andydye Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 Today isn't strictly a new bass dayy as it's due for collection today but I just got some pics of the finished bass and am quite excited! Just look at that Black Limba top and all that delicious ebony fingerboard [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/andy_dye/sets/72157635083156126/"]http://www.flickr.com/photos/andy_dye/sets/72157635083156126/[/url] [url=http://www.flickr.com/photos/andy_dye/9516683856/][/url] [url=http://www.flickr.com/photos/andy_dye/9516683856/]10[/url] by [url=http://www.flickr.com/people/andy_dye/]andydye[/url], on Flickr [url=http://www.flickr.com/photos/andy_dye/9513895969/][/url] [url=http://www.flickr.com/photos/andy_dye/9513895969/]11[/url] by [url=http://www.flickr.com/people/andy_dye/]andydye[/url], on Flickr [url=http://www.flickr.com/photos/andy_dye/9516683416/][/url] [url=http://www.flickr.com/photos/andy_dye/9516683416/]14[/url] by [url=http://www.flickr.com/people/andy_dye/]andydye[/url], on Flickr It's a P/J and has a 3 band east pre...just blissful!! Quite excited about tomorrow!! Quote
hubrad Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 *Like* :-) Fretless 5 gets my vote anyway; never played an ACG but that does look rather quality! Quote

I fancied a simpler pre on the fretless still with some control over mids but not in such an intense global way as with the custom ACG pre and I've heard really good and transparent things about the East stuff so wanted to give one a shot Quote

Badass Posted August 16, 2013 Posted August 16, 2013 (edited) You'll have to post some sound clips of both pre's for us compare the two Andy...Just to upset me more Edited August 16, 2013 by Badass Quote

ead Posted August 16, 2013 Posted August 16, 2013 (edited) Looks great that. It's Friday surely you can claim time off on religious grounds. Or better still still a medical emergency......GAS. Edit. I thought I recognised that body, it was going to be mine until Alan waved the Dirty Ash J Type at me... Edited August 16, 2013 by ead Quote
