skelf Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Hi A public apology to Mr Bear for a further delay on the delivery of his bass. The new pickup has arrived and is fine but in putting the pickup in I noticed the lacquer has developed a blue tinge on one part of the back. This I suspect has been caused by some trapped solvent in the lacquer. So under the circumstances I can't put the bass out like this as it is not up to standard. I am going to sand the bass back and re-spray it this in turn will delay the bass by another 7/10 days. For this I am extremely sorry to Mr Bear as if I was in his position I would be disappointed having expected the bass this week only to be told that it will be delayed again.

thedontcarebear Posted February 28, 2008 Author Share Posted February 28, 2008 Alan has his own section of the board further down, but doesn't discuss prices on it, but you can e-mail him, if you want to know the price of mine I will tell you if you PM me.

GreeneKing Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Alan's prices are, considering the quality of his instruments, extremely reasonable. I've just ordered my 2nd ACG and considering the specs it's a great price. Alan is also a one man band and his basses are unique so you need to talk to him and discuss these things, its a real benefit dealing with an individual IMO, truly bespoke basses.
