ead Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Oooh lovely bass Eude. Clearly too many strings for a poor fool like me though The o/wound singles coils are great though. I have them on my P/J ACG and have just retro fitted as pair to my passive ACG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dazed Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 THAT IS NICE! Timing sucks though Are the single coils noiseless ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Nope, they're designed to get that raw edgy jazz bass tone so they're true single coil, but they're VERY quiet unless you've got noisy electronics. I've not had a problem until I bought my current house, I can't even plug in my wife's high end Marantz hifi amp without getting hum there. I'll still be getting SBs in my next ACG though, they sound fantastic! So in summary, not officially noiseless, but VERY quiet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flippyfloop Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 It would need to be a lot lighter than 10 lbs for me to want it [size=4] [/size] Loverly bass though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPJ Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 That is a cracker Eude. I've never had a 6'er but that would do! Do you take monthly payments? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm learning that I think I'm happiest on 18-19 ish. Although the status I had was 19 but couldn't get on with it at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merton Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Absolutely cracking bass, absolutely cracking chap, absolutely cracking price! If it was a 5 I've no doubt I'd be having trouble with the bank manager about now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eude Posted September 12, 2014 Author Share Posted September 12, 2014 It was designed to have 16.5mm so the Hipshot bridge will be setup to offer that as it's half way point I believe, so a bit of nudge either way. Adjustable to a degree, but I'm not sure you'll get much more than 17.5mm out of it, more likely 17mm comfortably. Tighter spacing is wonderful for finger playing, but can take a little more practice to get comfortable for slapping, but it's easily doable, non broadneck Warwick 5's and 6's have 16.5mm spacing and they seem fairly popular The bass was specced to be about player comfort, hence the tighter spacing, the 52mm nut and the 33" scale Eude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eude Posted September 13, 2014 Author Share Posted September 13, 2014 Stand well back Flippyfloop! The bass weighs.10.5 lbs! To be honest, I don't think you'd find anything made of dense Ash and Wenge weighing much less. The bass is very comfortable when you're playing it, standing or seated and that's what counts right?

GrammeFriday Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Yup. Balance is more important than weight, IMO, and 10.5 is par for the course for a sixer. Bet this feels great. Looks gorgeous, too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get lighter 6 strings but, not with Ash bodies and Wenge necks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
