Descendent Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 (edited) *EDIT* After being up for sale for a while & not drumming up much interest for a cash sale, I'm open to trade offers for [b]4 string[/b] Warwick Thumbs & Streamers. Admittedly that's a pretty limited range but you never know! Trade value is £1200 as it won't let me edit the original cash value. __ This was made by Alan at ACG for Manchester Bass Lounge in 2013 and is in very good condition. There's a ding on the back of the neck but I can't feel it when playing - I need to take a photo of that at some point. It's the most balanced and crystal clear sounding bass I've ever owned or played and is ridiculously comfortable and easy to play - the filtered preamp is very intuitive when you get used to it and you can get so many more unique tones from it than a standard 3-band EQ. [u][b]Here's the full spec:[/b][/u] Body wood - black walnut Top wood - wenge Veneer - maple Finish - satin lacquer Neck - 5pc maple & wenge, asymmetric profile Headstock - matching wenge Fingerboard - Indian ebony Pickups - ACG FB humbuckers Electronics - ACG SEQ preamp (this is the basic filtered preamp offered by ACG which has two low pass filters and a blend). Hardware - Hipshot & Gotoh. [b][u]TRADES:[/u][/b] [b]Warwick Thumb (4 string) Warwick Streamer [/b][b](4 string)[/b] Any questions, give me a shout.

White Cloud Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Almost bass perfection. Absolutely love it...but Mrs White Cloud insists it's the wrong time of the year for a bass purchase. Humbug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merton Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 (edited) Oh man if that was a 33" scale it would be hard to resist, it's almost a 5 string version of the 4 string I recently specced with Alan Gorgeous, GLWTS Edited December 23, 2014 by Merton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I'm not sure of the weight as I don't have any scales but Alan at ACG doesn't really make very lightweight basses (apart from by request I suppose) so I'd say it's between 9 & 10lbs. It sits really well on a strap though and the balance is perfect because of the long top horn and lightweight tuners. The scale length is 34". Alan specialises in making shorter scale extended range basses so I wouldn't be worried about the B string performance on this beauty. There are some 32" 6-string ACGs knocking about that sound incredible. [quote name='Kev' timestamp='1420759651' post='2653260'] Gorgeous! Can we have a look at that ding in the neck? Pm if you wish [/quote] Yes, I'll try & take a shot or two over the weekend. I borrowed someone else's camera for those shots so they won't be quite as good unfortunately! I'll post it here as people have a right to see it but it's not too bad - honest! Edited January 9, 2015 by Descendent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Descendent Posted January 9, 2015 Author Share Posted January 9, 2015 I had another quick play on this last night and it's gorgeous so snap it up before I change my mind, haha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Descendent Posted January 10, 2015 Author Share Posted January 10, 2015 Here are the shots of the ding on the back of the neck. It's only really in the lacquer and doesn't seem to have affected the wood so nothing serious at all. Thought I would post them here anyway to be fully transparent with everything.
