Kevsy71 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 (edited) Just took delivery this afternoon, not yet plugged in but wanted to share a few pics! Many of you will have seen this model at various shows, it is (I think the first?) Acrylic Resin Treated (ART) model from ACG. This imparts a unique colour pattern based on the wood cell structure. Here is the ACG page for this bass: [url="http://www.acguitars.co.uk/acg_admin/wordpress/portfolio/0157u-uber-art-recurve-4/"]http://www.acguitars...-art-recurve-4/[/url] I have taken hi res pics but have posted them on photobucket to save bandwidth here, make sure you click the zoom icon on the top right of each photo to get the best definition of that pattern!

Jellyfish Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Remember seeing that at least year's show. Stunning instrument in the flesh and very unique finish too, congratulations on getting hold of it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 woo I came extremely close to buying this, I'm glad it has found a home! Really interested to hear what it sounds like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also thankfully not some horrid 5 string thing [/quote] Were it a 5 string I would have bought it in May! Tis good to see it sold though...although was looking forward to having a go a the bass bash and can't now It sounds better than it looks (and that's quite a statement) for those who are curious about the sound!

Ticktock Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Oh, my......... I've seen that technique used for knife handles but wow, that looks fabulous!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twincam Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 I should add i have nothing against 5 or 6 strings i just think they don't look as nice as a 4 string. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] There are definitely certain shapes that just suit a 4 string and not a 5/6. Warwick Thumb looks weird as a 4 string but great as a 5 string IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ead Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Great stuff, congratulations. I will admit to having had a quiet noodle at the last MBB and loved the bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
