[size=4]Had this ACG on order for a while and picked it up yesterday and gigged it last night (with 3 compliments and one "you sound like that bloke from tool").

[font=inherit][size=4]I've had a brief play about with it and the preamp is extremely versatile and can see myself getting an extremely large amount of tones from it once I understand it fully. One thing I have noticed in my short time with it is that each pickup provides great tones when used on their own. I've never played a bass where I liked the sound of the neck pickup solo until now. The neck is an absolute joy to play and found last nights set so much easier to play on this compared to my Warwick.[/size][/font]

[font=inherit]Will hopefully try and get some sound examples when I know the preamp a bit better.[/font]


[font="inherit"]anyway, onto the good part. Sorry for my crappy photography, natural light is [/font]sparse[font="inherit"] round these parts.[/font]

Stunning mate, fingerboard is ace.

Would love to hear any sound samples? Tool comment makes it sound like it is Wal'y, however my ACG (standard coil pickups) was quite a different animal. The newer preamp model sounds very good as well!

That whole bass looks like lava!! :D
Very cool! I'm intrigued by those pickups from Alan, although I just didn't get on with the filter pre when I had a Finn......for me there just too many options haha. Very powerful in the right hands though!

Enjoy!

I always liked how the fretboard wood flowed up the neck, does look a bit fiery!

and that was my thoughts exactly, given enough time spent with it it'll be a great all round tool

Complete and utter Filth!
I'm extremely jealous of course. Congrats mate.
How're you enjoying those amazing pickups?

Loving them so far. Haven't had too much of a chance to play with it at volume but punchy as a punchy thing so far but can be dialled to a smooth thump with ease.

The neck is the thing I'm most impressed by I think. Just plays effortlessly

Having played a couple of Ubers, the most striking thing I noticed was how even the tone, weight and volume was from the lowest notes on the B string to the highest noodles beyond the 12th fret.
It has the same voice across the whole range :)

I'd agree with you there. Also find that because of that every nuance in your playing is audible. Which if anything I find will help me even out my playing and be more critical of it, which is a good thing for me at least!
