obbm Posted January 4, 2016 Posted January 4, 2016 (edited) After much deliberation I’ve decided to put my ACG Headless Harlot 5-string up for sale as I gig very rarely now and [b][i]have no need for a 5-string[/i][/b]. Since I had it made 6 years ago it has had minimal use and has never been gigged so it’s as new. It has a wicked tone, a great action and very easy and comfortable to play thanks to the asymmetric neck shape. This is a superb example of Alan’s work. 34-inch scale Swamp Ash body core Asian Ebony top/veneer. Through 5 piece flame maple/wenge neck Acrylic Flame Sycamore neck – no dots Dual Action trussrod Carbon neck rods Blue LED via fiber-optic side dots Black hardware Hipshot Ultralite Tuners. Hipshot Type A bridge - 18mm spacing ACG String anchor RFB humbucker bridge pick-up with coil switching RFB Single coil neck pick-up. John East Filter Pre-amp. Schaller Straplocks. Status strings Fusion Gigbag Would possibly consider trade for US or Japanese Precision with 'B' neck plus cash my way. As already stated I am not looking for a 5 or a 6-string bass. All trade offers by PM please, not in this thread. Edited May 26, 2016 by obbm
lowregisterhead Posted January 4, 2016 Posted January 4, 2016 That's lovely. Does the ACG string anchor allow for the use of standard strings, or do they have to be double ball ends?
ead Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 I think the current one does both but not sure whether there were earlier incarnations. Gorgeous bass BTW, neck-through not longer available from ACG so grab this whilst you can people.

Bass_Man_Baz Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 If only I had the spare cash! Gorgeous bass, best of luck with the sale 👍
skelf Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 The headpiece will take normal strings as well using grub screws to lock the string in place. If you no longer have them I can sort that out for the new owner.
andydye Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 Yet another of Alan's beautiful basses! He don't make no dogs!!

eude Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 Bump for a stunning bass and a jolly nice Basschatter too. If the specs were a little bit more to my tastes I'd be in a lot of trouble. Eude
