eude Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 (edited) Hey guys, up for sale is my ACG Finn SC fretless 5 string. It’s no secret that I’m a massive ACG fan, I’m only selling this to fund a new more suitable build (shorter scale and with more strings), so absolutely no trades please :-) This bass is absolutely beautiful with a sound to match. It has a 33” scale which makes it easier to play than a 34” and brings a nice sweetness to the upper register, without sacrificing any tension on a the low B as the thing is so bloody well made! It's a set neck and has a lovely carved heel providing great access to all the notes at the dusty end. The body is deeper than normal, 50mm, however it’s chambered which I believe really adds some warm and presence particularly suited to a fretless bass. Here’s some sound samples >> [url="https://soundcloud.com/eudeboy/sets/acg-finn-sc-classic-fretless-samples"]https://soundcloud.c...retless-samples[/url] - apologies for the playing... The bass has ACG's EQ03 filter preamp, it's a veritable swiss army knife, allowing you to really dial in on that perfect fretless tone. It has two low filters, one per pickup which lets you set up the bass for two extremely different sounds, or blend the two for a really complex and detailed tone. You can read more about ACG's filter preamps here >> [url="http://www.acguitars.co.uk/acg_admin/wordpress/basses/electronics/"]http://www.acguitars...es/electronics/[/url] and you can download the PDF instructions for the preamp here >> [url="http://www.acguitars.co.uk/acg_admin/wordpress/pdf/ACG_EQ03.pdf"]http://www.acguitars...df/ACG_EQ03.pdf[/url] In simple terms the preamp takes the best of Wal and Alembic filter preamps and really delivers a useful and powerful way to discover great tones. It's currently strung with DR Sunbeams, but I have some Fender flats cut to length which I can include or fit instead. The bass is pretty much mint, it has been played a fair bit but has never been gigged. There’s some marking on the fingerboard from playing with round wounds (basses are made to be played though), however I’ll give the fingerboard a nice oiling before it goes out. Here’s the specs >> Top: Tasmanian Burl Myrtle Accent: 4mm Sycamore Body: American Cherry Chambered Neck: 5 Piece Maple/Bubinga with gently rounded asymmetrical profile Fingerboard: Ebony with Maple fret lines and zero (flat) radius Scale: 33” Pickups: 2 ACG Overwound Single Coils Preamp: ACG EQ03 4K Filter with low battery indicator Hardware: Hipshot A Type Bridge and Gotoh Resolite Tuners (Black) Weight: 9.15lbs (4.15kg) Price includes a Hiscox hardcase, but I can supply a Fusion F1 gigbag for an additional £50, and won’t ship without one or the other. Shipping to UK only, at this stage, at buyers cost, but will consider shipping overseas. [b]Price: £1300 - again, no trades please![/b] UPDATE with some pics >> You can see more piccies on ACG's website >> [url="http://www.acguitars.co.uk/acg_admin/wordpress/portfolio/0125-finn-sc-classic-fretless-5-string/"]http://www.acguitars...tless-5-string/[/url] Any questions, requests etcs, let me know!

ead Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 This must be one of the few Eude basses I've not had a go on, but if it's like the others it will be immaculate and a beautiful instrument. Eude is a genuine bloke and a top banana to deal with even if he is the size of a hobbit and requires non-manly scale lengths. GLWTS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about the balance of the bass, does it suffer from any neck diving, playing it sitting and standing ? Al the best Svend [/quote] HI Svend, I've just weighed the bass and it's a little over 9 pounds or 4.15kg in new money. As far as balance goes, on a strap it's perfect, no neck dive whatsoever, on the lap it's a tiny bit tricky because of the smaller lower horn, but no more so than say a Warwick, and the thicker body helps compensate too.
