BassoDeProfundis Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 (edited) For Sale or Trade - £1300 Location - West Malling, Kent [size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Hi,[/font][/size] [size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]After a lot of thought I have decided to retire from bass playing and sell my last two basses, so I'm relisting my ACG Über ART Recurve 4 (previously listed in January 2016 [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/277936-for-sale-or-trade-acg-uber-art-recurve-4/page__p__2966511__hl__rob%20allen__fromsearch__1%23entry2966511"]http://basschat.co.uk/topic/277936-for-sale-or-trade-acg-uber-art-recurve-4/page__p__2966511__hl__rob%20allen__fromsearch__1#entry2966511[/url]) to be followed later by my Fretted Rob Allen Deep Five. [/font][/size] [size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]I've not played the ACG much and it has not been gigged by me (gave up gigging years ago). Overall it is in very good condition although there are the cosmetic issues previously described - three areas where the finish is less than perfect and has a very slight ripple (one on the headstock and two on the body) There are also two extremely small indentations on the top side edge of the headstock. [/font][/size] [size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]The bass is shown and described on the ACG website:-[url="http://www.acguitars.co.uk/acg_admin/wordpress/portfolio/0157u-uber-art-recurve-4/"]http://www.acguitars...-art-recurve-4/[/url][/font][/size] [size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][b]Details [/b][/font][/size] [size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Maple burl top on white limba body, with Acrylic Resin Treatment (ART) in Aqua Blue. 5 piece wenga neck with satin finish on back and maple pinstripe, and Luminlay markers.

TorturedSaints Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Wow. Wish this was up a month ago, as I bought another ACG 4 string off BC instead . . . There is no way I can have another, sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassoDeProfundis Posted May 20, 2016 Author Share Posted May 20, 2016 Great comments, thanks. It is a beautiful piece of craftsmanship and deserves someone who is going to make the most of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twincam Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 This is my dream bass (in looks) everytime it's came up I've wanted it. Having owned an acg custom I know it would not be for me personally. If you've not owned an ACG before they are great high quality basses, very well built, much better than many custom basses I've came across. And the wood treatment does add a bit of durability. Great price I think too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eubassix Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Exceptional example of (a) great instrument(s). I'm currently enjoying an ACG Rc-FL5 and have owned a Rc4 in the past. This is probably the nicest Rc4 I've seen - shame (for me) its not a 5 :- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 I hope this bass finds its forever home soon, kinda sad to see it passed around! Excellent price on this considering what you are getting, the MC pickup and DFM preamp combo is only found on the top spec instruments and don't come cheap!

uke Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Fell in love with this bass when I first played it in Moffat. Stunning instrument, couldn't afford it then, or now! GLWTS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cameronj279 Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 If I hadn't just bought a guitar I would buy this instantly. This bass is perfect other than lack of strings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/color][/size][size="3"][color="#000000"] [/color][/size][size="3"][color="#000000"]I'm now open to trades for the ACG and have a fairly open mind about what to trade for. I'm a bit out of touch regarding basses,[/color][/size][size="3"][color="#000000"] [/color][/size][size="3"][color="#000000"]but would prefer something with more simplistic sound controls (I've played a Rob Allen and an SB1 for years and got used to the minimalistic approach).

BaggyMan Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 (edited) I have a passive ACG uber graft 5. Perhaps a trade (with some cash your way??) [sharedmedia=core:attachments:219251] And i'm in Rochester! Edited May 31, 2016 by BaggyMan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
