ead Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 While you were all looking the other way I made a sneaky mod to my ACG Finn. Any ideas what might have been done folks? Before: After: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ead Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 It's actually a 4-position coil switch for the new pickup. This is one of the brand spanking new ACG BZ1 Hybrid Humbuckers. It's a great little device that is, to quote from @skelf recent post in the ACG thread, " ...a hybrid humbucker in that it uses two different magnets for the coils. This allows for an Alnico single coil and a ceramic single coil in the same case. Combined with a rotary switch or 3 way mini toggle you have access to the separate coils and the coils combined. Think vintage single coil and modern single coil then both combined as a humbucker." I rashly promised to record some sound samples but I should issue a public health warning that these will not be to same high standard as the excellent Colin Cunningham ACG demos. I'm going to blame COVID-19 but I have a feeling that a marginal difference in talent might be responsible. I'll post them as soon as possible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skelf Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Just to let you know you will have company. I am actually going to have to record a demo of the SLG 5 for someone in the USA so truly desperate times. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ead Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 OK here goes, samples below. I spec'ed the bass with Alan at ACG to be essentially a passive 32" scale precision with the pickup in the P bass sweat spot. The bass has an Alder body with a flame maple top, a 3-piece Ash neck and a Maple board so possible a tad brighter than your average precision. Here's the link to the spec.: https://www.acguitars.co.uk/project/0339finn4/ I recorded the same riff in each of the four switch settings with both volume and tone controls fully 'on' to make it as straight a comparison as possible. The strings are a new set of D'Addario EXL170BT nickel round wounds, that seem to find their way onto all my fretted basses.

Bass Direct have a couple of MARUSZCZYK medium scales, Jazz & Precision styles. Jake & Elwoods. Other than that, you see the odd used MIJ.

Is it just a neck you need? Not sure how much shipping / taxes would be, but how about this? https://aeguitars.com/collections/necks/products/medium-scale-paddle-bass-neck-maple-rosewood-right-lefty-block-inlay If it doesn't have to be a Fender-style headstock then there's a Gibson-style headstock one at https://retrovibe.co.uk/product/retrovibe-bass-neck-32-medium-scale-20-fret-maple-blackwood/ Alternatively, buy this! 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Retrovibe ones aren't going to look right on a jaguar body. Your bass for sale is basically exactly what i'm looking to build except with a different body. Ok - let me think on it!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you aren’t fussy about it being Fender style then I have a 2+2 medium scale neck I’m think of offloading. If you are, I have a Gypsy Rose 32” P/J project that I’m also thinking of offloading.
