CameronJ Posted March 14, 2017 Posted March 14, 2017 Wood grain! Front, back, fretboard...it's all so nice! I'm very jealous. In fact, I reckon if and when I've got enough spare cash lying around (probably not for a long time) an ACG will be my custom of choice. Seen so much variety on this forum and without exception they have all been beautiful Quote

Wolverinebass Posted March 15, 2017 Posted March 15, 2017 That's outrageous. Just outrageous. Nobody should own a bass that good looking. Quote
OliverBlackman Posted March 15, 2017 Posted March 15, 2017 What do these sound like? Are they clean or are they aggressive? Quote

ead Posted March 15, 2017 Author Posted March 15, 2017 It is indeed a P/J setup. The J p/up is set quite close to the bridge, and I don't know for certain but ACG p/ups normally have ceramic magnets unless you ask for Alnico. I've not had a massive amount of quality bass time with this one yet but it definitely has a bit of bite to it in a good way. The EQ is stand John East (not a filter EQ on this bass) plus the benefit of an active/passive tone control so i think I'll get a wide range of tones to access. Nice and light too at a little over 8lbs. The bass also has the ACG/Newtone strings fitted which I've never had before so I'm interested to see what they are like compared to my normal D'Addario Nickel BT sets. Quote
naxos10 Posted March 15, 2017 Posted March 15, 2017 Nice one ead, worth the top rating on the BASS scale. My Skelf SS is fitted with the John East active/passive eq and you will find it has a wide range of tones. Ive found it an almost seamless transition sound wise if you switch between the two options while playing. Quote
eude Posted March 15, 2017 Posted March 15, 2017 Unadulterated Filth! Splendid addition to the stable mate Eude Quote
Black Coffee Posted March 15, 2017 Posted March 15, 2017 That's a really nice ACG. Enjoy the experience. Quote
