eude Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 (edited) [b]SOLD.[/b] It's with a heavy heart that I'm putting my ACG Recurve 4 string up for sale. I have a baby on the way in July and a new ACG 6 string fretless following afterwards, so the one in - one out policy is going to have to be respected more so than ever, for basses at least! Here's the bass on Alan's site >> [url="http://archive.acguitars.co.uk/portfolio/0204-recurve-4-short-scale/"]http://archive.acgui...-4-short-scale/[/url] The bass is a nice mix of ACG's modern, considered design and fancy wood specs, with a more traditional yet extremely flexible electronics set up. It has a 31.5" scale, which makes for an extremely playable and comfortable instrument without any shortcomings whatsoever.

ikay Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 (edited) Lovely. Could you explain the knobs and eq bit more please. Is it an East 3-band SPM-01 modular setup with internal freq selection? Does it have a pickup balance control or is it just a selector switch? What are the 4 pickup selector settings? Thanks Edited May 22, 2017 by ikay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ead Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 This is a great bass and I can only imagine how much of a wrench it will be for young Mr Eude (who is a top banana btw for those who may not know him). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikay Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Sorry, just seen on the ACG website that the preamp is a P-Retro. The 4-way switch is presumably bridge / neck / series / parallel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 4-way switch is presumably bridge / neck / series / parallel? [/quote] Yup, you've pretty much answered your own question here. It's a P-Retro, but it's tweaked a little to ACG's spec. The first stack is Volume/Tone, with a pull pot for bass boost (which you can set internally). Second stack is a very clever cut/boost control on top, with a frequency selector which allows you to select bass and treble, or mid frequencies, this also has a pull pot for treble boost (again settings can be altered internally). Third control is a 4 way selector - Neck, Neck and Bridge in Series (Ballsy as all hell), Neck and Bridge in Parallel (Articulate), and Bridge. Fourth control is a 2 way rotary switch to select active/passive. In passive mode you can still use the tone control. Cheers, Eude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I once had "Señor Designer" printed on my work business cards, rather than "Senior Designer", my boss checked them and OK'd the print job. I got away with it too for about 3 months!
