eude Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Well yesterday I was extremely lucky to pick up for new ACG from Alan himself at the UK Guitar Show in that London. It's a TKO Modern short scale 4 string, 30.5" scale for those who are interested. Very simple and a bit rootsy compared to my usual bass guitars, but it very much fills a gap that has been empty, since I sold my first Precision Bass in the mid 90's. It's got an Ash neck with a Rosewood fingerboard. A White Limba body with a figured Maple top, all coloured in black, well most of it, the neck included 😎 The single pickup is a reverse P Bass style in the chunky housing, simple Vol/Tone and that's it. The TKO is Alan's reinvention of the Tele, which I think works really well. I love reverse headstocks too, so while I was going to try something very different, why not go nuts! The bass has a really effortless punchy finger style tone, quite classic sounding but with a bit more bite when needed. I'm tempted to try out flats on it, but I do love the Newtones that came with, Newtones being my favourite string anyway. Anyway, I'm a very chuffed eude right now. Any questions, just shout!

CameronJ Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 (edited) Oh my goodness. I was expecting the “usual” TKO shape, which I’m not the biggest fan of, but this has been moulded and shaved in all the right places. A work of art! Love it. EDIT: just realised its a different model entirely - a TKO Modern as opposed to a TKO Classic. Well that clears things up!

Thank you mate, I'm extremely chuffed with the bass. Having played a few Tele basses in the past, I was expecting it to struggle a little with the tiny guitar sized body and a bass neck, but there's no issues whatsoever, it feels just right. There's no issue with reach and there's absolutely no neck dive seated or with the bass on a strap, more voodoo I expect. You're right theses ACGs are SO good, but they're better for your bank balance than a lot of custom basses out there! Eude 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
