three Posted January 3, 2019 Posted January 3, 2019 (edited) These are almost unbelievably good - the most playable bass I’ve owned - my go to for almost anything. Doesn’t look like this has crown inlays though. Does it come with the case? Also, any details re: condition? Edited January 3, 2019 by three 1
obbm Posted January 3, 2019 Posted January 3, 2019 This is the twin of mine - adjacent serial numbers, same colour, almost identical spec, etc. Mine doesn't have any crown inlays either. Absolutely cracking instrument. The Doug Wimbush neck is particularly playable if you have small hands.
Grantd Posted January 3, 2019 Author Posted January 3, 2019 Super versatile bass. And the neck is great! I sold the case on Basschat a while ago because I had too many taking up space in the house and I never expected to ever sell this beauty. I do have a mono semi rigid bag for it though - probably more usable. Condition is impeccable, no signs of use at all.
TheGreek Posted January 3, 2019 Posted January 3, 2019 Grant, you've probably got the best collection of basses that I've seen in a long time....remember me in your will???🤗🤗 1
Damonjames Posted January 6, 2019 Posted January 6, 2019 What a cool looking spector!!! I’ve been longing to try one their short scale basses for a long time!! Good luck with the sale 😄
sblueplanet Posted January 6, 2019 Posted January 6, 2019 With the smaller 30” neck is the body also reduced in scale/size?
Grantd Posted January 6, 2019 Author Posted January 6, 2019 I haven’t compared it to a 34” Spector but I would have thought the body would be the same size. The Spector body size is quite compact already.
scrumpymike Posted January 15, 2019 Posted January 15, 2019 Just visited Grant to try - and buy - an ACG. Also played the Spector while I was there. Great bloke, beautiful Shorty - I'd say anyone who's interested can buy this one with confidence! If I hadn't recently bought a Euro Bantam I would have taken this instead of the ACG!!

Great doing business with you.
burno70 Posted January 18, 2019 Posted January 18, 2019 Lovely bass - I want it very much, but lack the funds. Interested in any trades at all?

bigsmokebass Posted February 5, 2019 Posted February 5, 2019 Beautiful little bass, shame for the scale length but got an idea of what to get when I win the lottery 😂👍🏻 GLWTS
Damonjames Posted February 19, 2019 Posted February 19, 2019 I just watched an interview with Gary Tallent where he played his j/j shorty... oh my lord it sounded awesome. SOOOOOO TEMPTING 😱😱😱
