Bigwan Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 (edited) Heavy heart this one. Bought around this time last year as I was in another wavering back and forward between 4 and 5 string phase. But the time has come to strip my gear right back to the bare bones and, as much as I love this bass, the ACG Recurve 5 I have just pips it at the post and was made to my specs. Alder body, ash top, full wenge neck, gotoh tuners, ACG filter pre with passive tone and battery indicator. Does a rather splendid Justin Chancellor impression if that's your thing, but can do pretty much everything besides! Bass was serviced by Alan Cringean before I took ownership of it. There are a few few little marks along the top edge of the fretboard that are difficult to photograph, otherwise it is in perfect shape. £900 including hiscox case. Courier no problem at your cost. **EDIT: As I'm on the clear out journey I'm not accepting trades on this one.** Edited October 17, 2019 by Bigwan 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Sheesh, thats amazing value. I bought one new last year and it cost more than double the asking price here. Mine is a simply excellent bass and I have no doubt this similarly spec'd one (except mine has cocobolo top and ebony board) is amazing too. Absolute bargain alert!

White Cloud Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Bargain! Mine is similar... I wouldn't part with it for all the tea in China! Does what a Wal does, except in a more ergonomic fashion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a great bass, nice and understated, and if I didn't already have a 5 string ACG I'd be keeping it without question, but the aim now is to trim down to 3 basses (ACG, wedding present P-bass and my old Aria Pro). Everything else bass-wise is going... Edited September 29, 2019 by Bigwan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Coffee Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 Lovely looking bass. ACG is an itch that needs scratched again, after selling my custom build I deeply regretted it but circumstances required it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Coffee Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Cant believe this is still here. An ACG is a quality bass. Probably the best basses you havent played actually and bigwan is sound to deal with have a bump on me .... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
