Actually they are Newtone 115 (e string) strings made specifically for this scale bass - UK made, readily available and don’t cost the earth. I will include a spare set in the deal. I'm keeping the fretless version of this bass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roadybus Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 ...not much space to intonate on a 26,5“ i guess i‘d love to hear it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grantd Posted January 5, 2020 Author Share Posted January 5, 2020 Sounds just like the link posted by Eude. And it's in much better hands than mine, with this fella. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrumpymike Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 What a little gem is this! I have a lovely ACG Border Reiver I bought from Grant a while back and can thoroughly recommend him as a top bloke. Happy New Year Grant and GLWTS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roadybus Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Thanx, i got the video already, i was wondering about sound and handling of your fretless version of this bass, actually... guess it‘s tricky!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tricky - not really, comparable with a Rob Allen Mouse from a handling perspective. The slim neck and compact size just makes it easy to manage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The slim neck and compact size just makes it easy to manage. I just couldn’t get on with a 34” fretless, to the point that I was giving up the idea of playing fretless at all, until I tried and subsequently purchased a RA Mouse, so much easier for me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eude That sounds great. Obviously the playing contributes but the core sound of the instrument is so rich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elfrasho Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 I had a wee go on this over the weekend and I i can assure any potential buyers that the video above is a true reflection of the sound and tone you'll get. It doesn't lack anything you'd expect from a more standard scale length, and it's very (very) playable, even for someone with big hands like me! Plus, it looks and feel's tremendous as per all ACG's I've tried. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
