MNY Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 (edited) I picked this bass up new in early September from The Great British Bass Lounge in Macclesfield.(RRP £1975) It’s a superbly well made instrument and it sounds wonderful but I would really like some sort of 5 string. 18-19 mm string spacing is preferred. I am probably happier going for a straight trade but not for anything too heavy, this bass is pretty lightweight at sub 8 pounds. Also happy to consider a trade for something of lower value, possibly Ibanez with cash my way. The bass comes with a Fender deluxe gig bag which is super high quality and virtually brand new. If you have any questions please send me a message. Here us a link to the bass on the AC site and the review of this instrument by Mike Brooks. http://www.acguitars.co.uk/project/0291retroj4/ Edited October 31, 2020 by MNY Change to title 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MNY Posted November 1, 2020 Author Share Posted November 1, 2020 I can’t see the point of trying to move this tbh considering yesterday’s announcement, coupled with the fact that playing it yesterday made me reassess my requirements. I can play most of what I hear on a 4 string and quite simply this is in my opinion one of the best boutique basses money can buy bar none. The build, action and sound is incredible. I might just fit a D tuner if I can find one to match, which might be tricky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MNY Posted November 1, 2020 Author Share Posted November 1, 2020 Thanks Brian, I hope you are keeping well by the way. I think I need the G more than I do the B, and I can always just tune the E string down to D when necessary I guess. I love listening to Marcus Miller and he seems to tune his Fender down from time to time, rather than play a 5 string. Although on Wayne Shorter’s High Life he plays 5 string on the track ‘On the Milky Way Express’ and it sounds ridiculous. ( in a good way).
