patch006 Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Hi all, check out the bass available being made by Alan at ACG. On his site and Facebook world class, I commissioned one many years ago and sold it then recently picked up a second hand one. I have no affiliation with the company, just saying they at blooming brilliant ! Check it out 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeftyJ Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 That hybrid top is brilliant, that blue resin really compliments the look! Wow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Alan makes some of the most beautiful basses (and guitars unfortunately) I've ever seen. I loved both of mine but I was far too precious with the Harlot SC in particular. They're for playing too...not just pieces of art. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patch006 Posted February 4, 2021 Author Share Posted February 4, 2021 I so want this, but have no justification for it 🤦♂️ it’s as high end as you can get in my opinion at a very reasonable price compared to the likes of Wal and the like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnR Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 I'm in the final stages of agreeing a new build spec with Alan. I am left handed and did consider this bass but there are a few very specific features I wanted for my own build. Exciting times. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnR Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Hi Kev. My Wal ended up in the USA in the hands of Steve Chesney who is well known in Wal circles. The new ACG is expected around October/November and I am beyond excited. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skelf Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 This bass is back up in the IN Progress section of my website. I was not happy with the finish so re did it. Not far from finished so limited time to claim the 10% in progress discount. https://www.acguitars.co.uk/project/salaceetype5/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnR Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 And here it is in all its glory. I went for a completely flat fingerboard radius and it has been a revelation to play. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
