patch006 Posted February 4, 2021 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
LeftyJ Posted February 4, 2021 Posted February 4, 2021 That hybrid top is brilliant, that blue resin really compliments the look! Wow Quote
TheGreek Posted February 4, 2021 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
patch006 Posted February 4, 2021 Author 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
JohnR Posted February 5, 2021 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

Did you ever sell that WAL you had? Quote
JohnR Posted July 31, 2021 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
skelf Posted November 5, 2021 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

JohnR Posted January 1, 2022 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
