ACG 5 string jazz SOLD PENDING USUAL £650 Nottingham

[Dread Bass]

For sale is my much loved ACG jazz. This is  the first bass I’m putting up and will be adding my 6 string fretted and fretless ACGs over the next few months so let me know if you are interested. I’ve not fallen out of love with ACG and will never sell my 7 string but I’m not playing much bass and my overwater suits my band better. I’m more interested in building basses so moving some on to fund tools.

Here we have a 5 string jazz bass in black from the first batch Alan did of these. It’s got great ACG features in an affordable package and more mainstream look. It has an asymmetrical neck and a flat fingerboard. I got the bass 2nd hand and the original p retro was not working properly so I replaced it with an East 2 band Unipre with an active passive switch.  

It can do more vintage and super jazz tones and has great action. It’s also light weight.  
 

body - alder

fingerboard - rosewood flat radius

neck - three piece maple asymmetric 

pickups - ACG j bass

preamp - uni pre

hardware - hipshot 

gotoh tuners

hipshot bridge 18mm spacing

The reason for the cheap price is that the bass is not in the best condition. It has a few scratches and marks which I’ve tried to capture in the photos. The worst being a small chip and dent in the back of the neck where another bass fell of its stand. I can provide more pictures of any part as needed. Also the scratch plate has yellowed slightly on one side. To be honest I prefer the bass without the plate on and there is no swimming pool rout. The neck bolts have some rust on them. Alan may be willing to sell replacements of the bolts and the scratch plate. I’ve never asked him as it’s never bothered me. 

I don’t have a case for it but I can include a worn Ritter double gig bag for £30. It’s strung with some fairly new Newtone strings and I will do a basic set up and fret polish before I move it on. 

I would prefer to have it collected and am very happy to deliver or meet up for a contribution towards fuel. I can ship but buyer takes full responsibility. 
 

this is a great entry into the world of ACG at a very reasonable price and it’s a great super jazz. If I was playing more I wouldn’t consider selling it but I need a bandsaw more than a bass gathering dust.

 

any questions do let me know.
