BCH Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Arrived yesterday, ACG Micro Krell headless 30.5" scale. I wanted to share...I wanted lightweight, Alan recommended "Paulownia" (which is a weed) with this achieved 6.4lb! It looks and feels great...so consider if you want light!! FYI Suhr build a classic T with a paulownia body As an aside, the Krell is fitted with ACG hybrid BZ1 pu selected by 4 position knob...1. Ceramic single coil.....2. Ceramic single coil & Alnico single coil....3. as 2 but in series...4. Alnico single coil Will need to experiment over a few rehearsals & gigs ...lots of fun or confusion 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4000 Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 I really like the logo on facing wood at the back of the neck, that’s a really lovely touch. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congratulations ! Thank you....I am a short scale convert (age and physicality issues) and so impressed with Alan's design & quality. He has also built me a 26.5" scale which I use for rehearsals (our booths are covid safe but very small..ha...any excuse) https://www.acguitars.co.uk/project/0400microkrell4-26-5/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellzero Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 The 26.5 inches scale is really attracting too. There's a guy in Germany selling a pair (fretted and fretless) for peanuts and I can't stop looking at the ad : https://www.bassic.de/kleinanzeigen/bargain-week-2mal-acg-micro-krell-fuer-2020-fr-fl.20733/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uk_lefty Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 That is a work of art. Absolutely spectacular. If I had made that I wouldn't let anyone else touch it, let alone sell it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoombung Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 Very nice. That's probably the model I'd go for if I ever ordered another bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan has added to his site....its a micro body which he normally fits 26.5" (which I also have) if you are looking for lightweight, consider a Paulownia body.
