ACG newborn

[BCH]

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

Lovely! The BZ1 pickup is superb, lots of variety from a single pickup

I really like the logo on facing wood at the back of the neck, that’s a really lovely touch. 

[Reggaebass]

Oh yeah, that’s stunning 😍

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)

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/

For that you'd drive over and chuck 'em  in 2 old cases then drive back!

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!

Very nice. That's probably the model I'd go for if I ever ordered another bass.

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.

Oh my! 😍
