ACG Krell E-Type TRADED £1800 Bury, north Manchester

[Descendent]

I'm thinking about trading my ACG Krell E-Type.

 

It's a seriously incredible instrument (as are all ACGs) but I have a couple of things I play more often so I thought I'd offer this one up for something different.

 

Specs:

- Headless 31.5" scale - so easy to play!

- Chambered white limba body with swamp ash facings and dark contrast layers (likely dyed sycamore)

- Beautiful three-piece ash neck (standard carve NOT asymmetrical)

- Incredible aqua stained fingerboard

- ACG humbuckers

- ACG/East EQ01 filter preamp

- Neutrik locking jack

- Dunlop strap locks

- High quality Mono soft case.

 

I'll consider pretty much anything in trade - just ask. Fretless is good. Warwick. A different spec ACG. Rickenbacker. Something vintage. Sadowsky. Headed/headless. 4/5/6 strings. etc. etc.

 

If you don't have anything to trade and a straight sale is preferred, just send me a message, I'm also open to offers. Collection/meet up is ideal but shipping is very doable too.

This is a cracker! I had a noodle on it yesterday while collecting one of Tom's other stunning ACG's he was selling. I'm no 5 string player whatsoever but it really was a joy to play. Top guy too 👍

[Descendent]

Cheers @bigthumb, much appreciated. It certainly is a beaut! Folks might have to be quick, I almost changed my mind about the Recurve too, haha.

Anybody who's ever owned an ACG would testify that Alan's creations are legendary for good reason. 

I imagine that this is a fantastic bass, wish that I was in the position to take it off you. 

I'm sure someone will.

What’s the bridge string spacing on this?

[Descendent]

@Dazed, just measured it and it's 17mm. Looking at the ETS bridge piece though, it appears to be adjustable side-to-side if you want it any wider.

[wright/watt]

I have never been that keen on single cut basses, or headless basses, let alone having the ability to play a five string bass! You know what, that is all out the window now..lol😁

 

This is yet again, another truly stunning example of Alan's genius.. 

 

Good luck with the trade or sale of this beauty😀🤘

Thanks for the reply. Wonder if it could stretch out to 18mm 🤔

[Descendent]

@Dazed, they can be adjusted: there's a grub screw on each saddle which can be loosened and they move side-to-side. They move a decent amount so 18 should be easily done.

If that was a 4 i would have given it a go. 

[Dazed]

Do you know about the construction, is it a set neck or through neck?

[Descendent]

@Dazed it's a set neck. The neck fits into an extended pocket which goes all the way up to the neck pickup as you can see in the pics. He's added a piece of the same wood from the fingerboard for effect presumably.

Wow that is beautiful. Love the fretboard.
