DELETE! i keep it! ACG ÜBER Recurve fretless 6-string Bass £3950 Germany, Frankfurt area

[Eisen]

This ACG ÜBER Recurve 6string fretless bass was built in 2018 by Scottish luthier Alan Cringean, ACG (Alan Cringean Guitars) to my specifications, i.e. Wal specifications, and was delivered in July 2018.
The ÜBER series is Alan's premium series and as the name suggests, nothing beats it! Such a bass currently easily costs more than 6,000.00 euros on the continent, depending on the specifications.

I would like 4600,00 Euro / 3950,00 GBP for this bass.

 Specs….:
• Body Wood: Mahogany

• Top/Back Wood: 3 color ART Maple Burl with Maple Veneer
• Body Finish: Satin Lacquer

• Neck Wood: 5 piece Maple/Mahogany

• Finger Board: Ebony without fretlines with side dots in the usual positions, where the fretlines would be
• Scale: 34″
• Neck finish: Satin Lacquer
• Pickups: ACG MC 6 multicoil pickups, these are real multicoils, like Wal!
• Hardware: ACG/Hipshot bridge 18mm, Schaller straplocks , low battery indicator
• Pre-amp: ACG DFM 4K filter (!) preamp, like Wal
• Hiscox case and adjustment tools

With this equipment, the bass is a real whaler and even more versatile!
If you don't want to or can't join the Wal hype, you should take a look at Alan Cringean's basses. I still own an identical 5-string ÜBER Recurve that I play almost exclusively now, because age is taking its toll. That's why the 6-string bass is still the way it came and has only a few playing hours under its belt. It is completely immaculate and living room-groomed. The setup was made by the respected German bass builder Magnus Krempel, who lives nearby.

Unfortunately, my back is forcing me to sell this wonderful bass...

Maybe the price is good only on the continent because of customs and taxes in the UK?

Private sale without guarantee, exchange or return! Shipping possible after consultation.

Wow

[Hellzero]

Wunderschön!

[Eisen]

Thanks for nice and "wunderschönen" comments! Here is another appetizer...

One of the most stunning ACGs I've ever seen and that is saying something!

Also the star of an ACG and a few years back...

 

 

If this was a short(er) scale length I would be in all kinds of trouble.

 

Best of luck with the sale.

Very nice bass. Another masterpiece from Alan. Unfortunately to many strings for me. Good luck with the sale.

Thanks! Yes, this may be the best bass I`ve ever owned. But I can`t handle 6-stringers anymore. I´m not totally lost I still got this one:

Perhaps I should sell this one: higher fight class weight, higher price, older, less strings...?

Iconic(ish) bass verses new Uber bass.  I say ish as it’s not a Mk1 which I think is the ultimate Wal (I px’d mine 🥴).

 

I know which one I’d go for ….
