**priced to go - now £1100**

 

I’m selling my ACG Skelf, acquired from here last year. I’m a bit obsessed with ACGs and this is one of the best I’ve ever played. It’s beautiful bass, well balanced, has a low action and plays like a dream. I'm loathe to let this go as it's a pretty wonderful bass but there's something specific I have my eye on.

 

Body wood – black limba

Top wood – curly redwood

Neck – lightly asymmetric, maple/wenge/padauk

Fingerboard – acrylic impregnated wenge

Pickups – ACG overwound single (neck) ACG humbucker (bridge), both have toggles for splitting

Electronics – ACG/East SEQ+ preamp. Essentially a powerful tone control for each pickup plus a global treble control for adding extra bite (think Wal or Stingray)

Hardware – Hipshot, Dunlop strap pins

Weight – 8.8lbs

Scale length – 34"

 

I don’t have a case but I’m willing to ship (GB only) and I have super sturdy double-walled box and a ton of wrap so it’s very do-able. Collection always welcome too.

 

Any questions just drop me a PM. I'd be interested in trades for a 4 stringer, especially a Warwick neck through of some sort. I would say trade value would be more but open to discussion. Ordering a new one to this spec would set you back £3000+ so it's a bit of a bargain!

I really like that shape


Me too. If you photograph it wrong it can look a bit idiosyncratic but there are certain angles which really make it look great. Hopefully the above is one of those, haha.

Out of my price range at the moment, but I don’t understand this bit of the spec:

 

”Pickups – ACG overwound single (neck) ACG humbucker (bridge), both have toggles for splitting”

 

How does the toggle on the single coil work? Or is it a narrow double coil, or maybe something else?

The neck single coil is overwound so it's fairly aggressive tonally, the switch is a coil tap which knocks it back to make it smoother and mellower. Does that make more sense?
