niceguyhomer Posted May 4, 2009 Posted May 4, 2009 (edited) I love this bass but my shoulder problem persists and since I got my Sadowsky - it's not getting a look in. Very low action with no buzzing (when I play it anyway) - it plays itself. The ACG preamp is a revelation and retains the Spector growl and gives you a lot more besides. It also has the advantage (IMO) of only having a single volume knob + pup pan and once you get used to it, it's amazing what sounds you can get out of it from extreme trebbliness to deep deep bassiness. The B string is thunderous and clear as a bell. The bass is immaculate apart from a slight lacquer crack on the back going from the control cavity to the edge - it hasn't progessed since I bought the bass nearly a year ago. It's also had a brand new bridge from Spector (the B slot on the old one was too narrow for a 130 - so the original will come as a spare. It'll also come with gold Schaller straplocks. You can have it for [b]£675[/b] which is ridiculous for a bass of this quality - I don't want to post it so come and get it / will deliver within a reasonable distance. I have my eye on a bass that's up for sale at the mo but if that goes, trades are possible but please don't take the piss. A nice P or J, maybe a Sandberg or a good lined fretless with + / - cash adjustment might tempt me. Edited May 4, 2009 by niceguyhomer
GreeneKing Posted May 4, 2009 Posted May 4, 2009 This is one helluva platform for an ACG02 I can tell ya! Bump
Platypus Posted May 4, 2009 Posted May 4, 2009 (edited) Had a quick paly on this bass a while back and all I can say is its stunning and an absolute bargain at that price, what with the ACG preamp upgrade. Come to think of it, it's a bargain without any of the upgrades... Edited May 4, 2009 by Platypus

Mine is really light and you are welcome to try it any time. My G&L hasn't been getting a look in since i got the Sandberg.
silverfoxnik Posted May 4, 2009 Posted May 4, 2009 This is a popular bass, and it's easy to see why! Good luck with the sale Al, though i wouldn't be suprised if it's already gone by now!
niceguyhomer Posted May 4, 2009 Author Posted May 4, 2009 I think it has silverfoxnik Sadly, the bass I was hoping to buy has just been sold
