niceguyhomer Posted May 4, 2009 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreeneKing Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 This is one helluva platform for an ACG02 I can tell ya! Bump Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platypus Posted May 4, 2009 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverfoxnik Posted May 4, 2009 Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
