Stuart1982 Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 Christmas Day has come early for me today. I have been extremely lucky enough to acquire an absolute beauty of a bass from the master Alan Cringean of ACG. The piece is an absolute dream to play and the tone from it is exquisite. This one is the Finn version, 5 string with a 33 inch scale. Incredibly smooth, comfortable and a joy to play. The body core is black limba with the top wood being ebony with a blood wood accent. Headstock is ebony matched. The neck is 3 piece maple with a bloodwood fingerboard with ebony blocks. Stunning! Hardware is a Hipshot bridge with Gotoh tuners. The pickups are ACG SB70 single coils paired with a John East Uni-Pre 4 preamp. It plays incredible and the pics don’t do it justice. One tasty bass. Alan as usual was excellent and a gent as always. The craftsmanship is second to none. If you’ve ever been in two minds about committing to an ACG build then don’t. Have a good look at the website and the various options available to you and contact Alan. Now for the pics Cheers Stuart 33 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodinblack Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 Love the colour of the neck / frets with the body, really nice contrast. Shouldn't it be under the tree with you waiting until monday though? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cato Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 I'm sure it plays amazingly, but just on aesthetics alone, that's very special indeed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
