ACG Krell

[Stuart1982]

Hi folks 

 

Just wanted to show you another fantastic ACG I’ve acquired from the great Alan Cringean. 
 

This one is a pure joy both in terms of feel, playability and tone. Alan’s work is second to none. 
 

This is the Krell model, 5 string and 35 inch. ART maple on top of a swamp ash body. Ash neck with wenge strips. Fingerboard is flamed sycamore with blue dots from the bass body. Luminlay side dots. Hipshot ultralite tuners and Hipshot bridge then finally a John East Uni Pre 4. Pickups are a FB humbucker in the neck and an RFB humbucker at the bridge. This combo can cut through the mix no problem.

 

If 2024 is the year you’re looking for a custom bass then get into ACGs website. Alan is a pure gent and any communication I’ve had with him has been top notch. 
 

All the best 
Stuart

That's a beauty. I had a superb Krell from Alan but sold it on as it was too heavy for me.  Great basses.

That is beautiful, I love the colour choice with the fingerboard wood.  I have owned an ACG recurve 5 string for a few years its only 34inch scale but the B string feels great.  The 35inch must make if feel thunderous.

 

Enjoy dude

Very nice mate. Shame you had to part with it. Get a lighter one ordered 😀

Love the Krell shape, that's a winner. You weren't tempted to go with the multicoils and filter pre?

I’ve always been tempted with the multi coils. I have the filter pre in 2 or 3 of my other ACG basses and I love it. My plan is to get an Uber build as ACG calls it with the multi coils etc for my 50th. Thats a few years away yet but gives me time to decide what model I’d like and to save up for it 😀.

Good lord that's a great looking instrument. Congrats on your impeccable taste.

Lovely! That top!

[TRBboy]

That's stunning man, congrats! ❤️🔥👌

[bigthumb]

If I were ever to be in the position to order a bass off Alan I'd ask for a 4 string version of that! Absolutely stunning in every way. Congratulations! 

[Stuart1982]

Thanks for the reply’s folks. It’s an absolute joy to play. Any spare chance I get its over my shoulder more or less playing some Rush 😀 amongst others.
