lemmywinks Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 These are all bargains but that classic Jazz is a steal! Luthier-made bass for £500? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedontcarebear Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 I wanted that jazz when it was on his website in the stock bit! Can't really justify anything at the moment though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burno70 Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 [quote]That jazz looks delicious! If only i could afford[/quote] It is delicious. I play this one quite regularly round at Eds, it sounds amazing, plays lovely and I'm totally gutted I don't have the spuds to buy it. It is a total steal at that price. It's a million times better than what Fender are offering for twice as much at the moment - and no I'm not "sticking up for a mate" its the truth. I'm genuinely bitter it's going and not to me! Good luck with the sale kev (well kind off) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RayFW Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 What's the string spacing at the bridge please? How does this sound? I guess the EQ01 makes it very versatile but how does it fare at something like a modern Jazz sound? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the EQ01 makes it very versatile but how does it fare at something like a modern Jazz sound?[/quote] It's pretty hard to describe how the ACG's sound in my opinon they really are that versatile. The ability to blend between the pickups and use the filter pre-amp just gives you so much range. With the singlecoil pickups I'd be very suprised if you couldn't find the modern jazz tone, I can certainly find one in my Recurve be it a little wider due to the humbuckers. I'm sure Ed might be able to fill you in on that one sorry for butting in I was simply passing through still abit staggered this hasn't sold yet, every ACG I've played has been a very well finished instrument I'm bias of corse owning two but there are alot of un-bias people who agree. Good luck with the sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreeneKing Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 I'd just like to add my ten penneth to this for sale thread. Sometimes the world doesn't make a whole lot of sense. The reality is that the quality and performance inherent in Alan's (ACG) basses is immense. The fact that NYC Sadowsky's are selling for twice what this instrument is is plain crazy. Don't get me wrong I love Sadowsky's. Do yourselves a favour, read the reviews, get yourself over to Liverpool and try this bass (with Ed's agreement ). Oh and the RKS is an amazing bass too, another bargain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigthumb Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 This ain't sold? - Blimey. The only reason I didn't buy it was because it had one too many strings. It really is a cracking bass and I cant wait to get mine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

molan Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 I have to say that normally I have a real problem with single cuts, they just look 'wrong' to me somehow However this design looks like it just works somehow Do you know what the string spacing at the bridge is? Also - roughly how much does it weigh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
