This landed two weeks ago and due to a bout of ill health I'm just getting around to this post.  My humble apologies bass brethren, I throw myself to the mercy of the court.

 

p.s.  It's a cracker.

 

Rather than re-post Alan's pics please see the web page here:  https://acguitars.co.uk/project/0500slg4-32/

 

I did manage one pic at ead towers though:

Cool body shape. I can see elements of jazz master and thunderbird in there.

Good god man!

Have mercy!

I forgive you @ead because I’ve got wood.
 

Oh hang on, no …. You’ve got wood in a bass shape 

[Heathy]

Body shape reminds me of a Kubicki X Factor.

Wow...love the figuring on the body. 

 

No secret that Alan builds amazing instruments.

I think that deserves a 'Quite Nice' on the rating scale ead.

What scale length is it?

[cocco]

This is very cool. What's the story with the shape? Is it a one off or a first of its kind?

Yes, I would agree.  Quite nice is a fair judgement.

 

Scale length is 32".

I think there are quite a few knocking about that I remember seeing but I'm not sure of the full background to the body shape.  There maybe something on the ACG thread.

 

Just checked back.  The SLG was launched in 2020.
