SOLD :)
14/12: final price drop to £1275
 

November ‘24 update - back up for sale as I consider being sensible for the first time in a long time…

 

I am in the process of having a new ACG 5 string being built, and when that arrives in 2025 I’ll need at least one, if not both my existing 5 strings to make way.
 
Therefore both this and my gorgeous ACG Finn are up for sale. Ultimately I’m not 100% sure which bass I want to sell but I am sure at least one has to go. So I will let the market decide. If the ACG goes first, this stays, or if this goes first, the ACG stays. Or if someone wants a deal on both, we can sort something out!
 
This was commissioned in 2022, originally as a 4 string P shape but spec creep kicked in and Mike and I decided to go down the route of his first 5 string medium (32”) scale. It’s a beauty, and sits so well in the mix, almost like a P bass is the ideal instrument ;)

The neck is sublime and plays brilliantly, or at least for those with talent it does :D
 
Specs:

Idigbo body
3-piece maple neck with black stringers
Maple fingerboard
White body and matched headstock
Tort scratchplate
Aguilar AG5P-60CL pickup
Passive volume, tone, series/parallel switch
Badass bridge
Hipshot tuners
Schaller strap locks
 
I did a wicked thing and dented it on its first gig, which was the day I brought it home from Mike. I felt very silly. There’s another small mark on the back but other than that it’s in excellent condition.
 
Will be supplied with a gig bag, or possibly a Mono dual bass bag if sold with the ACG and is preferred.
 
Collection only, or could arrange a convenient place to meet within around 45-60 mins max from me. Bank transfer upon meeting is preferred method of payment. No trades for the reasons explained above.

Wee bump here for @Merton
This bass is magnificent.

Anyone out there that is keen on a 5 string P Bass, but prefers, or is drawn to a shorter scale, this medium scale beauty absolutely delivers.

It's an absolutely solid P Bass, which blends in the 5th string perfectly and in a nice comfortable package, with zero compromises.

 

Whoever snaps this up will be a lucky bassist, the wait for a new Zoot has become quite long these days, now that Mike has whipped up production again he's a busy busy man, and at this price it's a steal!

 

Cheers,

Eude

I'd very much love to hear how this sounds

Well forgive my utterly crap ham-fisted playing but here’s a little video I just made.

 

Starts in series mode, treble full on

2.52 switches to parallel

3.55 tone wound down

4.51 back into series mode

No slapping in sight, not any original ideas, good technique or clever fills
