NBD: ACG Graft 5

Picked up a new Graft 5 in the Frostbite finish today directly from Alan at ACG HQ.

 

Absolutely loved it from the moment  I pulled it out the very nice gig bag. Acoustically felt and played just right and plugged in I was taken aback at the wide spread of tones from a passive bass. Bridge pickup can honk with the best of them and it does the hollow two pickup slap tone supremely well too. Can't wait to start using it with the band!

 

Also had a look at some Retro B Standards with coloured figured tops and East preamps. They were superb and something I will be investigating further. 

 

Picking up a used Krell 4 string turned me onto the brand. Glad it did 😍

Given this forum is the main one other than sales. An ACG thread would be justified.

 

Here's a good one.  Plenty of player commentary too:

There’s currently an identical model on the ACG website that I keep staring at (serial number 046G).I find radiused fretboards on electric bass utterly pointless given that they're not played with bows so it's great to see a builder like Alan offer flat boards in that respect. Thanks Mr Fender 😂 Anyway I'm pleased you're enjoying yours. The fussy man that I am would prefer a natural finish but the blue does look good 👍

Hi

 

Some natural Black Limba Grafts are on their way. 
 

And the Standard Series are about to be launched. Will feature natural and coloured finishes. 

Any news on the spec on the Standard Series at this time?

These Standard series basses are going to cause my bank balance even more trouble than ACGs already do I think 😄

I will not look at the new website, I will not look at the new website, I will not look at the new website. Who am I kidding? Of course I will look at the new website😁
