Basilpea Posted September 24 Share Posted September 24 Selling my beautifully crafted ACG Mule as unfortunately the writing is on the wall for me now due to serious illness and the wife will have more use for cash than another bass guitar. 5-string short scale fretless basses are rare, but if it happens to be your thing this is an absolute gem, as are all Alan’s exquisitely made basses. I bought it from Alan in June 2023 and it has been carefully looked after since, it’s pretty unique so difficult to price - I think £1500 sounds fair to seller and buyer but the market will decide. I’m in Epsom Surrey UK, if you are local enough and want to try it you are welcome; if sold I can post to UK or meet within 75 miles of London. Pickups: Piezo Hardware: Hipshot Type A with Graphtech saddles 18mm spacing, Gotoh GB350 Resolite tuners, Dunlop Straplocks, Pre-amp: Custom East P-Retro. Neck Wood: 5 piece Maple/Mahogany Finger Board: Ebony Scale: 30.5″ Neck Finish: Satin Lacquer Top Wood: Turkish Walnut Veneer: Black Body Wood: Chambered White Limba Body Finish: Satin Lacquer 10 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ezbass Posted September 24 Share Posted September 24 This post makes me sad. I met the OP a few years ago, when he tried out my Rob Allen MB2; lovely chap. Sad news indeed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc S Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 Lovely bass. As you say, there aren't many short scale, 5 string fretless basses around. Moreover, really really sorry to hear your sad news. Hope this sells for a good price. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnboybassman Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 I met Alan ACG at the guitar show this year - beautiful instruments made by an absolute gentlemen - his workmanship/craftmanship is off the scale - I really love the mule shape and hope to own a 4 string fretted one day. Sorry to hear about your personal circumstances - all the best to you. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart1982 Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 Sorry to hear about your circumstances. Good luck with the sale. ACG instruments are extremely special and Alan who makes them is a true master luthier and gentleman. This ACG Mule is gorgeous. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreeneKing Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 Sad news. All the very best. I've just had a scare or two and it certainly focusses the mind. ACG, superb basses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
