ead Posted Wednesday at 16:50 Share Posted Wednesday at 16:50 Another painful to me sale as this bass and I have played quite a few gigs together. I commissioned this from Alan in around 2015/16 and aside from a couple of years 'on extended loan' to another BCer I have been the only keeper of this lovely instrument. Very sad that general arthritis is taking its toll. Anyway, one of only P Types in the known universe, this is a lovely and very flexible beastie. Specs are here: https://acguitars.co.uk/project/0252-p-type-4/ Very portable too at only 3.6kgs (just under 8lbs). The East/ACG P Retro is massively flexible with active/passive switch and a tone control that works when the EQ is engaged. The bass comes with a decent gig bag. As always collection/meet up preferred, postage could be an option. Happy to answer any questions and thanks for stopping by. Here are the pics: 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dub_junkie Posted Wednesday at 18:50 Share Posted Wednesday at 18:50 Seen a few used ACGs around this price point and I was always trying to work out how I could buy them. Now that I own a couple of ACGs myself I think it's a bit of a shame that they're the prices they are (undervalued) but also that it's such a sweet spot price wise having them compete with offshore copies and the like. There's no comparison and an ACG at this money wipes the floor with most if not all. Just my tuppence worth. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grooverjr Posted Wednesday at 18:56 Share Posted Wednesday at 18:56 Ooh, I do love the ACG P pickup with the East Retro. I have the self same (as well as the 3 piece maple and Wenge neck - you're clearly a man of exquisite taste 😁). Restrained and classy-looking bass. I like a lot of Alan's more out-there woods but this is special. Surely this should go in an instant at this price. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the same myself - they regularly get listed between £800-£1500 which is a stupidly good price at either end of the scale. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigwan Posted Thursday at 09:26 Share Posted Thursday at 09:26 (edited) I have an ACG Finn 4 with same pickup/preamp. Amazingly good bass, as all Alan's creations are! Edited Thursday at 09:29 by Bigwan 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
