For Sale - ACG Finn 5/32 Custom (medium scale) FINAL PRICE DROP £1295 £1500 Horley, Surrey

14/12 - final price drop to £1295
 

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 Zoot Funkmeister 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 Zoot goes first, this stays, or if this goes first, the Zoot stays. Or if someone wants a deal on both, we can sort something out!

 

This was commissioned in 2018 and arrived in 2019, on the back of learning a lot from a previous Finn 5 and Finn 4 commission, and was designed to be a clean hi fi  bass for a function band. It absolutely nails that brief, and the neck profile along with the smooth satin-esque polymer oil finish is a delight. It’s lightweight and easy to play and has led me to finally cave and create my “ultimate”  RetoB 5 spec with a holly top.

 

Specs:

5 string, 32” scale

2-piece swamp ash body

5-piece maple/bubinga neck

Acrylic impregnated maple board

4+1 headstock with maple veneer

ACG FB pickups

East Uni Pre 4K circuit with passive tone

It’s been cosseted its whole life, so is in pretty close to perfect nick. It does have a couple of natural imperfections in the woods which I mention for full disclosure, but they are natural rather than caused by me being a clumsy oaf. There is a small nick in the top of the bridge pickup cover too, which has been there since birth and in no way affects anything. I presume it was just a slightly dodgy moulding of the plastic case.

 

No gig bag included at this price coz it’s a bargain.

 

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.
