Merton Posted November 9 Share Posted November 9 (edited) 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” Finn 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 Hipshot A-type bridge with 16.5mm string spacing 45mm nut Gotoh resolite tuners Neutrik locking jack Schaller strap locks https://acguitars.co.uk/project/0343finn5/ 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. Will be supplied with a Fusion gig bag, or possibly a Mono dual bass bag if sold with the Zoot and 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. Edited November 9 by Merton Added photos with ownership proof 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
