ACG J-Type 5 String. £1150 Swindon

ACG J-Type 5

 

So the dreaded Carpel Tunnel syndrome appears to have got the better of me and I’ve had to reluctantly admit that a full scale bass is becoming just too painful to play for any length of time. As a consequence I’m devastated to have to offer my wonderful ACG J-Type 5 string bass up for sale.

It is pretty much unmarked apart from 1 slight mark on the body near the upper horn which is only visible if you hold it up to the light at a certain angle.

It’s strung with relatively recent Ernie Ball Cobalt flats, 45-130 and combined with the John East Uni Pre 4K circuit there’s a plethora of usable tones available.

I bought it off here in 2021 and discovered there was a problem with the pre-amp cutting out so for peace of mind I bought a new Uni - Pre 4K from John East and has been perfect ever since.

Specs Below….

Body Wood: Swamp Ash

I will provide a splendid plush leatherette gig bag and would be happy to deliver or meet half way within reason but would prefer the potential buyer to collect from Swindon where it can be viewed and tried out.

I could be temped for a trade with something medium scale but would prefer a straight sale as I have my eye on @merton’s medium scale ACG 😉

Price is £1150

If this had a maple fretboard and a dark scratchplate I'd be all over it. My wallet lives to fight another day ☺️
