ACG Finn SC 6 String £1650 South Croydon

[eude]

I'm moving on one of my ACG 6 string basses.

The one in, one out rule applies in my house sadly, so as much as I don't want to see it go, needs must.

 

It's a pretty special bass, 6 strings, singlecut bolt-on design, with a 31.5" scale length.

Even with the shorter scale, the whole thing is so well designed and made that the low B is solid, as useable and musical as most 34" and 35" basses in my opinion, but I will attach a couple of vids so you can hear it.

 

 

Here's the lowdown...

 

6 string, tuned B to C

31.5" scale
Bolt-on construction
24 frets
16.5mm string spacing
54mm nut width
STUNNING Highly Figured Black Limba Body
3 piece Wenge Neck, with Asymmetrical profile
Pau Ferro Fingerboard
ACG RFB pickup, humbucker, handmade by Aaron Armstrong with series/single coil/parallel switching, roughly in the MM Stingray location
East Uni-pre 4K preamp with passive tone control and active/passive switching
Hipshot A Type Bridge
Gotoh Resolite Tuners

String with Newtone Nickels, 28 40 60 80 100 125TW

The bass is absolutely mint, only issue to declare is the 12th fret, on the high C string has a little buzz, which you can hear in the second clip if you're really listening hard, so it could do with a little fret dress on that fret, but bar that, it's all good.

 

Looking for £1650 and it can come with a Hiscox Hardcase for an extra £50, otherwise it'll be in a TGI Extreme Gigbag.

More than happy to courier within the UK, with insurance, at buyer's cost.

 

Please check my feedback >> 

 

I'll leave this up for a couple of weeks, then I will move it to The Bass Gallery for a commission sale, but that will mean the price goes up, so if you're keen but can't quite stretch to it immediately, please get in touch, we might be able to work something out.

New, this bass would now cost over £2800, and well worth it at that too.

 

No trades thanks, I have other plans...

 

Any questions, you know where I am  

 

Cheers,

Eude

Lovely bass, shame I can’t cope with 16.5 spacing. GLWTS!

Thanks dude.

 

The Hipshot Type A bridge does give some adjustment, up to 1.5mm above the noted spacing, so you could push it wider...

As a cack-handed fool who can barely manage with 4 strings, this is the only 6 string bass I can vaguely play. It’s gorgeous and sounds immense. Someone will get a bargain.

Very nice.

Lovely. ACGs are so undervalued second hand.

Only need the one PUP with an ACG because they are so versatile.

Oh, and @eude is a top person to deal with so buy with confidence.

Alas I have burgers for hands and a limited brain so 4 strings is my limit.

Lovely sixer mate. Someone’s getting a bully bargain

Gorgeous bass.  Eude is a top banana so deal in confidence folks.

It seems to be irony that makes the world go round, sadly 🤷‍♂️

If you think circumstances might change in a short while, I can put it on hold for you dude.

I can weigh it later today, but I reckon it's about 9lbs, or there abouts.

For a 6er, it's not that heavy.

Will report back soon.

OK, I only have bathroom scales, so not super accurate, but definitely sub 10 lbs, I'd say between 9 and 9.5 lbs.

Bloody light considering the lumber involved.
