That is stunning dude. Aren't these shorter 6s just amazing! Enjoy the bass 😎 -
Yes indeed, I thoroughly enjoy messing around with it on mine.

This is a cracking bass, at an awesome price, and @Merton is a top bloke. Thoroughly recommended. -
You can pop round whenever @Merton.

Another vote for LFSys here. I swapped two Barefaced One10s for a single LFSys Monza, the 1x10 cab, and it absolutely spanks them in my opinion. As you brought up, the One10s are too vintagey voiced in my opinion, but they don't pretend to be anything else so that's fair enough. If you want an open and accurate cab, with bags of power, I'd definitely check out a Monza.

Little bump, still happy to hear offers on this. Life has very much made it tough to get this off for a commission sale, so if you're on the fence, let's chat, I'm sure we can figure something out. Also, currently without a bag or case for this now, but I will pick something up when it sells, something half decent like this Gear4Music effort >> https://www.gear4music.com/Guitar-and-Bass/G4M-Bass-Guitar-Case-Black/5A8S

I'm downsizing my collection a bit, so up for grabs is my incredible Über Spec Finn 5 string by AC Guitars. This is the highest spec that ACG offer, with the most premium woods, the multicoil pickups and the full fat DFM filter preamp, with a passive tone knob. As with all my basses, this is 31.5" scale, which makes playing absolutely effortless, and due to the sound design and construction, there are literally nothing but benefits to the shorter scale. Here's the details... Spec Level: Über 31.5" scale Bolt-on construction 24 frets 18mm string spacing 45mm nut width Katalox Top Cuban Mahogany Body Black Accent Veneer 5 piece Red Oak/Wenge Neck, with slim asymmetric carve Highly figured Pau Ferro Fingerboard with Sapwood, wit 0º radius, i.e. flat ACG MC pickups, Multicoils, handmade by Aaron Armstrong ACG DFM filter preamp with passive tone control and active/passive switching ACG/Hipshot Custom Bridge Gotoh Resolute Tuners Currently strung with fairly heavy Nickel D'Addario XLs, but it really shines with lighter gauge Newtone Nickels, something like 40 60 80 125TW, I might have a set kicking around to pop on. I don't know the exact weight, as I don't have proper means to measure it properly, but I'd say it's a medium weight bass, maybe 8.5 lbs or thereabouts? Certainly doesn't feel heavy. This really is an incredible instrument, but I'm ultimately more of a 6 string bassist first, then 4 strings, then 5 - I know, weird. A bass built to this spec today would cost the best part of £4000, and worth every single penny. This Finn is absolutely mint, not a mark on it, never been gigged, barely even left the house. Looking for roughly £2000, ono, with a TGI Extreme Gigbag. More than happy to courier within the UK, with insurance, at buyer's cost, I'd guess this would be about £30 based on previous experience. No trades thank you, sale only. Cheers, Eude More pics...

Awesome to hear matey, how big was the venue?

Only echoing what @binky_bass has said, you certainly won't be disappointed with any of Alan's pickups, MC or B Series. I would also agree that if the 17mm spacing is what set you on the custom path in the first place, don't deviate, as you could end up with the perfect bass with one annoying niggle that would be a deal breaker. Alan's pickups are hand wound by Aaron Armstrong, to order, so you could engage a discussion about what's possible with him, or via Alan? I fell that the RFB pickups would be closer in sound to the MC pickups, purely just because of how the coils are arranged, side by side like a Musicman Stingray pickup, and you could have them under wound to focus on clarity rather than punch? The FB pickups are a stacked humbucker, sidewinder arrangement, and to my ear, they are like a more focussed, thicker Jazz Bass tone, and hum cancelling too. Depends what you are used to and what you really want to hear?
