    Please report on how loud it is when you can. I suspect it's got quite a bit of poke.

    Jings, this sounds great!

    Sorry mate, sale only I'm afraid.

    Really good to see. I appreciate he's been through it a bit, but hasn't helped himself either. He very much seems to have found his mojo more recently however, and he really love his little single cuts he's doing. What kinda single cut shape are you going for, a scaled up version of the little ones?

    Needs must sadly 🥺 I can say I'll never play anything but ACGs though. I don't have anything in 34" flavour but I may have a 31.5" Über 5er to move.

    Thank you matey!

    Thank you! Yes, flat fingerboards and asymmetrical necks. I should probably add that to the listing!...

    I am sadly selling several of my ACGs, needing to thin the heard a little. Here we have an immaculate ACG Krell SC E Type, a stunning example of ACG's work. This is a 6 string, tuned B to C, headless, set-neck construction. The scale length is 31.5" and the playability is incredible, the low B is musical and lacks nothing compared to long scale basses. As you will see from the design at the "head end", the strings are held in with grub screws so you can use any strings you want, you are not tied to double ball end strings. Official listing on the ACG site here >> https://acguitars.co.uk/project/0288krelletype6/ Here's a video of some noodles >> Specs as follows >> Top Wood: Fractal Birch Body Core: White Limba, 55mm thick and Chambered Accent: Purpleheart Body Finish: Satin Lacquer Neck: 3-piece Purpleheart/Wenge with asymmetrical profile Fingerboard: Mac Ebony with Pearwood fretlines at 1/3/5etc Purpleheart in the rest and flat/zero radius Scale: 31.5″ Neck Finish: Satin Lacquer Pickups: ACG FB pickups (stacked sidewinder style humbuckers, wired in parallel, hand wound by Aaron Armstrong) Hardware: ETS tuning/Bridge unit, ACG Headpiece, Dunlop Dual Design Straplocks La Bella RX Nickel Strings (30-130) Pre-amp: ACG DFM 4K (This is the full fat flagship ACG filter preamp) The bass comes with a top of the range Fusion F1 guitar sized gigbag, also in mint condition and a perfect fit. The bass is in perfect condition, never been gigged, home use only. Price is £2150 ono, no trades please. I am selling a fretted 6 string headless in another ad, and I would be willing to do a deal on these as a pair. Shipping at buyer's expense. Cheers, Eude

    I am sadly selling several of my ACGs, needing to thin the heard a little. Here we have an immaculate ACG Salace E Type. This is a 6 string, tuned B to C, headless, bolt-on construction. The scale length is 31.5" and the playability is incredible, the low B is musical and lacks nothing compared to long scale basses. As you will see from the design at the "head end", the strings are held in with grub screws so you can use any strings you want, you are not tied to double ball end strings. The bass is very lightweight for a 6er, I would guess just about 8 lbs. The design is super ergonomic both seated and standing, but without looking like one of those weird ergo basses Official listing on the ACG site here >> https://acguitars.co.uk/project/0211-salace-e-type-headless-6/ You can also here some sound samples here >> And finally, a video of some noodles here >> Specs as follows >> Top Wood: Flame Koa Back Wood: Mahogany Body Core: Spruce Accent Veneer: Black Body Finish: Satin Lacquer Neck: 3-piece American Ash with asymmetrical profile Fingerboard: Cocobolo with flat/zero radius Scale: 31.5″ Back Plate: Koa Neck Finish: Satin Laquer Pickups: 2 x ACG FB (stacked sidewinder style humbuckers, wired in series, hand wound by Aaron Armstrong) Hardware: ETS tuning unit and bridge, ACG Custom Headpiece, Dunlop Dual Design Straplocks, ACG/Newton Custom Nickel Strings (28-125TW), East Low Battery Indicator Pre-amp: East Uni-Pre 4K (3 band with adjustable mids, passive tone control and active/passive switching) The bass comes with a top of the range Fusion Urban guitar sized gigbag, also in mint condition and a perfect fit.

    That is very cool!

    I did kinda fancy this on paper, but I honestly think the Zoom MS-60B+ will spank this when it comes out June/July, for most applications anyway. It's nice that Line6 have done a bass specific product though, it's about time! I wonder what might come along in the future?...
  12. eude
    I spotted these the other day. Are you liking it a lot then? I tried the Tech21 Bass FlyRig 2 and it left me a bit cold, considering the price tag and the fact I love my BDDI it was weird. What are the amp Sims?
  13. eude
    That's awesome, will try and pop in in the near future. Thank you.
  14. eude
    There's a Yamaha shop in London?! Do they have any of the new Ampeg Venture stuff to play with?!
  15. eude
    Very nice dude!
  16. eude
    Ah, but will you go headless? What other specs you looking at? I assume you'll be speaking to Mr Shuker about this bass, so which of his designs have caught your eye?

    I just sold an ACG 6 string short scale bass to Russ, and he was an absolute pleasure to deal with. Great communication and an all round good egg. Thank you dude!

    As I recall, my old Shuker 6er had a 57mm nut, which I found a little on the large side. I've since had 50mm and 54mm nuts, and I think my preference would be more towards the 50mm, or somewhere inbetween, as I have fairly small hands.

    To be honest, I don't think this does anything bar making it easier to use a LONG scale string on their 33" scale basses. If the bass is designed, built and set up properly, which you hope it would be for Fodera money, anything beyond the nut is pointless. I do kinda dig how it looks though, but I appreciate it's a little funky looking
  20. eude
    Well executed break angles on a bass at the bridge and nut render the length of the string beyond the speaking length, i.e. beyond the nut and the bridge saddle, irrelevant, and is a big part of getting this stuff right on any scale length. It works so well on your Leduc as it's a really well designed and well built bass
  21. eude
    Very good point. I get custom wound Newtone Nickels, using slightly thicker than usual hex cores which is intended to help a 100 E feel more like a 105 on the same scale length. I have tried regular long scales on my basses too, and the only real complaint would be too much string on the tuning post.

    I play 31.5" basses exclusively, all ACGs. All my current basses have a low B (although I have a 4 on the way) and they are absolutely brilliant. As @bassist_lewis mentioned above, there are a lot of other factors that determine how good a low B sounds and feels, so if a luthier has figured out the secret sauce, it's possible to create a very musical low B on a shorter scale bass. Neck rigidity, how well the neck meets the body, break angles over the nut and bridge, string choice, all play a very big part, and I would argue, if you can get those right, the scale length has less of an impact. And, I actually went for lighter strings when I went shorter, which to my ear can counteract some of the more bassiness you can get when you go shorter. I used to play 34" basses, had a spell on 36", and then discovered 33" scale which I played for about 10 years I think. From there I moved to 31.5" and I am very happy where I am now. Anyone out there who thinks it can't work, I suggest you try it, you might like it Eude

    Very cool. Part of me hoped it might've been th now fabled SEQ and that you'd want to swap that out for something else... Been trying to get my hands on one for a while!
  24. eude
    What preamp is in it now @ead as it started out passive, seems to be some stacked knobage going on now?...
  25. eude
    That's brilliant my friend!
