Is it bad I'm trying to imagine that with 2 pickups and 6 strings?... Eude

Hot Damn @Andyjr1515, you've done it again! I love that design! Eude

That is stunng,!

Back in the late 90s/early 00s, I used to rehearse in a place that provided Ampeg gear, SVT 2 on an 8x10 fridge usually, and the amps never made it through a full rehearsal with me, not once, put me off Ampeg gear for life. Eventually they bought in an Ashdown ABM head for me to use and it took everything I threw at it and wanted more. Been an Ashdown fan ever since. Most rehearsal studios I've used more recently have had pretty recent Peavey gear, and it's been OK. Nothing like the Peavey of old, but pretty serviceable. Eude

That truly is the worst, but man alive it's SO good when it arrives! How soon will it arrive? Eude

That is lovely, congratulations! Eude

That is gorgeous buddy, you must be well chuffed! Are those knobs different from th usual ACG ones? Eude

Ooooh Yeah!

OK, here's my 31.5" gang! I should really get some better photos done, details etcs. Eude

Are we allowed to share 31.5" basses here, or are they technically too short? Not really sure where they sit, I always describe them as shot(er) scale... Eude

Ah, my ol' Shuker. My first custom bass! I do miss it sometimes, be sure to treat her well buddy Eude

Thank you very much for sharing. Yeah, as close as I got to pulling the trigger on a multi effects, I found myself looking out problems and complaints about digital sounds, not helped by woeful and completely gutless demos all over YouTube, but your little video definitely tilts things back the other way! Eude

That sounds EPIC! What settings are you using, and I assume you're kicking in an Octaver for the extra heavy tone? Typically, I've literally just thrown out the idea of multieffects and started building a bloody board with analog pedals... Eude

Oh dear, we may both be in trouble then...

Wonderful, thank you! And, yes apologies for the derailment, my bad... Eude

Ooooh. What's the specs?... Eude

That's all very exciting, greta work mate!

If you fancy a 5 string, have a look at this... https://www.facebook.com/groups/BassPlayersMarketUK/permalink/2346532325358382/?sale_post_id=2346532325358382 No link to the seller, just seems a bargain. Eude

Nice, Aaron is a bit of a genius isn't he! All my ACG basses have Aaron's pickups in them, wound to ACG specs, although I have had them fine tuned a little, usually just overwound for a bit more guts and a little less treble. Eude

That is bloody gorgeous @Andyjr1515! Forgive me if the details are in an older post, but what's the spec on the pickup? Eude

Oak on the right? I've always wondered how Oak would perform in bass construction...

I think the "broad" bit of the Broadneck basses was more determined by the string spacing at the bridge, 19mm or maybe even 20mm? I played a Thumb Bass 5er for years and I really like 16.5mm spacing on my 6s, just feels like home. I go for 18mm on 4s and 5s though... Eude

Ah, well if there's not enough wood, it's obviously not possible. Are you going by the usual Warwick 'Broadneck" specs, which would mean 47mm at the nut? All my 6ers have 54mm width nuts, but a little narrower isn't a bad thing, but I reckon 47mm would be too narrow... Also, headless 6ers rule, I've got two Eude

ACGs don't smell like 'pre-loved' basses too, which has to be a good thing A friend of mine bought a 70's tele, a guitar he'd dreamed of owning for 2 decades, bought it without seeing it in the flesh, it arrived, looked, played and sounded amazing, but it stank to high heaven of cigarettes. No amount of airing, or anything else would get rid of it, perhaps a total refinish, but then it would've lost it's 'mojo'. He sold it on, made a slight profit and made a bitsa tele with an 80's body and a 90's neck from ebay, gave it a bit of a kicking and he now has something that looks the part, sounds just as good, possibly better and doesn't stink. I was considering getting a YOB around my 40th last year, but his story very much changed my mind. My ACGs look, play and smell better than any 'old' bass Eude
