  1. [quote name='Mykesbass' timestamp='1496348516' post='3310794'] Carvin if you can find one. [/quote] Have they stopped making their little combos now?
  2. [quote name='Dan Dare' timestamp='1496343730' post='3310762'] There's a saying - "Compact/light, inexpensive, good sounding. Pick two". [/quote] Very true mate...
  3. [quote name='Jecklin' timestamp='1496335217' post='3310674'] Is this theoretically to take over from your Mibass set up? [/quote] Yup, it's a lovely setup, but I don't feel it does the full range of my 6 string quite the justice it deserves. I can hear a lot more through headphones via the amp, or when I've DI'd for recording too... Eude
  4. Any thoughts on the Markbass Ninja 2x10 combo? Eude
  5. [quote name='walbassist' timestamp='1496320685' post='3310474'] How about [url="http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Mark_Bass_121_Alain_Caron_Lite_combo.html"]this[/url]? [/quote] Oh, that's pretty much bang on! Eude
  6. [quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1496319429' post='3310454'] You can pick up a Trace Elliot for around £200-250 - does everything you'll ever need it to. [/quote] Ah, I should've added to the requirements that it should be reasonably compact and lightweight. I used to own a Trace combo years back, I loved it, but my back did not enjoy carrying it flights of stairs before and after I gigged it I'll edit my post now. Eude
  7. Hi hive mind! Just thinking out loud, but what compact combos are out there that offer real full range clarity, and giggable volume, without costing the earth? Thanks for your input! Eude
  8. [quote name='deksawyer' timestamp='1496318085' post='3310437'] On the subject of the neck carve on a single cut, my old ACG had this. Not sure if yours is similar. The build is looking impressive though. [/quote] I always thought that bass was particularly delicious even though it was the wrong way round Eude
  9. Buggerre, I'd be on this in a heart beat if I had the reddies available! Best of luck with the sale, but I don't imagine it'll be around long. Cheers, Eude
  10. And sold to [b]rockdog[/b]. Thank you for all your interest folks. Cheers, Eude
  11. [quote name='ead' timestamp='1495625942' post='3305366'] JFDI; easier to ask for forgiveness than permission. In evidence I can confirm that I'm still breathing, although now walking with a severe limp. [/quote] Ha ha! I once had "Señor Designer" printed on my work business cards, rather than "Senior Designer", my boss checked them and OK'd the print job. I got away with it too for about 3 months! Eude
  12. [quote name='Sibob' timestamp='1495565348' post='3304924'] I've played this and it sounded supreme!! Si [/quote] Thanks buddy! [quote name='skelf' timestamp='1495570082' post='3305004'] For what it is worth I really liked that one. [/quote] Yup, sad to see it go, but the rules must be respected Eude
  13. On hold.
  14. [quote name='ead' timestamp='1495522971' post='3304351'] This is a great bass and I can only imagine how much of a wrench it will be for young Mr Eude (who is a top banana btw for those who may not know him). [/quote] Thank you mate! I wonder if I can get "Top Banana" on my business cards! Eude
  15. [quote name='Skybone' timestamp='1495475980' post='3304051'] Beautiful bass, GLWTS [/quote] [quote name='scrumpymike' timestamp='1495481658' post='3304115'] That's a stunner! [/quote] Thanks guys! Eude
  16. [quote name='skb558' timestamp='1495475488' post='3304044'] That is another beauty from Alan. Do you have any sound samples? Keen to hear how the short scale sounds. [/quote] I recorded some a while back, but I can't find them, if I can't lay my hands on them I'll do some more. Patience Daniel Son, Focus Power... Eude
  17. [quote name='ikay' timestamp='1495474463' post='3304029'] Lovely. Could you explain the knobs and eq bit more please. Is it an East 3-band SPM-01 modular setup with internal freq selection? Does it have a pickup balance control or is it just a selector switch? What are the 4 pickup selector settings? Thanks [/quote] [quote name='ikay' timestamp='1495526827' post='3304392'] Sorry, just seen on the ACG website that the preamp is a P-Retro. The 4-way switch is presumably bridge / neck / series / parallel? [/quote] Yup, you've pretty much answered your own question here. It's a P-Retro, but it's tweaked a little to ACG's spec. The first stack is Volume/Tone, with a pull pot for bass boost (which you can set internally). Second stack is a very clever cut/boost control on top, with a frequency selector which allows you to select bass and treble, or mid frequencies, this also has a pull pot for treble boost (again settings can be altered internally). Third control is a 4 way selector - Neck, Neck and Bridge in Series (Ballsy as all hell), Neck and Bridge in Parallel (Articulate), and Bridge. Fourth control is a 2 way rotary switch to select active/passive. In passive mode you can still use the tone control. Cheers, Eude
  18. [quote name='Merton' timestamp='1495473368' post='3304013'] This is a superb bass, and a damn fine bargain [/quote] Thanks mate!
  19. [quote name='rockdog' timestamp='1495468837' post='3303954'] Wow, lovely - what is the weight please? [/quote] OK mate, it's sitting just over 7.5 lbs on my bathroom scales. They won't be bang on accurate, but its definitely sub 8 lbs. Eude
  20. [quote name='Bass_Guardian' timestamp='1495461418' post='3303896'] Stunning! GLWTS [/quote] Thank you buddy
  21. [quote name='rockdog' timestamp='1495468837' post='3303954'] Wow, lovely - what is the weight please? [/quote] Thanks mate! Its definitely sub 8 lbs. I'll weigh it tonight. Cheers, Eude
  22. [b]SOLD.[/b] It's with a heavy heart that I'm putting my ACG Recurve 4 string up for sale. I have a baby on the way in July and a new ACG 6 string fretless following afterwards, so the one in - one out policy is going to have to be respected more so than ever, for basses at least! Here's the bass on Alan's site >> [url="http://archive.acguitars.co.uk/portfolio/0204-recurve-4-short-scale/"]http://archive.acgui...-4-short-scale/[/url] The bass is a nice mix of ACG's modern, considered design and fancy wood specs, with a more traditional yet extremely flexible electronics set up. It has a 31.5" scale, which makes for an extremely playable and comfortable instrument without any shortcomings whatsoever. [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]ACG Recurve DC 4 String Custom[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]31.5” scale[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Black Limba body with Kingwood top[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Ash/Wenge/Ash neck with flat Wenge fingerboard[/font][/color] [font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][color=#282828]Asymmetrical[/color][/font][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] neck profile[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Super comfy 36mm nut width[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]ACG B Series PB (split coil) pickup at the neck/mid position, OSB (overwound single coil) pickup at the bridge[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Custom ACG/East Preamp with 4 way rotary pickup selector switch and active/passive rotary switch[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Hipshot Type B bridge with 19mm spacing[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Gotoh GB720 tuners[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Currently fitted with Newtone strings (will ship with a set of D'Addario [/font][/color]EXL160M Nickels) It comes with a £150 worth of Fusion F1 Hybrid Gigbag And here's some lovely pics... Looking for £1100 ono, absolutely no trades please. Any questions, you know where to find me! Forgot to add, the bass is in South London, willing to ship at buyer's expense. Eude
  23. I've had plenty 33" basses with amazing B strings, better than some 35" and 36" basses I tried a while back. I also have a 31.5" 6 string, and it works just fine too! Like the OP, I think it's more to do with the neck and construction. Not trying to sound snobby, but a modern, high end, hand made bass can pretty much achieve anything you would want within reason. I've also found that pickup location can make a difference too, popping the pickup somewhere that can naturally produce more mids, especially low mids will really help with your low B too. Cheers, Eude
  24. [quote name='GILLY' timestamp='1494356807' post='3295336'] Indeed it is. 14kg of low frequency goodness. God knows how they manage to get a 15" speaker into such a small enclosure. [/quote] Nice one dude. That cab is very much on 'my list'... Eude
  25. [quote name='GILLY' timestamp='1494135517' post='3293460'] Another advocate for TKS here, although mine is a 1x15. It's the size and weight of a 1x12 with the kick and presence of a 4x10. In fact, when it arrived I thought I had been sent the wrong cab because it is so compact. The great thing about this cab is the dispersion of sound, even if you are standing very close. [/quote] Which model do you have, is it the new H115? Cheers, Eude
