    [quote name='ezbass' timestamp='1477597795' post='3163302'] Ta dah! [url="http://s308.photobucket.com/user/ezbass/media/988922B9-A82D-4C89-BBFF-EBBC27BCC17B_zpsdqapy9ar.jpg.html"][/url] [/quote] Have to say, one of those in medium scale is making its way up my GAS list... Eude

    [quote name='mcnach' timestamp='1476550380' post='3155159'] yeah that could be an explanation The logical conclusion is he didn't like the BF ones enough after all. [/quote] I think it's more likely that the super heavy Ampeg stuff is just more suited to touring, in fact its probably more suited to touring than most gear out there. The BF stuff is famed for their lightweight, which isn't usually something that goes well with nightly abuse from roadies. He's also used the Ampeg stuff a lot for a long long time, so I expect it's a known entity. I'm sure we'll see the BF stuff again. Eude

    [quote name='mcnach' timestamp='1476460506' post='3154566'] I think this is the Wakrat rig, and the BF were used on Prophets of Rage... but I don't know why he'd use different cabs on each. I was surprised too. Has he gone back to Ampeg already? [/quote] I think the ruggedness of the Ampeg gear is why it's in the mix. As much as the Barefaced stuff likely sounds a lot better, there's not many cabs as well built as those old Ampeg units, and they are UNITS! Eude

    And we're off...

    Wow, that's pretty awesome and a nice result for Ashdown! Are the regular drivers just as good as these 700w albeit without the same power handling? Eude

    This has also given me some pretty serious unexpected Musicman GAS too.

    [quote name='bartelby' timestamp='1476425681' post='3154108'] Yeah, Sum of it's parts adding up to a whole lot less... [/quote] I agree to some extent, but I'd rather have them doing it than nothing at all, plus they have a pretty strong message behind it all too.

    [quote name='jazzmanb' timestamp='1476366164' post='3153681'] Made all the other Tims out there almost cool [/quote] I do know one other Tim who is properly cool too, although he's called Timmy D. I see a pattern...

    How does the 'amount' of sound compare to your MarkBass and Barefaced setup? As room filling, or a bit more middley/boxy sounding? Cheers, Eude

    Yup, very nice to see a bass only rundown. Timmy C is one of my all time bass heroes, and I'n chuffed to see him back on Musicman basses, his tone on the early RATM stuff is just the best! I love his tone now too, very very different though. Eude

    [quote name='Romeo2' timestamp='1476307940' post='3153298'] he does talk about why/how he got back into stingray after years of Fender and then Lakland [/quote] Was it anything to do with 'Free Stuff'?

    Have to say these cabs intrigue me massively too! I've been told the 1x10 version put out as much bass as the 1x12, but just doesn't go quite as loud, I guess worth trade off for some to have smaller and slightly lighter cab. Looking forward to hearing your review, but I'm going to have to get a shot of one of these soon... Eude

    [quote name='MacDaddy' timestamp='1476093016' post='3151094'] yup eagerly waiting for the 'anger' review. [/quote] Me too, I hope it's quite furious!
  14. eude
    Have to say I'm extremely interested in one of these. I'd like to see a bit more in the preamp, even just the addition of low mid and high mid, but I guess you can drive it with a preamp pedal like you do. Currently using two compact 1x10 cabs, I find I'm missing a bit of thick effortless low end, does the single 12" really kick out a nice bit of oomph? Looking forward to hear how you get on with it in anger! Eude

    Yup, I've never tuned in anything but B to G. As it happens, I have had Dunlops too, which were fine length wise, although I found them a bit too floppy on the shorter scale, I imagine they're lovely on a regular bass though. Cheers, Ewan

    Hmmm. Well if you're allowing 2 inches of string beyond the post, before bending and poking it in the tuner, you won't struggle with any of the brands I noted above dude. Eude
  17. eude
    Oh, also, medium scale strings wo't necessarily work, as 33" is longer than what's considered medium by the bass industry, which is 32". Seriously, I've never had an issue with long scale strings on a 33" bass. Eude
  18. eude
    Wow, those must be some super-long strings! Are you leaving 2 inches of string after the post, before you bend it to create the bit to poke into the tuner? I've never ever come across this in nearly 10 years of playing 33" basses! If this is a brand specific problem, here's the strings I've used over those years with no issues whatsoever >> Rotosound D'Addario DR Picato Elixir Fender Newtone (non custom length ones) Cheers, Eude

    I've been playing 33" basses for a long ol' time now and I've not really run into problems with any strings manufacturer I've tried. The only issue you can get is the taper starting a bit late, which can look a bit odd, but shouldn't effect how the string plays or sounds as that's determined by the bridge and nut. As mentioned above, Newtone will wind you custom strings in any length and gauge. All they'll need is the measurement from where the string anchors on your bass at the bridge to the nut. They do make lovely strings too Eude

    [quote name='cgg199' timestamp='1474018857' post='3134933'] Rather than one continuously variable tone pot, it is a five-way selector with presets for the tone. I believe there is an individual capacitor for each setting. It basically just makes the tone control more useable rather it being on, off or somewhere in middle. Hope that helps [/quote] Perfect, thanks mate! Sounds like a pretty useful setup, and without batteries! Eude
  21. eude
    Lovely bass mate, congratulations! Can you give us more info on the THD circuit?... Cheers, Eude
  22. eude
    I'm in again! I've got another ACG on the books. This one is a 6 string fretless Krell SC A Type, short(er) scale at 31.5". Chambered White Limba body with a 'Fractal Birch' top and Purpleheart accent. Wenge/Purpleheart/Wenge set neck. Lined figured Ebony fingerboard. 2 X RFB pickups and an ACG DFM filter preamp. I should get a build thread up soon. Cheers, Ewan

    I'll be joining club again soon. More to follow... Eude

    And.... SOLD! Thank you [b]BassNL.[/b]

    [quote name='BassNL' timestamp='1473098535' post='3126929'] You will all be so sorry you did not get this. It is among the best fretless basses that Alan from ACG has ever built, if not the best full stop. Which is saying something, as the bar is high with ACG fretless basses. I was assuming it had long since been sold, but you missed it! Rest assured this is going to a good home. And it will not come up for sale again, not in my lifetime. My precioussssss...... [/quote] Ha ha, it'll be on its way soon dude, no need to wander around till you find Mount Doom, I'll just pop it in the post Eude
