[quote name='Truckstop' timestamp='1459776705' post='3019465'] Love the lack of string retainer on the Tchib headstock. Looks super clean and very sexy. Love it! [/quote] Ah, it's very clever, it's actually an angled headstock, which does away with the need for the retainer and yes, it's super clean and sexy Eude

Bumparoo!

Thanks guys. To me, the Tchib is more of a 'Superstrat' and the Skelf more of a chunky rock guitar. I may well tune one to B standard for some serious metal riffage though Glad you like the guitars! Eude

[quote name='kbuschmann' timestamp='1459095838' post='3013504'] What's the nut width and string spacing at the bridge? k.. [/quote] Hey mate, the nut width is 45mm and the spacing at the bridge is 18mm, standard ACG setup, very comfortable on a 5er. Cheers, Eude

Hey guys, up for sale is my ACG Finn SC fretless 5 string. It’s no secret that I’m a massive ACG fan, I’m only selling this to fund a new more suitable build (shorter scale and with more strings), so absolutely no trades please :-) This bass is absolutely beautiful with a sound to match. It has a 33” scale which makes it easier to play than a 34” and brings a nice sweetness to the upper register, without sacrificing any tension on a the low B as the thing is so bloody well made! It's a set neck and has a lovely carved heel providing great access to all the notes at the dusty end. The body is deeper than normal, 50mm, however it’s chambered which I believe really adds some warm and presence particularly suited to a fretless bass. Here’s some sound samples >> [url="https://soundcloud.com/eudeboy/sets/acg-finn-sc-classic-fretless-samples"]https://soundcloud.c...retless-samples[/url] - apologies for the playing... The bass has ACG's EQ03 filter preamp, it's a veritable swiss army knife, allowing you to really dial in on that perfect fretless tone. It has two low filters, one per pickup which lets you set up the bass for two extremely different sounds, or blend the two for a really complex and detailed tone. You can read more about ACG's filter preamps here >> [url="http://www.acguitars.co.uk/acg_admin/wordpress/basses/electronics/"]http://www.acguitars...es/electronics/[/url] and you can download the PDF instructions for the preamp here >> [url="http://www.acguitars.co.uk/acg_admin/wordpress/pdf/ACG_EQ03.pdf"]http://www.acguitars...df/ACG_EQ03.pdf[/url] In simple terms the preamp takes the best of Wal and Alembic filter preamps and really delivers a useful and powerful way to discover great tones. It's currently strung with DR Sunbeams, but I have some Fender flats cut to length which I can include or fit instead. The bass is pretty much mint, it has been played a fair bit but has never been gigged. There’s some marking on the fingerboard from playing with round wounds (basses are made to be played though), however I’ll give the fingerboard a nice oiling before it goes out. Here’s the specs >> Top: Tasmanian Burl Myrtle Accent: 4mm Sycamore Body: American Cherry Chambered Neck: 5 Piece Maple/Bubinga with gently rounded asymmetrical profile Fingerboard: Ebony with Maple fret lines and zero (flat) radius Scale: 33” Pickups: 2 ACG Overwound Single Coils Preamp: ACG EQ03 4K Filter with low battery indicator Hardware: Hipshot A Type Bridge and Gotoh Resolite Tuners (Black) Weight: 9.15lbs (4.15kg) Price includes a Hiscox hardcase, but I can supply a Fusion F1 gigbag for an additional £50, and won’t ship without one or the other. Shipping to UK only, at this stage, at buyers cost, but will consider shipping overseas. [b]Price: £1300 - again, no trades please![/b] UPDATE with some pics >> You can see more piccies on ACG's website >> [url="http://www.acguitars.co.uk/acg_admin/wordpress/portfolio/0125-finn-sc-classic-fretless-5-string/"]http://www.acguitars...tless-5-string/[/url] Any questions, requests etcs, let me know!

[quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1455878569' post='2983169'] They look fantastic! How do they manage it with the prices they charge?! Or is it that we are used to overinflated prices.... [/quote] I expect their overheads are smaller than some folks making similar instruments in other countries, for now at least, but I also think that some production line assembled basses, won't name names here, charge WAY too much for their instruments, but get away with it, so keep it going. I personally could never justify spending more money on something like that when you could have a bass custom made by hand for less! Eude

6-String Basses | Modulus | Roscoe | Spector | Warwick - Comparison

[quote name='CamdenRob' timestamp='1455611994' post='2980584'] This thread is giving me inappropriate thoughts about buying another Warwick.... [/quote] That's a though that's never far from my mind, but I'll need arm extensions first, to really enjoy a Thumb Bass :-( Eude -
6-String Basses | Modulus | Roscoe | Spector | Warwick - Comparison
eude replied to AngelDust's topic in Bass Guitars
[quote name='dmccombe7' timestamp='1455462394' post='2979273'] Modulus had a more even tonal range but the Warwick just sounded better to me. Would take either tho. Roscoe and the Specter just didn't do it for me at all. Dave [/quote] I know what you mean about the Warwick not being as even, however, the two different registers had the perfect voice for each section in the song. You want your lower end to be fat, warm and punchy, and your upper noodley bots to be sweet and clear. I think the two voices make the Warwick all the better Eude -
[quote name='elephantgrey' timestamp='1455529495' post='2979792'] I don't like the titled body on the elwood, but now I'm definitely going to look into asking about a 6 string Jake now when I get the cash together though. [/quote] I really like the Jazzus, I reckon this would look great as a 6 string >> Eude

[quote name='elephantgrey' timestamp='1455485033' post='2979568'] I wish they made jake 6 strings.

Like Skelf mentioned, string technology, has come a long way, as has luthier's knowledge and ability to build to a specific requirement, in my opinion. These advances have really made almost anything possible. I'm very lucky to own a couple of 31.5" scale ACG basses, one of which is a 6 string headless tuned B to C! The low B is tight and punchy and the upper register has a real sweetness and fuller sound that you can only get with a shorter scale. It's very easy to play, reasonably lightweight for a 6 string bass and fits in a guitar gigbag! It's the best of both worlds. The build quality and custom string set make this kind of bass possible, and it really makes me wonder whether it's worth even persevering with the whole 34" or even 35" scale is best for bass argument. You can hear a few sound samples of the bass in question here >> https://soundcloud.com/eudeboy/sets/acg-salace-sc-e-type-samples I'm now currently plotting a 6 string headless fretless in 31.5" to match Eude

Fantastic news mate! Your family are a nice bunch I'll be watching this build closely. Eude
