[quote name='CamdenRob' timestamp='1431593103' post='2772835'] It looks awesome... you'll have to do an NBD thread when it arrives and make us all jealous [/quote] That might be a mistake, I imagine the majority of us are already nearly jealous enough to intercept the pick up... Eude

[quote name='Byo' timestamp='1431568150' post='2772706'] Agree with you Si. Both shape and pups are just wrong... Maybe with a SR body and some traditional looking pups (i.e. 5 string jazz bass singles size) they would have nailed it. Better luck next time Ibanez... [/quote] Yup, the general consensus, here and on Talkbass is that they've missed the mark a little on this one. You never know, they might give it another go based on feedback.

[quote name='Cameronj279' timestamp='1431541365' post='2772446'] Picking this up on Friday. Excited doesn't cut it. [/quote] Wonderful news mate! Friday can't come fast enough I'll bet...

[quote name='mrn1989' timestamp='1431352081' post='2770313'] I believe you can specify whatever you want, they are made to order I was offered a maple neck with block inlays but chose the rosewood with dots [/quote] Cool! [quote name='Me And My Bass' timestamp='1431352497' post='2770324'] Do they have more examples of there page? Whats the site? [/quote] +1

So what kind of options did you have when you ordered this bar the logo?

Lovely bass mate, congrats!

[quote name='FuNkShUi' timestamp='1430302470' post='2759958'] That is unbelievable! I love it!!! Oh crap, how much are ACGs? [/quote] Much better value than you'd expect, that's for sure! Oh, and Ms Undead, if you're in the London area and can make it to South Croydon, you're more than welcome to try my ACGs out. Eude

Hey there, that's great news Lots of good advice above, not much to offer here bar reinforcing how light the alder ACG use can be, you'll easily hit your target weight. Are you going for a 34" scale bass, as I know you've flirted with shorter scales over the years... I play 33" 5 string basses and I love the playability without any noticeable sacrifices when held up against 34" basses. I'm actually having a 31.5" 4 string bass built right now too, for even more playability As far as finishes go, I would go for a natural fancy wood rather than the grunge black, your choice of flamed maple with a black pickguard tips the hat nicely at a more classic bass while putting out that cool custom vibe I've had quite an experience of ACG basses and have been bugging Alan routinely for quite a long time, feel free to shoot me a PM if I can be of any help. Eude

These ones are 35" >> http://www.espguitars.com/products?categories=f-series-2 A bit too metal though? Eude

Fantastic Si, that's a hell of a good looking bass. Congrats mate Eude

I think if they'd made a 33" SR bass they'd have been on to a winner here. Folks tend to look to the Soundgear range as a nice full scale yet compact solution, so a 33" would've been real nice and the shorter scale would've balanced well with the shape.

Oh dear, and here was me pretty happy with my lot for now. Eude

Or how about a 6x6"

I reckon you could get away with any Warwick to be honest, although Thumbs do cut through anything and everything VERY nicely. The only problem, at least for me with the Thumbs is the reach, if you're tall enough, or are happy to wear the bass low, they're brilliant though. There's a few for sale right now on the forum too, unfortunately you just missed a bargain price on a Dirty Blonde There's always this though, doesn't get more metal >> http://basschat.co.uk/topic/257336-warwick-vampyre-sn-4-price-drop-l850-ovno-shipped/page__p__2751447 Eude

What about one of those Crazy 8 cabs?... http://greenboyaudio.com/cabdetail?model=Crazy8 Trick Audio, here in the UK make them from £375 up. Eude

Hoots mon! That's lovely! Where/How are you building this beaut?

Just Wow!

You on a Shuker build course, building a 5 string P Bass, with blocks?...

Nice one, as I thought. I'm currently using two 1x10 cabs, and I miss the low end of a 12" speaker a bit...

Cool! Be interested to hear how the two cabs compare with the different drivers Congrats on a very cool rig! Eude

This might be of interest... http://finnbass.com/showthread.php?t=10670

Sold a Zoom B3 to Andy, great guy to deal with, smooth and easy transaction. Thank you Eude

Status make 6 string flatwound sets >> http://www.status-graphite.com. Have heard good things about LeBella flats, but like Chris, I'm really not sure where you can get them here in the UK. The Thomastik ones are wonderful, but the low low tension might not be something you'll get on with and they are hellishly expensive >> http://www.thomann.de/gb/thomastik_jf_346.htm Eude
