[quote name='kurcatovium' timestamp='1362583127' post='2001679'] Do you know approx. price tag on this one? I'm afraid it will be out of my limited budget... [/quote] Best email Alan here >> http://www.acguitars.co.uk/Contact/ Or drop him a PM on here, his user name is [b]Skelf[/b] I think you'll be pleasantly surprised Eude

[quote name='andydye' timestamp='1362581541' post='2001645'] Youtube? link please...always nice to see Alan's creations getting a work out! [/quote] Here you go... http://youtu.be/kV6mH7lj9x4?t=5m19s

[quote name='mcruiz67' timestamp='1362580875' post='2001629'] ACG vote!! Fretless at the show was responsive, light, looks great. Hmmmmm I might have it!! [/quote] I saw a video of you absolutely blazing on that thing mate, amazing Eude

[quote name='ead' timestamp='1362385906' post='1999085'] Check out ACG on here too (affiliates section). Alan does some stunning s/cut basses. [url="http://www.acguitars.co.uk/Gallery/"]http://www.acguitars.co.uk/Gallery/[/url] [/quote] +1,000,000 [quote name='ead' timestamp='1362556920' post='2001129'] How about this, in stock now so none of the agonising waiting [url="http://www.acguitars.co.uk/Available/46/"]http://www.acguitars...k/Available/46/[/url] [/quote] I had the pleasure of trying this bass out on Saturday at the London Bass Show, it was absolutely amazing! Compact, versatile and lightweight with a wonderful tone and incredibly flexible preamp. If you're in the market for a fretless singlecut 5 string, I really don't think you could do much better! Eude

I used to own a 5 string Bolt-on, the neck dive wasn't SO bad, but it was very heavy, I think the heavier the body, the less chance of neck dive, mine did a little in comparison to basses I've owned since, but at the time it didn't bother me at all, what did bug me though was the reach to 1st position. I'm just a little guy though 5 foot 6, and 12 stone (all muscle...), so I guess that would have had a lot to do with it. If I'd known at the time of ordering that I could've had a 32" bolt-on neck as a custom option, for what wasn't much more cash at the time, I'd probably still own it... Eude

Love the striped fingerboard idea, very cool

[quote name='ead' timestamp='1360671107' post='1974207'] Four strings are quite sufficient for me unless I'm playing my 5-string air bass, but that can be a bit tricky due to the added complexity [/quote] Cool, that will be a lovely bass, Alan makes some incredible instruments, as you know. Got a real soft spot for a bit of Wenge myself I've got 4, 5 and 6 string ACGs, but I'm best at on my air 3 string bass

Nice spec, how many strings?!....

That is gorgeous mate, congratulations! Eude

[quote name='ead' timestamp='1360440164' post='1970582'] A deposit has been paid to a gentleman in the Moffat area. Details to follow. I knew that taking Mrs ead to the MBB was an inspired idea [/quote] Ooooh, spill spill spill...

[quote name='hamfist' timestamp='1360310687' post='1968306'] Can't help with the ad, but can verify that Ashdown's email inbox is the online equivalent to a black hole. [/quote] Contact them on Facebook, they're usually pretty prompt to reply on there. If you're not on there, shoot me a PM and I'll give you a direct email address. Eude

Also, spot paying so much for them! I buy strings here, usually >> http://stores.ebay.co.uk/bassspecialties Much cheaper than the usual unacceptable UK rip off prices, even including international shipping... Eude

Sk8 on here is selling a recently built Hiwatt Custom 200 for £600 I think, it's a bit of a beast, maybe drop him a PM if yer interested... Eude

[quote name='alexclaber' timestamp='1360067295' post='1964208'] You're right, it is - doh! Changing that now... Thanks! [/quote] No bother dude, it's rare for me to be so eagle-eyed...

[quote name='alexclaber' timestamp='1360066570' post='1964188'] Just for clarification, there is no longer a neo surcharge on our cabs - the neo price is still high but relatively stable so when we revised our prices we removed the variable surcharge. [/quote] Good stuff dude, I think it's still mentioned on your site on the ordering and availability page... Eude

[quote name='Beer of the Bass' timestamp='1360002146' post='1963366'] I don't struggle for volume with an amp rated at 140 watts, so the Ashdown could still be a perfectly viable gigging amp. [/quote] Yup, I can appreciate why some folks want lots of wattage, but for your average non pro player it really is not necessary...

[quote name='Dr M' timestamp='1359997730' post='1963248'] [url="http://ashdownmusic.com/products/1/Bass-Amplification/5/MiBass/43/MiBass-20/"]http://ashdownmusic....s/43/MiBass-20/[/url] Plenty more details there, and the gain control offers 'tube emultated overdrive' according to the manual. On the subject of the manual, it's got bleeding graphs in the back! First time I've seen that for a bass amp. [/quote] Thanks dude, will give that a once over on the train home :-)

[quote name='Dr M' timestamp='1359993503' post='1963143'] Thread revival, but now that NAMM's been and gone, has anyone found out anything more about this? Doesn't appear to be on their website yet. [/quote] A bloke over on TalkBass said that it's only a Prototype but might be released later this year. My attention is turning to the MiBass 2.0 head now, the Youtube video for it eluded that there's a distortion curcuit built into the gain structure so you can actually dial some proper distortion out of it without getting the harsh solidstate/digital clipping you usually get in on there kinds of amps when you push them too hard. Think my Promethean will be up for sale soon...

[quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1359990870' post='1963066']Any news on the 1x12s? [/quote] I've got one

[quote name='Conan' timestamp='1359980088' post='1962757'] Agreed. That would be an interesting A/B test! [/quote] Yup indeed it would, but I think the S12T vs the EAD Foundation 212 is still a valid one, especially seeing as the lows seem to be the most pronounced difference when it comes to the sound. I do love the look of the vertically aligned 2x12 retro thing the BF has going on, but if I was gigging reguarly, the my money would go on an EAD. I am a little biased though, as I already have one of the 1x12 prototypes Eude
