ACG made around 2012 I think. Bass is on Alan's website here: http://www.acguitars.co.uk/acg_admin/wordpress/portfolio/g019-j-type-fretless-4/ American alder body finished in “grunge black”, 3 ply parchment/black scratchplate, 3 piece maple neck with Indian ebony unlined fingerboard (dots on side at fret positions), birdseye maple headplate with black veneer accent. 2 ACG FB humbuckers, Hipshot bridge, Gotoh tuners. Previous owner had the passive EQ upgraded to active 3 band Audere preamp, so controls are stacked volume/blend, stacked treble/bass, stacked hi mid/lo mid. Beautiful bass, in excellent condition. Some very light marking on the fingerboard from the roundwounds I have on it but very superficial. Only selling as I just accidentally bought another fretless here and want to stick to my one in one out policy! Based in Edinburgh, collection preferred, no trades please as I have already replaced it, gig bag included if wanted. Pictures to follow once I've sorted out my upload quota. You'll find it on gumtree too if you want to look now.

It's a done deal. :-) Looking forward to getting it next week sometime. Thanks to everyone for all the reassurances.

You just bought this a few days ago, yes? What's wrong with it?

PMd.

Did you ever sell this bass?

Hi, Yes, I can box and send. Likely be an extra £20 I'd guess. i'll need to dig out the cajon bag but yes, I think it has a shoulder strap. Cheers.

Hi. I have a prospective buyer hopefully coming to tomorrow. Will post if it is not sold. Thanks for all the interest.

PM'd.

Unusual white M2000 Tribute, from a small initial batch that didn’t go into full production. White body, matching headstock, no binding, vintage tint on neck. It’s a great sounding bass in its own right (pickups and electronics are the same as the USA G&Ls) but I had a John East U-Retro Deluxe preamp lying around so I had it put in, wiring it to run at 18v. I think it improves the bass significantly. the bass has been very lightly used, condition as new really. The U-Retro mean the bass now has controls for: volume, blend, treble (with treble boost pull), bass, mid with mid frequency sweep, plus an active/passive push/pull combined with a passive tone control. There are some internal controls and jumpers inside which can do things like change it to a flat response etc that I’ve not really played with. Phew. First of all, I think the core tone of the John East is better. But the two key interesting additions here are the sweepable mid – I like boosting the mids a little near the bottom of the sweep for a bit extra low end warmth without any boom – and also the passive switching and tone control. The M2000 stock preamp has no passive mode. It’s nice to hear those humbuckers passively and roll the tone off for a bit more old school tone. So, this preamp give a massive range of tonal options to an already great bass. I do still have the original M2000 preamp which I will ship with the bass. Alternatively, if you want the stock one back in, I will get that done prior to shipping and I’ll sell the U-Retro separately. You’ll also see I have added Dunlop strap locks and a black scratchplate, which I just think makes the bass look cooler. :-) I genuinely love this bass, but a USA G&L came up on this forum which I couldn’t resist so I need a bit of money to help pay for that (and no trades please). If you haven't tried a G&L bass yet, do yourself a favour. The most underrated basses around. Based in Edinburgh but can ship at cost.

Bump.

Which neck is on this one? Is it the 1 5/8" one?
