[quote name='loushort' timestamp='1352649722' post='1865567'] good choice of builder gents hes a top bloke and a master builder Ive got 6 of his basses i hope you get as much pleasure from your custom builds enjoy [/quote] pics please! I reckon someone should start a Letts porn thread...

Mine arrived this morning and it's asbolutely awesome, the most amazing fretless warmth in every note (I've not had chance to plug it in yet so this is just acoustically!)...

[size=4]Arrived this morning (so I was slightly late for work )![/size] [size=4]It's a [/size][size=4]Macassar Ebony fingerboard, AAA flame maple top (with silver stain), Honduras mahogany/wenge neck and body, MM pickup, passive electronics, vol & tone, simples![/size] sexy bass on the bed photos [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/andy_dye/sets/72157631997960244/"]http://www.flickr.com/photos/andy_dye/sets/72157631997960244/[/url] I've only had chance to try it acoustically but it's got serious resonance across all the strings, loads of fretless warmth / mwah, seriously amazing, this is the nicest most 'me' fretless bass I've ever had! It's really really light too, I'll forget I'm playing it if I'm not careful and it balances perfectly!! Hopefully get to plug it in tonight and give it a proper go

[quote name='Dread Bass' timestamp='1352741403' post='1866861'] And so it begins..... You will be wanting more of them just like Eude and I. [/quote] absolutely matey...it's a very slippery slope!! shonky phone cam pics replaced with 'sexy bass on the bed' pics

[quote name='eude' timestamp='1352722383' post='1866457'] I told you! I can't recommend ACG basses enough, I know some folks might want something a little more traditional looking, and now there's a couple of more trad shapes available now, and with the Graft range you can be even more trad if you want. It's a one stop GAS shop! Eude [/quote] You did indeed matey, I'm very much sold on Alan's creations!

[quote name='Dread Bass' timestamp='1352676926' post='1866104'] I just love this bass. Congrats Andy. [/quote] Thanks matey, it's a keeper that's for sure! Not even sure if I need another ACG, maybe a bolt on 5'er with Black Limba body and some pleasing facing wood, 2 humbuckers and the preamp of doom...mmm that sounds like fun! [quote name='eude' timestamp='1352714297' post='1866328'] That's awesome mate! My experience of ACGs is that they have a lot more guts too and the bridge pickup solo'd always sounds surprisingly full and punchy! Nice Eude [/quote] Thanks matey, I was gobsmacked when I tried it in the mix, these are seriously amazing pieces of kit!

[quote name='eude' timestamp='1352666579' post='1865934'] Hey man, how you getting on with the new bass? It's an absolute peach! (sorry, no new pics from me, was up a ladder painting ceilings all weekend, was dark before I got down, on Saturday and Sunday , maybe next weekend...) Eude [/quote] Hiya matey, I've had a couple of hours with it now and I can honestly say it's superb, solo it has a poise and clarity I've not known in a bass before and in the mix it has sufficient low and low mid impetus to power through in a classic rock style or mix in a bit of bridge pup and you've got fingerstyle funk but with more guts than any other bass I've had. Bridge pup only gives a superb solid quack. It's heavy but beautifully balanced so that despite playing standing for a while my shoulder is fine and dandy! Its weight also translates into a real feeling of substance, in that, it feels real in your hand, not some pansy necked lightweight balsa nasty, but a glorious marriage of pieces of wood! I'm sold. The preamp is the dogs b€£&€$&s too, and with the pups, provides a vast array of possible tones, I played everything from abba, Jackson 5, wham, Texas, bad company, Steppenwolf, queen, Paul Simon, journey, mika, the fratellis, Whitney Houston and van Halen this evening and with a flick of a knob or two I got each bass sound close enough that it sat right in each track, mid peaks in the right places, everything! Well impressed!!

Awesomeness mate, glad you're made up with it! Pics please!

[quote name='KuzBass' timestamp='1352467271' post='1863450'] Uh, nice! Congrats! Be patient I have to wait much longer - one week (the other luthier though)! [/quote] It'll be worth the wait matey, have no doubt there! [quote name='jonzbass' timestamp='1352467761' post='1863453'] Terrific bass.., I landed shortly my hands on her this summer, (un)fortunately my wife was here too, I could have bought this one [/quote] Thanks matey, she's a beaut, am rather pleased you didn't buy it you know [quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1352467775' post='1863454'] wooooooooo [/quote] why thankyou kind sir! [quote name='eude' timestamp='1352467959' post='1863456'] Congrats matey! Can't wait to hear how you get on I intend to take some reasonable pics of my ACG family this weekend, assuming the light is OK, we all expect you to do something similar Eude [/quote] Ta mucka, I'll give it a few days to settle my ears in to the completely new way of working a preamp and then let the world know how I'm getting on... I look forward to seeing the family group matey! A few pic of my own added now (albeit phone cam ones as I haven't had chance to play with my proper camera as yet!)

I know this bass has arrived because Mrs andydye has told me so, it's at home waiting for me to unwrap it and play it! I've just got these next unfortunate 3 hours or so before I get home from work...don't think I'm going to be very focused this afternoon here's a link to the ACG page for it [url="http://www.acguitars.co.uk/Available/19/"]http://www.acguitars...k/Available/19/[/url] Sexy bass on the bed photos...

[quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1352382977' post='1862390'] oooohhh interesting.... [/quote] indeedy

Also, does the 4% allow for those buying BC stuff after sales? I've done this the last few times...

So, during the changeover period will any existing threads need to be recreated in the new marketplace in order to be able to continue to answer questions about them? Also, is bumping still achievable in the new styley or is it a bump free world that works very differently from now on?

Terry bought my speakon - speakon cable, great comms and super speedy payment, no probs! Top chap, ta matey!

[quote name='ped' timestamp='1352361667' post='1862060'] I've added a couple of demo 'questions' to show how they appear in the associated tab. http://isaaclewis2.invisionzone.com/index.php?/classifieds/item/9-warwick-brand-new-with-case/#questions [/quote] Major hitch for me is that questions aren't visible in mobile mode

[quote name='thumperbob 2002' timestamp='1352320709' post='1861716'] Got one of these from another chatter. What a great pedal So simple- just controls the mid range frequencies. Built like a tank. Tiny but very heavy. My rig is a little scooped so thought I would use a graphic to add more mids ( maxed out on my hartke lh1000 ) so bought a behringer one. Did the trick but was curious about the bmc pedal - one came up on here so I bought it. Amazing quality, very warm sounding. Loads of different sounds on this and all useful. Cut through like knife through butter. Really really useful pedal that would be useful for all players. [/quote] So, the secret's out now then, ah well, glad you're enjoying it matey, they're fab, I expect I'll have another one someday...

I always (apart from one time) include pics of the actual item making sure I capture any issues or particularly cool features... The only time I didn't was recently when I sold a headphone amp that was completely pristine and I didn't get round to taking actual pics, it still sold though... I do now have 3 pages of positive feedback describing how thorough, accurate and generally trustworthy I've been... If I see an item I'm looking for and the seller has little or no feedback I need to see pics of the actual item for sale, but if it's an established member I know or who has an established in the community I'm less twitchy... Dunno if that helps or not but thats my approach

Sergio bought my last ehx boss adaptor, paid nice n quick, all nice n easy, super chap, ta matey!

[quote name='bruno von' timestamp='1352292844' post='1861126'] ok, I wrote this app last night. I will publish it to playstore when i get home later, you any good at gfx design bremen? it could do with a nice app icon. [/quote] Welcome ...and... by what name shall we find it in the appstore?
