  1. Steve bought my bass - worked like a charm. Perfect communication, patient, prompt payment, no issues whatsoever. Recommended basschatter, deal with confidence. Thanks Steve!
  2. This happened to me as well - DPD (which down here seems to delegate on FedEx) was out for delivery on a Friday, come 6 pm they sent a message that they couldn't deliver because there was no one - and it was the office address with one recepcionist and at least 10 people at any time during the day. They requested that I 'provided a solution' online, I indicated a nearby depot among their list (a tobacco shop, which felt weird), then they delivered the package at the original address the next Monday! I can see a DPD pattern emerging...
  3. Weight is 3.3 kg on this one. To make it all matching, the price is now 330£ including original hard case and shipping! Will not go lower, sorry.
  4. Yes, the price includes shipping with UPS. It comes with a well-padded, rigid Sandberg soft case, which offers good protection. It will be well-packaged with bubblewrap and in a cardboard box, so safe for shipping in my experience, Thanks
  5. Reduced for a straight sale: now 1100£ firm. Open to consider trades, also px, note trade value though.
  6. Sorry - my bad, got the currency wrong and a fellow basschatter immediately alerted me. It is 370£ including hardcase and shipping, new these are 470£. There is no reduction, just a correction - 500£ would be higher than new! Apologies
  7. Will try to get an accurate weight tomorrow, would be surprised it is more than 3.5 kg. The body wood is solid ash.
  8. NOTE TRADE VALUE ABOVE IS INCORRECT Hi all, Lovely little bass here! I ordered this a while ago out of curiosity about short scale basses (30"). As it happens, it took quite a bit longer to deliver than expected, so I (of course) got carried away in the meantime and now this is surplus to requirements! So a unique opportunity to grab a brand new bass at a great price and without waiting time... This is the standard version of Scott's offering, passive (volume, tone, pickup switch), manufactured in China. Lovely all around, the bass has plenty of punch and definition. If I were to keep it, I'd try to string it piccolo or tenor, it looks like it will be fab - but it is very good with standard tuning too. The 'Alembicized' body shape forces you to try your Stanley Clarke riffs immediately! It is very light too, but feels adequately substantial due to the thicker body shape. The neck is pretty great, very easy to navigate. These go at 600+ Euro new including the fitted hard case, I'll let it go for 485 Euro (or 370 gbp) shipping included. All MINT, obviously. Grab it while you can!

  10. Up - you get a lot of bass for the money with this one, believe me - I've had a few
  11. Not difficult to get a variety of sounds, but it may be to find a particular sound you have in mind. For example, the basic neck and bridge (and both) sounds, super-bright or super-deep are dead easy (just use balance and tone, which is super-effective). The nuances in the mids is where the variety is immense (not only filters per pickup and boosts, but you can also select the push/pull boosted freq for low-mid and hi-mid through switches in the rear cavity, the amount of boost, etc). It's like having a POD in the bass! That said, the bass plays so well that I am seriously considering to keep it!
  12. Wasn't Ged the bass player with Danny Wilson? I loved that band
  13. Not bad for a first post ever... 😄 I'm based in Barcelona, Spain.
  14. Hi Got this recently in a trade, my third ACG. Must confess that this is the easiest 5-string I have ever played, your fingers just fly over the gorgeous fretboard. But I still find the (fully loaded) filter pre too versatile: there are so many sounds possible, that I keep on changing them, which keeps me from playing, if that makes any sense! Otherwise, it is a MINT, beautiful bass (even better in the flesh), extremely well balanced, with a wonderful neck and a 'springy' B string - quality. The preamp is amazing: one filter per pickup and treble (all 3 are concentric boost/cut and freq, all with push/pull for mid/treble boosts), passive tone, volume, pan. Serial nr is 0123. Full spec on here: http://www.acguitars.co.uk/acg_admin/wordpress/portfolio/0123-recurve-sc-classic-5-string/ I am in two minds about selling it really, as it is up there with any world-class 5-string, but I have too many basses anyway, so let's see if there's any interest. I'll entertain trades - I am very picky though, and would prefer a straight sale. I will include a well-padded Sandberg gig bag and shipping.
