I have just bought an ACG Recurve from Ben - his communications, postage and packaging were of the highest calibre.
An absolute gentleman and thoroughly recommended. Fantastic seller, wholly trustworthy, honest and reliable.
BIG thumbs up!!!!
Jeff's pickups are custom wound by bartolini. To my ears he has a very distinct 'mid' tone. Of course, passive basses with just a dash of chorus have also always been Jeff's thing.
The fact that someone considers this impossible makes me feel good because, despite being really good, I don't hear/see anything particularly out there!
I consider him as one of the all time great prog bassists. His bass work on 'Selling England by the pound', and many others, ('Eleventh Earl of Mar' anyone?) Is par excellence.
Holy moly! He replaced Jaco in Weather Report (please don't ask who Jaco or Weather Report are or all is lost lol)
These are stunning, rare jazz basses ...glwts
Often overlooked, the truss rod is the most important part of any guitar/bass.
Personally, if it's maxed out I would avoid that instrument. Flats are alao generally significantly higher tension than the round alternatives ...and the ones you have described are heavy gauge.
Not a good combo in my humble opinion.
It exceeded my expectations and I even found it strangely emotional. The live aid section took me back. I remember watching it live on the TV and being blown away. Loved it.
