I’m having to let go of all my long scales due to wrist issues which is a particular shame given how much I love the look of this bass. The Thunderbird-esque pickups sounds fantastic too so much so I’m seriously contemplating a custom short scale build with these pickups! The bass is in mint condition and still has one of the pick-up stickers attached. Weight is 3.8kg Full spec below: https://www.epiphone.com/en-GB/Electric-Bass/EPIM96326/Smoked-Almond-Metallic I’ve made some modifications to address several shortcomings from stock and include: 1. Hipshot licenced Elephant Ear tuners 2. Upgraded volume and tone pots 3. 4-way rotary pick up selector by Dingwall offering neck/series/parralel/bridge. The output when in series is HOT! 4. Chrome knobs by John East The wiring was completed by Alan at ACG guitars and the installation was completed by the Bass Gallery in London who also fitted the turners and completed a full set-up. All work expertly done. Collection from Reading/London. Happy to ship +£20. I also have a new Thomann hardcase that I can include for shipping purposes for an additional £50. I’m always reluctant to ship without a hardcase! Will also accept trades for various pedals! Some ideas below - Meris Hedra/Polymoon/Mercury 7 A preamp - Origin Effects, Capo, EBS Microbass, Nordy Starlifter or similar Origin Effects Cali Future Impact HX Stop Strymon Zelza Eventide H9 Anything by 3Leaf or Iron Ether This is a video of the actual bass - And some YouTube reviews: Any questions, please feel free to ask. Always welcome to pop along and try it out if you happen to be in the area.

Hampstead Works make such great pedals and the Subspace is fantastic. I think I’d need that clean blend but I’m sure the Odyssey sounds great too!

A simply stunning custom from Alan Cringean at ACG. Reduced to £2000 This is a video of the actual bass: I commissioned this is 2020 and took delivery in 2021. My aim for this bass was to have a medium scale super-P with extra flexibility and Alan delivered! It’s in immaculate condition. Unfortunately, wrist issues mean that I can only comfortably manage short scale 4-strings. The full spec is posted below. Happy to post or collection in Reading or London. No trades except for perhaps a Serek Midwestern or Spector Shorty. Model RetroB Strings/Scale: 5/32inch scale Currently strung E to C Body core: Ash Top/veneer: Holly no veneer Neck woods: 3 piece Wenge Graphite reinforcement F/B wood: Wenge 22 fret Radius: Flat Side dots: White Head plate: Holly no veneer Bridge: Hipshot Type A 16.5mm spacing Pre-amp: Passive Volume/Blend/Tone Bridge Pickup: ACG RFB 110 x 50 Bridge with coil switching (series/single coil/parallel) Neck: ACG PB 110 x 50 Neck - it’s a p style in a larger housing. String thru on E string Schaller strap locks Hiscox case

Oooooo, some lovely things here. I’d imagine several of these might be gone before the end of the day (3Leaf!). Good luck with sales!

An ‘as new’ Microsynth including original box and power supply. I’ve been able to get some very Moog-ish sounds from this and the gated fuzz is ferocious! I’m just finding the Source Audio C4 is getting more love than this so moving it on. Shipping +£5 or collection from Reading/London. Lots of videos on-line but below is a sampling of some of the better ones! I’d also be open to trades for a good quality preamp, compressor, something filtery, or just plain weird. Some examples with cash from me where required - Cali compressor Dark Glass particularly the Alpha/Omega Line 6 HX Stomp anything from 3Leaf or Iron Ether because you never know 😝 Meris particularly the Ottobit Jr Hampstead Works EHX Qtron (big box version)

That one is going nowhere! Haha!

Here we have an ACG from Alan's Graft range which I believe he no longer offers. It's a fantastic passive bass that covers a lot of tonal ground. I've been so pleased with it that I commissioned a 5-string medium scale version with the same pick-up arrangment hence the sale. It's just too similar to the new one and not getting the attention it deserves. I've owned it from new and bought directly from Alan at ACG. It's never been gigged and seen home use only; and is in excellent overall condition. There is one very small dink that I've tried to capture in the pictures. I've also included a picture of what looks like some indentations but are actually imperfections in the alder body that were there when built; these are under the lacquer and perfectly smoothed over. They just look like indentations in the picture! Everything else is in perfect working order; truss rod, pots etc. I also asked Alan to include an ebony-topped ramp that can be easiliy removed if you'd prefer. It's attached using doubled-sided tape. It's been recently set-up by Andrew at Anaconda Basses who also makes some brilliant instruments. I had Andrew fit a brass nut several years ago too. Currently strung with a set of Thomastik Jazz Flats but happy to change for a string of your choice before shipping. It sounds lovely with flats though! I’m happy to courier and the price quoted includes shipping. Also happy for you to collect from Reading or London. Scale length: 34” Body: Alder with White Limba top Neck: 3 piece maple (asymetric) Fingerboard: A very thick slab of rosewood with zero radius Pickup: ACG SB bridge and ACG PB neck (think P-bass!) Electronics: Volume, 4-way selector (front coil, both series, both parallel, back coil), tone Hardware: Hipshot B-style bridge and Gotoh tuners Weight: 7lbs 6oz (3.4kgs). Case: A Thomann branded hardcase in new condition for shipping or a Sandberg soft case depending on your preference A link to Alan's website for this bass: https://acguitars.co.uk/project/g012jtype5/ Please don't hesitate to ask any questions and you're more than welcome to come and try it out. I'm hoping for a straight sale but may be open to trades for a short scale with cash from me if needed. Some short scales that are high on my list include: Another ACG but a shortie Nordstrand Acinonyx Spector Bantam Lakland Hollowbody Musicman Stingray with a wad a cash from me!

Sold to the gentleman in South Wales. Happy playing, Gary. Best, Jason

Hello folks, Here's a great example of Alan's work. I'm selling due to my being a poorly student (and I also have another ACG to see me through these lean times!). This was originally a stock bass which I bought direct from Alan of ACG Guitars in 2010 for a very good price. It has never been gigged and is in mint condition (no dents, marks, scratches etc.). Recently set-up in July by the Bass Gallery in London, with a medium-low action and fresh set of Dunlop nickels. The 'ramp', which was also fitted by the Bass Gallery, is made from purple heart wood and is detachable. You are more than welcome to come round for a test drive and complimentary tea and biscuits. I'm based in North London. I'm also happy to post via courier, which should be around £50 with insurance. It'll also ship in a Hiscox hard case which is also in mint condition. I'm not open to trades unfortunately, as this is very much a fundraiser. Although, I might consider partial trades for a short scale bass. Feel free to ask any questions. Best, Jason Full spec below- Body and neck Ash body 3 piece Purpleheart/Maple asymmetrical neck 34" scale Goncalo Alves finger board with no radius Satin finish body and neck Hardware Hipshot Type A 18 mm bridge Hipshot Ultralite tuners ACG EQ01 filter-based pre-amp ACG SB single coil pickups Weight: 4.6kg Link to Alan's website with additional pictures - http://archive.acguitars.co.uk/portfolio/0068-finn-5-string/ This video gives a sense of the versatility of the filter pre-amp -
