    That’s a fantastic exchange rate!!

    Same scale, pickups & pre. But 16mm spacing on ETS headless bridge. Battery low indicator no longer available. Rear upper scoops less severe. If you zoom in on the images, the illusion of the 3D ripples in the wood is quite clear.

    A while back I bought an ACG Salace shortie (352) from @binky_bass. And that was it. Once you’ve got one ….. Now as it happens, Alan found the rest of the same piece of camphor that’s on the back of 352. So the spec for my own build fell out pretty easily. Around 4 months to go if the bridge arrives on time. 🙏

    Parting with some diamonds this year!

    That is very good value.

    Start with a 305 😉

    There is a short scale ACG Krell for sale on BC. If you live near Liverpool I’d strongly advise you to go and take a look if you’re after a modern bass.

    That looks like it will balance well.

    I have a ZPO5 and it balances as a normal jazz. The B on it is great, so you can imagine how good a 4 would be.

    There are currently two Atelier ZPOs available at Bass Japan Direct. https://reverb.com/uk/item/76277268-atelier-z-zpo4-2016-transparent-blue

    What are the pre amp controls? The original had just treble & bass.

    Having had a look at both posts, the wood grains look suspiciously identical to me.
  13. MJJS
    Actually the spec is a 518 bridge, so it’s clearly 18mm!
  14. MJJS
    You’re all thinking it. 68/4 = 17mm 😉

    I personally don’t like the grating of fingers over round stings on fretless and find D’Adario chrome flats to be the smoothest metal strings. However, Labella nylons are like glass.

    If you want to really add something different and new, have a think about an inexpensive EUB to play with for a while. If that takes your fancy, I’d recommend the Discover Double Bass starter course to help you get going as the hand technique at the start is important.

    Looks great. So a 35.4” scale and 18mm string spacing.

    I think this is the second such bass to appear here in about 6 months and getting on for half the price of the previous one. I wish I had bigger hands as I can’t do much more than 16mm on a 6er!

    I wanted to try out the ACG01 filter preamp that John East sells on an fretless and so decided to utilise a Harley Benton as a vehicle to house it. The bass is ridiculously good and comfortable for the money before I made any changes. However I ploughed on and replaced the preamp and the strings with D’Adarios chrome flats that I’ve found the best fretless string for my taste. The result is a pretty good WAL-a-like (to an extent) but a rather indulgent build.

    Sire U5 ( which is 4 string ) Atelier ZPO 4 (if you can find one) If your budget runs to an ACG you won’t be disappointed.
  21. MJJS
    Or me, especially if it was a shorter scale!!
  22. MJJS
    I own a 5er that’s fitted with Labella flats. It does the old thud thing very well. The neck feels wide at the dusty end.
  23. MJJS
    Here’s mine from about ‘85 that I had made fretless when new. Still works! Great fun bass.
  24. MJJS
    So you convinced yourself to sell then …… GLWTS

    I just passed a really nice G4M bass down the line for £400 with a bag and pickup. Starter double basses are making strides like starter electric basses…..
