    Favourite - Springsteen solo 1996, Birmingham Symphony Hall, 8th row, slap bang in the centre. Jaw-dropping. Least favourite - Van Halen 2006, Toyota Center, Dallas. Worst sound I’ve experienced at any gig in 40 years. There have been a few shockers and some very, very good ones in between but those two just clinch it.

    FS/FT ACG J-Type 5. £1100/£1350 I bought this stock bass from Alan at ACG a couple of years ago. Excellent condition. Home use only. Will sell as either fretted or fretless for £1100 or with both necks for £1350. I bought a partially lined fretless neck about a year ago and the Bass has this neck at the moment along with a black scratchplate. Specs and original pics here https://www.acguitars.co.uk/project/0326jtype5/ Weight 4.273 kg String spacing at bridge 18mm A lot of folks on here can vouch for the quality of Alan’s work and the beauty of his instruments. Only selling this to fund a new build as a retirement gift to myself or maybe trade for a lined fretless 4. Will ship (UK only, sorry) or meet halfway (I’m just outside York) Comes with Hiscox case.

    That is beautiful. A shame that Brexit rules it out despite the special offer 🤬

    Never got beyond Black Sabbath as a yoof and was lucky enough to catch Zeppelin at Earls Court in ‘75 but of late have survived on a diet of John Martyn, Nick Drake and Kurt Wagner’s (as opposed to Shari Lewis’s) Lambchop and a smattering of prog. However, having caught a glimpse of Rammstein at the Download Festival on BBC4/Sky Arts (can’t remember which) I sought out the Madison Square Garden gig on Amazon and am eagerly looking forward to the Paris show, also courtesy of the bald megalomaniac. I’m starting to obsess, I can feel it, so much so that I’m looking for tickets for Coventry next year when l’ll be in ‘Will you still need me, will you still feed me’ territory. Cracking stuff!

    I paid 2.5k for an Arcam setup about 15 years ago, CD not vinyl and all now sold; don’t intend spending any more than £300/£350 on the RP1. I can overcome Hi-Fi GAS 😉

    Yes, I’m thinking of getting the turntable with a built-in phono stage so one less box to clutter the place up. Quality will depend on the source recording because of the unforgiving nature of the monitors and the only way to tell us to demo it. Just looking for anyone who’s gone down that route.

    I haven’t had a proper ‘music’ system for years, having lived in a house with built-in speakers and streamed music for the last 10 years. My office/refuge has my UR242 and powered Studio monitors and I’m considering treating myself to a Rega RP1 turntable. Anyone got a similar setup?

    Yes, Alan sprays the wood to give an idea of the finished article.

    Deleted and reloaded.

    Yes, champing at the bit! Once cleaned and lacquered, the woods will really show their true colours.

    Just acquired this in a straight trade for a 4 string Special.

    Sorry to hear this sad news, Tom. Beautiful bass, good luck with the sale. Shaun

    I’d be tempted if there was a Buy It Now option.....or would I? 🧐
