  1. [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]ACG 5 string Gallus[/font][/color]

    [font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][color=#282828]Based in Glasgow, will post to UK mainland, fully insured, as part of the deal.[/color][/font]

    [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]An early (2010) Handmade Gallus style bass guitar by Alan Cringean, from Moffat in Scotland (acguitars.co.uk) . Very High quality (it would cost you £200 just for the pre-amp) this is a lovely bass.. If i had to compare it in looks, think Warwick dolphin..ish. Light bass, sits well on the lap as well as the strap. You certainly wont see many of these around.[/font][/color]

    [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]In very nice condition (two 1mm size dints as far as i can find).[/font][/color]

    [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]ACG's are fast becoming a cult bass manufacturer due to the very high quality of build.[/font][/color]

  2. Gallus arrived today. Bit larger than expected (feels a lot like the Overwater Tanglewood Aspiration Elite I used to own) but sits really well on the strap and lap.

    I think the J Type pips it on looks though. I'm also looking to buy the J Type but the seller doesn't seem to read their PMs.

    Assuming I'm successful I'll be able to try each for a while and then keep the one that works best for me.
