  1. And you sold it to me. It was my first ACG, and not my last one. I'm very tempted to buy it back, and it's only 15km away from me. This planet is really quite small.
  2. And I know why. This is my old bass and of all the BN5s I've had so far this is by far the best one. Great sound, even better playability. Someone will be very happy.
  3. The bass is located in the north-western part of Germany near the Dutch border. The string spacing is 19mm at the bridge. I don't have any sound clips of the bass as I don't have the proper equipment. But it sounds what it looks like, a modern Jazz Bass, very articulate and well-balanced across the fretboard. BTW, with its weight of just 3,8kg it's very comfortable to play.
  4. Here is my beautiful Tedesco TT5 in very good condition. Sounds great,looks great and everything works fine. The bass was made in 2009, but it shows only minor signs of use. Some specs: -alder body -stunning quilted maple top in honeyburst -pau ferro fretboard -Nordstrand dual coil pickups -aguilar 2-band preamp -hipshot hardware For more info or pics just drop me a message.
  5. According to the "one in - one out"-rule this ACG RetroB has to go now. I bought the bass from Alan a couple of months ago. As it has never left the house, the bass is in mint condition, almost like new, no dings, no scratches. Here are the specs: Top Wood: Figured Maple with Tobacco finish Body Wood: Alder Body Finish: Stained satin Lacquer Neck Wood: 1 piece Birdseye Maple Finger Board: Rosewood Scale: 34″ Neck Finish: Satin Lacquer Pickups: ACG OWSB in the neck and ACG RFB in the bridge Hardware: Hipshot A Type bridge 18mm spacing, Gotoh GB7 tuners, Dunlop Dual Design Straplocks, Hipshot String Tree Pre-amp: East 4K Check also Alan's website to see what he thinks about this bass, which he has originally made for himself. The bass is shipped in a new Hiscox case.
  6. Good to see my old bass again. I can only confirm what is already said about the bass and Muamer. GLWTS.
  7. The bass is located in the northwestern part of Germany.
  8. Sorry, but I don't have any sound files. There are some videos to be found on the Internet which prove that, although belonging to the 'simpler' line of Alembic basses (if there is something like that at all), the Persuader actually does have the Alembic sound.
  9. Here's my 1987 Alembic Persuader Custom V in good condition. It plays and sounds like an Alembic, but as I prefer 4 string basses the string spacing is a bit too narrow for me. This Persuader is equipped with 2 J-pickups and the neck is a 7-piece neck, which makes this Persuader a little bit special. Most Persuaders you come across feature a P/J-configuration and the neck is 3-piece. The bass has been played, and there are cracks in the finish, but nothing that influences the sound or playability. As far as I know everything is original except for the tuners, which don't show the Alembic logo. Some Specs: mahogany body with quilted maple top neck 7!!!! piece neck maple/ purple heart Alembic J pickups Alembic preamp Vol/Vol/Filter 32" scale string spacing 16mm weight 4,5 kg The bass can be shipped in a mint Xotic gig bag, as I don't have the original case. Price: 1690GBP New Price: 1490GBP
  10. New price and new preamp. I replaced the preamp by an East Uni-Pre 5. Very versatile and equipped with a passive tone control now.
  11. I have to reduce my number of basses, so here's my beautiful Benavente single cut bass. As far as I know this bass was built for the 2004 Namm show. The bass is in a really good used condition. The bass is very comfortable to play, low action and really lightweight. I think it's hard to find a lighter single cut bass, as this beauty weighs in at just 3,7kg. The sound is very responsive, from nice growly finger tone to killing slap sound. The top is just amazing, a pleasure to look at. It's a proof that nature is capable of creating wonderful pieces of art. Some specs: mahagony body incredible spalted maple top paduak/maple neck with flamed maple fingerboard DiMarzio Ultra Jazz pickups Benavente/Suhr 3 band preamp Now replaced by East Uni-Pre 5 (original preamp included) New Price: 2150 GBP 1500GBP
  12. You're right, no need to worry about the finish. I have always taken good care of this beauty. The string spacing is 19mm.
  13. Here's my beautiful BN5 with a stunning burl maple top. Of the FBasses I have owned so far this is definitely the best one - great sound and playability. The neck is a dream to play. The preamp is not the usual Volume-Volume for each pickup, but Volume-Balance. The bass is in very good condition and comes with the FBass gig bag. If it was a 4-string I would never part with it, but as I play my 4-string basses most of the time this fantastic bass spends most of the time in its gig bag, which is not what it was built for. If you want to see and hear the bass, just go for Rogier van Wegberg FBass on youtube. I might consider trading the bass for a 4-string FBass, Sadowsky or Ken Smith. New Price: 2850GBP or 3200€
