    Hi, could you post a picture of the ding or any other blemishes please. This is truly stunning !

    I've added that photo for you. Thanks for reminding me, I've been meaning to add that :lol:

    I've also added a recent photo that shows how the purple heart has deepened to a kind of chocolatey purple colour.

    Happy to add more photos of any particulars but I can't see any imperfections, other than aforementioned ding.

    I really think this is unbelievable value, it's a lovely bass. It would have sold in record time were it not for the weight! For a shorty, she's a bit of a fat lass. But you'll put up with that given the performance and looks... {insert ubiquitous mum joke here}.

  2. Aye, she's pretty. Buckeye bur and purple heart have always looked amazing together in my opinion. They individually have other-wordly looks, but also contrast so much. It's almost like they're at opposite ends of the timber spectrum. I decided to go for this look after seeing it in other guitars and also furniture. The guy who built it uses some spectacular woods, and he did a fantastic job.

  3. A custom build made for myself, completed in 2017.

    https://www.acguitars.co.uk/project/0269krell-4/

    • Body Wood: Black Limba
    • Top Wood: AI Buckeye Burl with Purpleheart accent
    • Body Finish: Satin Lacquer
    • Neck Wood: 5 piece Maple/Purpleheart
    • Finger Board: Purpleheart
    • Scale: 30.5″
    • Neck Finish: Satin Lacquer
    • Pickups: ACG RFB humbucker bridge. ACG PB split coil neck in a Black Limba/Purpleheart/Buckeye ramp.
    • Hardware: Hipshot Type A  Dunlop Dual Schaller Straplocks, Hipshot Ultralites with Detuner on the E.
    • Pre-amp: ACG DFM 4K
    • Weight: 4.1kg (9lbs)

    One small ding by the strap lock at the bridge end. Sounds amazing, plays like butter. I also like that the neck doesn't encroach too far in to the body. This means it feels like a standard scale bass and not like a toy, but with the benefit of the short scale.

    My collection is getting too big and I don't really play it.

    £1300 delivered in a Hiscox hard case. Price negotiable for those of y'all that can come and view before transacting (NW3).

    I might be interested in swaps or p/x for pedals and SMALL cabs/amps/combos (i.e. MicroMark/PJ Double 4).

    Crypto-friendly - ETH/DOT/UNI/WOO, pretty much any ERC-20 that is top 200. Or bank transfer is fine.

    Available for Zoom if anyone wants to see it and get some more details.

    Thank you for viewing.

  4. Lovely sounding bass Andy! And nice playing too. Can't help but think it would get a bit more attention with a few nice pics though. I'd say a lovely bass like that deserves to do a bit of a photo shoot no? The photos up top there are not really doing it any justice. If I were in the market for a high end 5 string like this, I'd really want it to make a great first impression, to be really sold to me from the start. Just my two cents :)

    GLWTS bud!

    Just to add that this is a top notch bass - I have a 5 string version and its just pure awesomeness to the point where I would never, ever, EVER sell mine.

    So come on folks - take advantage of this guys' insanity and grab yourself the best bass you will ever own :)

    This is probably the warwick of my dreams but I dont have any funds and also live across the pond. Best of luck with the sale.

    I had a five and it was beautiful - if it had been a 4,I'd still have it. Tremendous playability and tone

    Thank you, thank you, thank you.

    A lovely example of a coveted bass up for grabs here, my little bass monkies.

  6. I still remember this bass well from a trip to The Gallery. I went there looking for some inspiration as to what my new main bass should be. On that day I played, amongst others, a couple of Wals (including Pino's), a Pedulla, a MM Stingtray or 2, a Sandberg, some Seis... but this was my favourite. It remains one of the top few basses I've played, so light, so well balanced and gorgeous to play. The guy in the shop really likes it too. If I hadn't been introduced to ACG customs around that time, I would have had this. The only reservation I had was it doesn't appeal to me aesthetically. But if the look of this tickles your fancy, buy it. It's fantastic.
