    I have these left over from my time as a luthier. Do they just last or do they go off?
  2. Owen
    You can read me like a book.

    Ban this sick filth!!

    I have one of these. So very, very useful. If nothing else, a superb headphone practice rig.

    By now a Hellborg preamp and a Sadowsky floor unit. But I have had to try them all. I have not played through a Simone. But the Monique was very, very lovely. I no longer own it because I cannot play without earplugs. So any of that luscious detail is lost on me. I like other people, but not enought to treat them to a fabulous thing they would not notice becuase of Mr Drummer and the Guitarmageddon.

    He covers an awful lot of sonic space and anchors their work beautifully. And all with a pick and a fuzz box!

    Not as many as I have in my Logic track full of different preamps. many of which are very lovely with fine detail and stuff. Until Mr Drums (and it always is Mr) appears. Or the Guitarmageddon happens. Or, frankly, the mix engineer gets in there and does the eq and compression for the track thing.

    It is so much more than an overdrive. It is a lovely, lovely front end. But yeah, that resetting thing. I know it and it makes me sad. It has guided my gear choices quite radically in the past 5 years.

    I used to have a Monique. It did things to the sound that nothing else I have found does. The saturation it delivered made my bass sound 3D. And this was while A/Bing it in the same room as a Demeter Pre and and Avalon U5. They each had their merits, but the Monique was the one for me at the time. I believe that the Simone is designed to do the same thing.

    It is going to be released. You can have it in this colour, 3T SB, Andromeda or Natural. That is it. Which is just as well because I was tying myself in knots working out whether to go with this or metal flake orange with matching headstock.

    I had one on an MM5. Nice and crispy it was.

    I have a locking jack on two basses. I wish I did not.

    Back off everyone. I am taking this. PMd.

    It would seem so. I saw it here. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1530160554033915&id=528736090843038&m_entstream_source=timeline

    I cannot deny that I have inquired.

    Oooooooof! Get a load of THAT!

    I thought it would draw people in

    Check me out with my extreme luthier speak. Catch me on my multiple build threads in the Wood Whisperer forum.

    I just measured it again and it is 35" from nut to witness point on the G. Longer on the B.

    If it makes a difference I can print one up and glue it on. It weighs 9.7lbs and here are some fretless neck pics.
  22. Owen
    I bet the snare sounded epic in there!

    If I can sell one neck screwed onto the body and another neck on its own I would be happy to do so. But I would need to sell a complete instrument first. Neck 300, complete instrument £1100. Everything together £1350 This bass will offer you the best of both worlds. Fretless and fretted. It comes with two necks. Fitted with Allen bolts and threaded inserts on the necks so changing is literally a 10 minute job. It has all you would expect from ACG. That magic preamp, top notch woodwork. Lovely smooth finish. Very tactile. The scale length is 35". Here are some pics from the ACG site with the fretted neck on it. https://www.acguitars.co.uk/project/018jtype5/ I will do some pics in fretless mode later on this evening. The fretless is a lovely flat piece of Ebony. All the hardware is lightweight and black. I am guessing hipshot, but I really do not know. Again I will check later on. Is it in perfect nick? Nothing ever is, but I have had a really good look and cannot find any blems. As usual, if it is all that, why am I selling it? It is WAY more fretless bass lusciousness than I will ever be able to use. To make fretless sing properly I would have to practice. Those days are WELL over. I know this in my heart, but once every 5 years I forget and buy a nice fretless. It happened again. I like to think that if nothing else, I am consistant. It does lovely fretless stuff. I do not. I could keep it as a fretted, but the last thing I need in my life is yet another good 5 string (although I could be persuaded to p/x + cash for an MTD 5 string). I have tried it, and it is great as a fretted as well (lovely flat fingerboard radius). I just do not need it. Priced fully insured to your door.

    Bargainous!

    I said it before and I will say it again. In cab world, these sit in an extraordinarily sweet spot.
