[quote name='ead' timestamp='1356006406' post='1905543'] Partly guilty although my made for me bass will cost less than the US made Fenders, and I am having lessons... [/quote] Your ACG will help inspire you to greater things AND as you say, less than a mass produced and very basic US Fender

[quote name='Ghost_Bass' timestamp='1355939563' post='1904844'] Pretty much every single thing that comes with this logo attached: [/quote] Nowadays and sometimes perhaps, but go back 20 + years and you'd be so wrong.

Nice one, looking forward to the update on that one. Which one in Alan's gallery is it? Peter

[quote name='molan' timestamp='1355788012' post='1902883'] Funnily enough the greatest disappointment I've ever had with a bass was a Kingbass, lol. I was really looking forward to owning one but pretty much from the moment I took it out of it's case I disliked it, I literally couldn't find a single thing about it I liked Reason for saying this is not to criticise your choice but just to emphasise the great thing about basses is that we're each looking for something different and personal and the world would be a very boring place if we all wanted the same thing I guess I've had a few basses over the years that have massively exceeded my expectations but then something else has come along that was just that bit better again. Have been pretty settled with a '63J and a Ritter Cora for a while now but recently picked up a GB Spitfire (by accident!) that really surprised me and I've been playing it a lot - I bought it to modify and sell but was so surprised at how it sounded and felt to play that I've hung on to it for a bit [/quote] Many years ago I bought a Kingbass on BassWorld. I couldn't get on with it at all. Beautifully made it was an ergonomic nightmare. I traded it for a Rickenbacker and the new owner moved it on straight away. All my ACGs have matched or exceeded my high expectations. The trouble is my expectations keep going up every time I visit Moffat

Happy Birthday and enjoy the ACG Pre. I've a ACG03 on order I perhaps need to add that these are only available with a wood surround

I've a LM tube (the 500 with the analog power amp). Mines paired with an EAD Foundation 212 and sounds kinda awesome.

[quote name='BetaFunk' timestamp='1355762639' post='1902370'] I can only see the Mahogany bodied 302 which is £950 on their website. [/quote] I played one on Saturday and it was definitely £513.00p It had some wear but played and sounded beautifully. Give em a ring and ask for Gary.

Promenade Music have one in that's rather nice. It's a 302A and they want £513 for it.
