I'd just like to say, Duncan it's been a pleasure. I'm hoping that the Gallus finds a good home in the Netherlands. I've bought and sold quite a few basses to bass chatters in the EU and you have been typical in the respect of a courteous and pleasant experience. Peter

My Salace has won my heart. I've owned may basses and i've never played better and the PM pickup configuration is bliss. I need to get some decent light to take some of my own photos. I'll shut up now: [url=http://peterb4407.smugmug.com/Other/SmugShots/20297576_MJZnTm#!i=1641756497&k=mXHSQZM&lb=1&s=A][/url] [url=http://peterb4407.smugmug.com/Other/SmugShots/20297576_MJZnTm#!i=1641756482&k=RBddNB4&lb=1&s=A][/url] [url=http://peterb4407.smugmug.com/Other/SmugShots/20297576_MJZnTm#!i=1641756473&k=MDsBzTQ&lb=1&s=A][/url]

Whooaa Rita returns Very nice too, has she aged well?

Stunning woodiness. Mmmmm ebony Peter

If you're thinking in terms of bass, treble and mid then it's my opinion (for what it's worth) that you need to cast away such notions when using filter based pre-amps. I've said this before but with a 2 or 3 EQ you tweak your tone, with a filter pre you create it. Just my thoughts

[quote name='waynepunkdude' timestamp='1325531040' post='1484084'] That's a better song than any other of The Weather Report's stuff. [/quote] How do you spell 'phillostine' ? Birdland vs 'It's raining Men'. Halleluya

Mark at Bassdirect may be your man too. Peter

Behaviour may be fact but maybe motive "and do feel that he's just sticking 2 fingers up at me" is conjecture so given the above it would be good if the thread doesn't deteriorate the way these kind of threads often do. The guy may be ill, if not physically then mentally, he may have other problems that put a gig bag return into a low priority issue. He may not be the biggest deviate since Jack the Ripper. I hope it's sorted soonest.

I'm surprised you need to ask. Headless of course

I'd just like to add in here that I'm serious about looking for a TRB5 (P) at 34" scale or even a TRB 4 at a push. I've both a Clover Expression 15.5 and an ACG Gallus Graft 5 that I'd consider trading as well as cash. Did I post any pics of my 6P? Great basses Peter

Basically its a sovereign. All is explained here: http://basschat.co.uk/topic/163148-you-cant-beat-a-bit-of-acg-holly-at-christmas/page__hl__salace__fromsearch__1

[quote name='fretmeister' timestamp='1324647535' post='1476632'] My word that is a good looking thing!! Would it be improper to ask what such an instrument would cost? [/quote] You'd need to speak with Alan but less than you might think Peter

The gap between the pickups places them close to the traditional. The electronics are active only as I've not wanted switches on the body preferring a cleaner look (I carry a spare battery too) but there is a passive tone knob (that works in active mode), bass, treble, treble boost pull and sweepable mids as well as active blend and of course volume. The pup output is strong, particularly the P at the neck. Thank you for the kind comments, Alan has excelled himself. It's my 4th ACG and he gets better if that's possible. Nice touches ooze from the bass. The wood combo was a shared decision with Alan. The walnut is really light too and the bloodwood accent works well being thicker than most at 4mm. The birdseye maple board has blossomed in colour too. The truss rod cover is really a nice touch with the ACG logo. It's mounted with a wee magnet Peter

I've been playing it a lot today. I've owned many basses, too many perhaps if that's possible. This is I think the nicest playing bass of them all. Peter

It's an oft used adage but the bass really is better in the flesh. With the P and MM pickups it really is ballsey in a traditional way that belies the modern look. Best of both worlds Peter

She's all done and quite stunning imo [url="http://peterb4407.smugmug.com/Other/SmugShots/20297576_MJZnTm#1641756497_mXHSQZM-A-LB"][/url]

I'm over the moon with the pictures Alan from ACG Guitars sent me today. I'm off to Moffat tomorrow to collect my salace. The specs are: [i]Black Walnut body with American Holly top and 4 mm Bloodwood accent. 5 piece Wenge/Bloodwood neck with Acrylic Impregnated Birdseye finger board. ACG RFB and PB pickups in a single Bloodwood ramp. East U-Retro pre-amp. The pickups are a P and an MM housed in the one wooden casing, electronics are a John East U-Retro Deluxe. Spacing is 15mm and scale length 34".[/i] The coin is a sovereign, set into the body. It was My late Mum's and I wanted to have it somewhere I would remember her regularly. The whole bass is spec'd with her in mind.

Re the EQ also get used to what the 5 way switch does for your tone and use it as opposed to tweaking the EQ once it's in the 'ballpark'. If you find the strap lock screws a bit loose and likely to rip out it's no biggie (my Sterling has chrome Schallers fitted from new). Simply shave down a matchstick or two and insert them into the hole with some PVA glue and you have a secure and invisible repair.
