  1. Now that is a problem……🙏🏾 Quoting myself here: “You’ll know what’s best for you.” Custom made one with wings or a Dua Lipa ‘levitating’ model?🤣 Seriously speaking, hope you find a good one👍🏽🤞🏽
  2. No probs. You’ll know what’s best for you. Saying that…… I have always preferred solid feeling (heavy in some guy’s opinion) basses as they seem to sound ‘tighter/crisper/snappier’ etc… in my experience. Even for Fretless. I guess one possible compromise is weight..,but I’ve compensated throughout the years by better (wider/thicker) straps and if the bass itself does not balance well (again in my opinion…approx 45 degree hang), I’m always prepared to move strap pins! Very subjective topic I know🙄 40 years plus playing has hardened my spine on many levels (🤣🤣) I’ve played and owned a wide variety (not all sadly) of ‘factory’ made to ‘custom’ made from vintage to modern basses…and my view hasn’t changed. Stubborn? Set in my ways?🤷🏽‍♂️
  3. No working scale at home at the moment (wife rule), but if I remember correctly it’s not a super lightweight…maybe between 8-9lbs. sorry to be vague…
  4. Thinning is necessary but so painful! 😖🤕 Hopefully someone has a need/space for this beauty! Tough to see it go after getting it to an unbelievable playing state…but my fretless needs are well covered (ACG plug alert)!😎
  5. Unbelievable what this sounds like for the price….(not just lip service here🫤)
  6. Played and bumped! Continuum sounds like the real deal!!
  7. At it again!!!!!
  8. …still a mini slog but…. pm me details if possible please..
  9. Who does great brass nuts? And is near (ish) Aylesbury, Bucks? Hopefull🙏🏾
  10. A doable drive…. Don’t know Gary…. Care to share?
  11. Finding a local (within reason) to do is proving to be more difficult than I thought. Alan (ACG) is just too far! Move closer damnnit!! Just checked Bass Gallery……one week turnaround (two London trips)! Wowza! May have to pull out the pliers and a manual!
  12. Thanks for that. Its a US company…haven’t done that kind of transaction in a long while. I was hoping to use someone more local to me (a bit more local than that😂) But..in case, anyone with experience in cost/time/tax etc….for US shipping to the UK? Even with a small item like this…
  13. Need (want) a shiny brass nut on my ACG Finn 5 string. Mostly for aesthetic reasons (well aware of the use of metal vs the rest arguments…phew). Anyone recommended in the Buckinghamshire area ? I’m in Aylesbury. Also I cant seem to find any blanks in the approx size….W5.5mm, L47.8mm, H9.5-8.5mm
  14. Can’t stop marvelling at the versatility of this bass! Yep….good job Alan👍🏽
  15. Right….well someone’s in for a good deal then! Ain’t that so😉?
  16. Shame it’s still here…should be Jaco/Pino/Willis ..ing somewhere in the world!!
  17. Is this man Barry Allen???? The speed of response was astounding! Impressed and thus recommended!! 👍🏽😎
