I said I'd never use such things... BUT having had my custom ACG for nearly a year now, I do miss fret markers. Especially when playing on a neutral neck and playing a lot of chordal pieces towards the bottom end of the neck. I recently invested in some faux abalone fret markers made from some kind of 0.07mm thick wizard material. They look OK, they feel OK, they do absolutely serve the purpose of seeing where I'm at, but I'm still not convinced. Being a hard core stickler for originality, in pains me that these are on the bass, but they are definitely useful! Naturally I've applied them in the same position Alan tends to place his luminlay, just to make it feel slightly more like they've always been there!

Tony? Y Not!

A palindrome is spelt/read the same backwards and forwards!!! That's what the word palindrome specifically means! This logo is not spelt or read the same backwards as forwards. But it is an ambigram. Take your correction, God knows you like to dish out corrections enough!

A palindrome is spelt the same forward as backward, this is not that.

You mean ambigram sir, not palindrome.

The Happiest of Jack's sent me some jazz pups free-o-charge, they arrived and look rather mint! Canny say more than that! Happy Jack is yet another credit to BC. Cheers good sir!

PM incoming sir!

ACG and De Gier both do single cuts that have a very similar profile to that. Just without the nasty J pickguard and control plate!

Honestly though, I know the perfect bass for you...

Basses relic'd to look like someone else's bass. The second you put a tiny knock in it, or the player who it's modelled after puts a ding in their bass, the whole thing becomes pointless.

Frank was kind enough to drop off a strap to my doorstep free of charge! Can't ask for more than that! Another credit to Basschat, cheers good sir!

This would complete my collection! I have an A, N, K, E and R basses.

What does that even mean anyway? How can you play butter? And if you tried, you'd be a greasy mess! And what about vegans??? Can they play your greasy, melting, calorific bass?? If anything a bass could be described as playing like cheese, but butter? That just makes no sense! If your bass plays like overchurned cow squeezings, you probably have a duff instrument!

Put your bed on the lawn then take a photo of the bass on it. Just to píss off maximum people!

Pink keyboards and sunglasses, but only in combination, separately is fine.

Make it a 6 string and I'm all over it!

@Maude, you sure do have some strong (and wrong!) opinions! 😂 I jest, of course! All very much each to their own with all these things. The ergonomic carve, if done properly, is deeper than a top wood would cover. It would need to be an extremely thick piece of top wood for that to work, then the side profile would look odd as the top wood would be super thin over the cutout and ultra thick over the rest of the body. That design is a bit of a compromise to ergonomics, for me I like the contrast, but even if I didn't, having played my custom ACG with a deep ergonomic cutout, the function far outweighs the aesthetics. But, it's all very personal! No rights or wrongs etc.

I don't know what you're talking about...
