Recently bought this from Grant on here.
I really wanted to love it, because its size would mean less shoulder pain on the heavier weekends of gigging i have.
But after trying to get my head (and hands ) around it for 4 days, i am not gelling with it.
"Why not take more time to get used to it". I just don't have that luxury tbh.
I need a bass i can potentially gig with straight away, and this one will take me too long to be "gig ready".
So this is your chance to own a custom made bass guitar from one of UKs top luthiers.The ACG is a 26.5" scale bass, with standard tuning.Unbelievable work from Alan at ACG.The work is absolutely top notch. Which is another reason i wanted to give this a try. I know the standards of Alans work.The ACG pre amp filter on board gives you all the tonal variety you could possibly need. And it has a passive/active switch too.At £1250 this is a massive saving on buying one brand new. And it is in A1 condition.Here is the exact spec:Top Wood: Fractal WalnutBody Wood: White LimbaBody Finish: Satin LacquerNeck Wood: 5 piece Maple/MahoganyFinger Board: WengeScale: 26.5″Neck Finish: Satin LacquerPickups: ACG RFB humbuckerHardware: Hipshot Type B Bridge 17mm spacingGotoh GB350 Resolite tuners Dunlop Dual Design StraplocksCustom Newtone stringsPre-amp: ACG/East P-Retro with Active/PassiveTrials are welcome.I can send it via courier, but its at the buyers expense and risk.Any questions, give me a shout
Pictures are from Grants post, but its obviously in the exact same condition- 3

Would now look at combos and cash adjustments my way.
Top quality bass cabinet from Bergantino.
If you want the official spec and spiel, its here:Bergantino Audio Systems HD Series HD212 Speaker Cabinet For Bergantino Audio it all starts with the High-Definition HD series of bass guitar speaker cabinets. The cabinetry on the HD series employ a precision tuned cabinet architecture and the enclosures are built with the finest 100% Baltic birch plywood available. The HD series are covered in traditional tolex for durability (no more carpet fuzz for your cat to claw) and they all employ a rigid black grille to protect the drivers.
The internal components used are extremely high quality and they are of Bergantino design. No ‘off-the-shelf’ parts are used. Woofers have ceramic magnets w/ vented pole pieces and the low-end on this series of cabinets is full and round – they can handle high power output from your amplifier. The HD series have remained a favorite of finger style and pick players because of the tight-creamy low end found with these cabinets. Each of the HD series cabinets has a high intelligibility tweeter mated to the woofers through a custom designed phase-coherent crossover with a tweeter control. Bergantino HD series cabinets are not as heavy as some of the other cabinets available, but will produce a more accurate, full-bodied and authentic representation of your bass guitar in live and studio settings.
Woofers: 2-12” Ceramic Magnet Woofers w/ Vented Pole Pieces
Tweeter: High Intelligibility HD Series Tweeter

It's in great condition as its been protected by the cover.
One of the corners has got marks, which i've included in the photos.
Sounds immense in a band setting.
Can be couriered at your cost. Will be well packaged.
Ideally would prefer a trade for something smaller and lighter with a cash adjustment my way.
Trials welcomed. Any other questions give me a shout.

This is probably a Highway 1. The Highway One models had a Badass fitted. How can that not be clear & not at all confusing! 😆🤪😆
Nice Bass, especially with the black plate on. GLWTS
Ive just been told on a different selling platform, by the original owner, that it is a Highway One.
She changed the bridge herself.
Just for clarity
I dont know if thats better or worse for me 🤣 -

Sweet bass man! Shame you aren’t anywhere near Glasgow 😭..
I think this bass should have the Badass2 bridge with it. I have the 07 highway one Jazz and it has it..
Yup, apparently so.
I can only say, it was like this when i got it. -

Only when we have to learn a first dance request - which is rare now that we charge £150 per song to learn.
Couldn't be doing with weekly rehearsal.
Yeh we have started doing the same.
It ended up like we were only rehearsing to learn 1 song we would never play again. -
If we are in a busy period (April - September) when we are gigging most weeks, we very rarely practice.
In the quieter periods we will usually do two a month at a push.
I think its been mentioned above, but the key is when everyone agrees to learn a song, post the version of the song you intend to learn in the forum of communicating you use (FB, whats app , slack etc), then you have to learn it. Its really that simple.
It is for us anyway.
Guess it means relying on everyone in the band pulling their weight and having trust in each others musical abilities. -

This is a Fender precision USA Highway One
Made in 2008.
Thanks for the info on that Karl.
It's in great condition as you can see from the photos. Couple of light blemishes, but really nothing too bad at all.
Sounds exactly like you'd expect a P bass to sound!
Currently strung with flats.
Comes with spare torte pick guard, that I quite like too.
Apparently these are meant to come with a different bridge. I don't have the original, only this one.
Neck is pretty slim. Definitely not like a baseball bat.
Happy for you to come try it out.
Can courier, but at the risk of the buyer!
Any questions, give me a shout.

@triplebass @greenolive If youre both keen do you want to set up a group thread?

Maybe message some of the guys further up who initially showed an interest in one

Hi
If you can organise someone to buy the second one.
Ive had a few people say they want one, then drop out, so i'm not going to chase that.
Would prefer to sell both together.
If you can get another buyer though, ill do it.
And postage to Brussels is fine if you're happy to pay for that

Ill weight it for you later.
Regarding the fingerboard, im not sure.
Id have to guess, and i dont want to do that.
Can anyone help?

Not being able to tune by ear anymore after becoming reliant on a tuner.
Not the end of the world, but the battery went on my tuner a couple of gigs ago and i realised how utterly useless at it i'd become! -

Hey dude, what’s the back of the neck like on this bass? I’m trying to find another jazz from this era was a spotless neck as most I’ve played have had loads of dings in the back but I love the gloss finish on the back of the neck on this era of jazz bass. Please let me know!
There is the tiniest dink in the lacquer at around the 12th fret. Its bizarrely in the shape of an 8, and about 8mm in length and 3 mm wide. Its so feint, i cant capture it in a photo.
Other than that its great. Certainly not loads of dings. -
Fender MIJ Jazz, according to serial number made 1984-1987.
Pretty sought after period of Jazz basses if you do your research.
I took this in a trade. I wanted a jazz bass because i've wanted to like jazz basses. Really wanted to!
But i dont. So maybe this is for you?
For a 30ish year old bass its in great condition.
Ive tried to highlight the marks that are on it by including them in some photos as best as i can. But generally as i said, its in great condition.
Plenty of life left in the truss rod.
It comes with an old and used hard Gewa case. Still perfectly functional.
Also comes with original (i assume) pickguard.
And the original pickups. I dont know if they work. I was told they do, but ive never tried them, as the Fender noiseless in them work fine!
Youd be welcome to come to my house and try it through mine or your rig.
I will post it, but it is at your own risk!
Any questions, just ask.
I dont know how to put photos in my post.
But they are all in this IMGUR folder:

Feels like a guitar in your hands.
Sounds like a bass should.
Love the pickup and the ACG pre. Gives you so much tone versatility.
