  1. I have a new ACG build underway otherwise I'd have snapped this absolute bargain up.
  2. These guys have exceptional customer service.
  3. Newtone strings. Newtone Strings – British Handmade Guitar Strings I use light strings too and it was becoming harder and harder to get stock of my preferred DR Hi-Beams. Newtone have a custom set option where you can specify every detail including length. The SS option with round core sound and feel very similar to Hi-Beams.
  4. The Keeley compressor pro is the best I have ever used and this is a great price. Good luck.
  5. Always use a wired connection when possible. Note that most USB to Ethernet adapters are to be avoided.

    I'm in the final stages of agreeing a new build spec with Alan. I am left handed and did consider this bass but there are a few very specific features I wanted for my own build. Exciting times.
  7. Reading the manual I don't thing the button is a special bass button, I think it is a transpose button so when you press it it goes down 1/2 a step?
  8. Many tuners can be recalibrated to allow non-standard tunings. I am guessing that the bass setting on your tuner has been altered from concert pitch and needs to be reset. Layout 1 (snarktuners.com) Look for the Pitch Cal button.
  9. Yes it sounds like the bass setting has been changed and needs to be reset to concert pitch. I am guessing the bass button somehow changes the tuner sensitivity to make it better tune bass frequencies.
  10. Lovely playing. I really enjoyed that.
  11. Alan is incredibly well respected here. https://www.acguitars.co.uk
  12. I've used Emma Music in the past with no issues.
  13. I just received a Sadowsky preamp from them today. It looks like I can add Fenders to my basket and get to check out again. The only difference is the prices are shown as ex-VAT so there will be something to pay at the other end.
  14. I was just browsing Thomann and put a Fender Jazz into my basket only to receive a message that Fender won't allow them to ship to the UK.
  15. It was the heavy duty option I'm afraid. But remember I had the six string so the four string could be different.
  16. I installed a set of the same Bartolini pickups used in the MTD USA basses. The bridge was a drop in replacement but the neck was too big for the cavity and I had to do a bit of woodwork to make it fit.
  17. I have the six string version and the neck is the best I have ever played. I did replace the preamp with a Mike Pope and the pickups with Bartolinis which made a massive difference.
