    A little demo of the TKO - this is bridge pickup only, tone around 50%. All the burble

    Showing off my new ACG, my growing belly and my inability to play fast:

    Bargain!

    Nah. Buy a bigger car

    Looking wonderful 🙂

    These are really good and can ape an SVT tone for home practice really nicely

    ABM600 Settings

    Merton replied to a topic in Amps and Cabs

    The valve drive in the ABM 600 is different from the earlier models. It has a lot more overdrive on tap and can get pretty gnarly if you push it hard enough with the input gain too. Certainly if you compare it with the valve drive on my EVO from 1999 it would feel like it has a lot more drive and dirt

    My Finn 5 has it too actually!

    It is. I’m not sure of the design thought behind it but it is very comfortable to play. Perhaps it’s a belly contour for when I’m striking a pose similar to the below 😀

    They are class D, most definitely

    Oooh me likey

    Yep, gorgeous. A good friend of mine was in Argentina recently and almost, almost, brought back a black one of these for me. We decided after working out import taxes etc it was going to get silly. For reference they’re about £1400 as a base price. They are gorgeous!

    Oh just gorgeous. I do love a black and maple P

    Just weighed all my basses. None are what I’d call heavy (heaviest is 8.2lbs) - the TKO is 7.9lbs

    NBBBD!

    Merton replied to Cosmo Valdemar's topic in Bass Guitars

    Happy birthday! Great bass

    Yep. Haven’t weighed it but it’s not far off my Finn 4 or Zoot Funkmeister which are the two lightest basses I’ve got.

    Thank you 😊 This is number 4 (or number 6, depending on if we’re counting two I’ve sold as well) 😳😳😳

    Weird, @eude and I were talking about Billy Gould's tone last night! Love that Zon

    It's absolutely perfect. No neck dive at all. No idea how Alan managed it!

    Feel the need to show off my latest in here. It’s exceptional.

    Strictly speaking this arrived yesterday, but I spent all day either in (virtual) meetings or annoying the neighbours with badly played Faith No More. So here it is. ACG TKO Classic - a non-standard model with a new finish Alan’s not done before - I think we can all agree he has done a bloody marvellous job. This was commissioned with a little inheritance I received following my final grandparent dying last year, and arrived two days after a good friend from Univeristy - who was a sometime-luthier - took his own life. He would have loved what Alan has created here and I will cherish it for both the memory of all my grandparents and Kieran. Not to mention cherish it because it is so damn good to look at and sounds exactly as I wanted - big, ballsy and huge but with a nice soft politeness if you wish. Limba body with an ash top, ash neck, rocklite board. 30.5” scale. Passive electronics volume/tone/pickup select including series and parallel options. Single coil in bridge, reverse P in neck. Immense. (Photos courtesy of @skelf)

    Happy (belated/early) birthday! Lovely bass
