With a very heavy heart and after a really grim past 12 months I find myself in a position where I must sell some basses to raise funds for a family health situation. Those that know me will realise how much of a wrench this is going to be, but two of the basses will be ACGs. So here goes: For sale is my 4-string Harlot bass. The specs and general info are here: [url="http://archive.acguitars.co.uk/portfolio/0218-harlot-4/"]http://archive.acgui.../0218-harlot-4/[/url] This is essentially a 24-fret bass with two split coils located in the 60s Jazz bass positions; what can I say I'm confused. The neck pickup has the alnico magnets and the bridge the cermic item. The John East Uni-Pre is massively flexible with active/passive switch and the tone control that works in both modes. Three band EQ with a variable mid control, so hugely versatile with a big range of tones. I gig all my basses and this one is no exception, I also look after thrm very well. It is however without any blemish I can see. These basses would have been around the £1,300 mark new and I am asking for a very reasonable £800 for this one, including a good quality gig bag. I would prefer to meet up if at all possible but will courier at cost if strictly necessary. Here are some pics. If you would like to see any detail please just ask. Thanks for looking. Forgot to add this bass is ludicrously light at under 7.5lbs by my scales.

Those that know me will realise how much of a wrench this is going to be, but two of the basses will be ACGs. So here goes: For sale is the first ever P Type (Precision) bass. The specs and general info are here: [url="http://archive.acguitars.co.uk/portfolio/0252-p-type-4/"]http://archive.acgui.../0252-p-type-4/[/url] This is essentially a 24-fret P bass with a maple board and an Alnico split coil pickup and a John East P Retro. The EQ has an active passive switch and the tone control works in both modes. It also has a bright and bass boost option, so very versatile is this bass.

Forgot to add this bass is pretty light at under 8.5lbs by my scales.

Ditto My post on Monday for two ACGs F/S disappeared :-( This could be the cause of the 'nothing sells on BC' problem

Due to some rather unfortunate news on the family health front I'm going to have to sell a few basses and generate some cash. Thise who know me will understand what a wrench selling these basses is going to be but needs must when the devil drives so to speak. All my basses get gigged but equally, they are all very well looked after so please buy with confidence and check my feedback. So here goes. First up is my [b]ACG P-Type 4-string[/b], the first of its kind for Alan. In immaculate condition and with a quality gig bag. Here are ACG's pics and specs: http://archive.acguitars.co.uk/portfolio/0252-p-type-4/ I have plenty of additional pics so please just ask if your interested. Quality bass, nice and light at under 8.5lbs by my scales, the active/passive EQ is very flexible too. Looking for £800 ex works. [attachment=252227:Slyder The Broadfield 21 Oct 16.jpg] Secondly is my [b]ACG Harlot 4-string[/b]. Also in immaculate condition with a good quality gig bag. Even lighter at just under 7.5lbs this one. ACG pics and specs here: http://archive.acguitars.co.uk/portfolio/0218-harlot-4/ I have plenty of additional pics so, as always, please ask. Looking for £800 ex works. [attachment=252225:Harlot 01 LR.jpg] [attachment=252226:att_2.jpg] I would prefer to hand over/meet in person if possible as these are custom builds rather than a more off the shelf variety of bass and I would like to ensure that you are happy with the bass. Thanks for looking

Why Do Some People On BC Seem To Have No Sense Of Humor
ead replied to Thunderbird's topic in General Discussion
Is the problem not that t'interweb has become the place vent one's spleen on any minor grievance from the safety of your terminal without all that troublesome problem of saying something less complimentary to somebody's face? We've all become closet Victor Meldrews. Anybody on here tried chatting to people on public transport? -
I used to own one of the older SR1500 with the slightly left-field EQ. Great bass for very little money, on my short(ish) list of "why on earth did I sell that" basses. Just saw the very same instrument up for sale again on evilbay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ibanez-SR1500-Bass-Guitar-/322612418641?hash=item4b1d32d851:g:lxcAAOSwMvtZRM5Q

There was one on Evilbay from the US that was on auction with a start of c.£885 and a BIN of around £1,150 iirc. Any idea why Fender never put lollipop tuners on this model?

I really don't think oxidation of the electronics over 7 years is a major concern unless it has been kept in a fish tank (with fish). You'll see immediately form the hardware if that has been the case). My 51 year old P bass works just fine. I have bought basses unseen and so far so good if you take some precautions as the boys and girls have been saying above.

I owned a Fenix P/J for a while. Nothing wromng with it at all, perfectly nice bass.

Pineapples banned by Reading and Leeds Festivals

Isn't all fruit banned in Scotland? -
Good knowledge, thanks for that.

Hi all For sale is this virtually new set of Sandberg standard fit s/steel roundwounds. The came on a new bass but as I prefer nickles I took them straight off without playing a note. The strings are cut for a 34"scale 4 in-line bass but had quite a few turns around the machines. Anyway, unused (but without original packaging) - at a very reasonable £12 posted UK mainland.
-
I think, for me at any rate, part of the fun is wondering who owned the bass before me and what was it used for. There are certain tunes, maybe some old blues standards, that I just get the feeling the bass knows this song. Over-sentimentalising of course

I'm fairly sure I made bad taste fashinable before then having given advice to Michael Foot on dress sense

Does anybody know what year Fender introduced white perloid pickguards for basses? Can't find anything on t'interweb. Thanks in advance.

The VM4 is the most recent addition, a bit of an impulse buy when I saw it with the non-reversed split coil pickup. Quite hard to chose between that one and the TT (passive). The VS isn't getting much of a look in at the moment though as the P pickup on the VM has it all covered. Sometimes, however, only a P bass will do
