    ACG build

    Latest update from Alan [attachment=117816:Neck in pocket 090912.jpg]
  2. Heads of agreement reached so sold pending formalites.
  3. Cheers andybassdoyle, you are clearly a man of considerable wisdom.
  4. [b]Last chance before ebay...[/b] As it says really. Gauges are 45 65 85 105. Brand new un-opened set, came with my subscription to BGM and I'm strictly a flatwound or nickel string user.. £12.50 posted mainland UK Thanks for looking.
  5. This is one of the first batch of these highly regarded basses that I have owned from new. Being in the first batch it was QA'ed and set up by Chris and the Overwater team in the UK. I've had it for about 18 months now and really enjoy playing it. Only reason for sale is the forthcoming purchase of an ACG bass and as such it must sadly go as part of the fund raising process. As you can see the finish is a lovely trans black with maple neck and pearloid inlays. The bass is active with a John East 2-band EQ (plus a 'pull for bright' function on the volume knob). The bass is in excellent condition with no marks/dings that I can see and has been lovingly looked after whilst in my possession. Full spec on the Overwater site. I'm looking for £400 ovno for the bass. This includes a good quality padded gig bag and a spare set of Overwater Nickel strings light gauge (same as it was supplied with). For £25 more a Gator hard case can be had.
  6. +1 The advice I got from Alex was very good, although I nearly went for the 2 x Compact set-up.
  7. I'm completely sold on my Compact/Midget set up. I play in a 2 guitar/bass/drum band doing anything from melodic accoustic to heavy bluesy rock and the BF cabs cope easily. My amp is also considerably 'turned down' using the BF cabs from where it was for my previous Ashdown pairing of a 2x10T plus a 1x15. Much easier to hear and a lot clearer and defined sound. Get one!
  8. Sorry to hear that, rough deal. No experience myself of this kind of treachery!
  9. [quote name='Dr.Dave' timestamp='1346437277' post='1789309'] That's the one - I went to the 4th Aug show , the first one of the two. [/quote] ..and I was at the second show. Small world.
  10. [quote name='Paulgm1' timestamp='1346360142' post='1788426'] Gillan - Southampton Gaumont with John McCoy on bass. All I remember is it being bloody loud! [/quote] A fine venue, spent many a gig there when I was at the Uni. Memorable gigs included The Who, Thin Lizzy, Peter Gabriel, The Tubes...
  11. Elton John touring the Yellow Brick Road album in Genoa (we were living in Italy at the time) in 1974 iirc.
  12. These look pretty cool too. Just wondering if I can afford a set or two? [url="http://dknob.com/index.html"]http://dknob.com/index.html[/url]
  13. Wasn't Alan Jackson a bass player? If not him I'm sure one of the brothers was...
  14. Just acquired some pre-loved TI JF345s from David. Everything as it should be, plenty of PMs, happy camper here. Deal with confidence.
  15. Does anybody have any experience with this Overwater Aspiration - it even has J/J p/ups. If they are anything like the rest of the range they will be excellent value at £230.

  16. Couldn't find the bass I was checking out on the Japanese site either. A combination of all sems the best bet!
  17. Just acquired a nice Yamaha BBN5 from Chris. Top bloke to deal with, very helpful and quick to respond to my daft questions. Highly recommended to y'all.
