This was from the Facebook public group. He was known as Scoop on here: Today is a sad day. I've kept this mostly to myself and haven't advertised the fact but in June I suffered a significant stroke which affected the left side of my body. I've not recovered as well or as quickly as I'd like and I'm not really able to play at a satisfactory level. In addition, last Friday I accepted a severance package from my employers, a charity. As a charity they weren't able to offer an enhanced deal so the financial package isn't significant. I need money. All bar a very few basses from my collection of 25+, including over 10 ACGs, will be delivered to Bass Direct for commission sale later today. It's heartbreaking but needs must.

The ACG version is different to the J East original in that the push/pull on the vol/tone stack is treble boost; the push/pull on the mids stack is bass boost (I think configurable, but not 100% on that bit). One switch is active/passive and the other coil switching for the split coil pick up. So unusual for BD to get the specs wrong

Since found out that these belong to a long-standing BCer who has had a serious medical situation. Very sad

Just you

A bunch of very tasty preloved ACGs have appeared on Bass Direct. Are they from anyone on here? https://bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/ACG_Finn_SH.html https://bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/ACG_J_Type_4.html https://bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/ACG_Retro_B_Maple.html https://bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/ACG_ReCurve_4_Fretless.html https://bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/ACG_Skelf.html

Just acquired a lovely bass from Daniel. Easiest of easy transactions and he was very helpful in supporting pickup arrangements. Top banana, deal in confidence folks.

It's a thought isn't it. Still messing around with control combinations. I've noticed that the impact of the tone on the mudbucker seems more limited compared to say a P bass tone control. How did you run the settings?

Just acquired some string from David. Top bloke to deal with, great comms and rapido delivery. Thankks very much.

Thanks Karl, good to know. Black might look cool on this particular bass.

I think the full fat Attitudes have a chunkier neck. This one doesn't feel greatly different to the neck on my Sandberg TT. Pretty slim basically, not quite Jazz bass but pretty close.

Unlike you, I have no shame Karl. The refin is actually better than described in the listing. It is starting to rub off in places but I'm not particularly bothered about that.

Just picked this up from EvilBay (from a guy who turned out to be a real star and definitely a seller I would buy from again of anything turned up that interested me). I have been wanting to own one of these for a while but always seem to either miss out or not have the funds at the moment when they appear. This one was originally Sea Foam Green but was re-finished by the owner in Lava Red. He has had it from new so I am in effect the second owner. Overall in great condition for a bass that has been used regularly over it's life. At some point it might need a new harness but everything else seems spot on. Will do some better pics in due course.

I would also agree. I much prefer my TT to the TM and Darkhawk. It fits in better with the music I play.

Also worth checking with Mark at Classic and Cool for any purchases, I've always had great service and very competitive prices from him.

On mine it is definitely a tone control in passive mode. From the centre detente turning anti clock that is (as if you're cutting treble boost).

Have you tried the bass in passive mode and rolled the tone off a bit? I have a California II Central with the Sandberg 3-band EQ which I imagine is what is fitted onto your Basic and that has the volume pull up for passive and the treble control then acts as the tone knob. I find that really warms up the tone..

Grizzly Bear pedal maybe?

I have a TT4 passive (the yellow TSBS artist roadworn one) and it's a cracking bass.

I use mine in a Dad rock covers band and an originals band that I'd say has a splash of Indie/Folk/Country in it. No issues at all.

Just purchased a softcase from Si. Great purchase at a very good price, thanks very much. Si also took the trouble to travel to meet up half way and this was much appreciated. Had a good chat, what a nice guy. Thanks again.

Jon just acquired some pickups from me. The easiest of easy transactions, thanks very much. Highly recommended BCers.
