That blue Buzz...sloo!

It is nice indeed. But given I only play my basses for a couple of hours a week in the house now, it seems a little frivolous to have two fretted fours, especially when I am listening to so much fretless stuff at the moment. Hence I would invite those offers for nice fretless basses...already had a very tempting one!

bump, I've recently had a bit of a ditty on my basses though I've not been playing them much, I would quite like a fretless and this is my fancy for this week so I would invite offers for trades of fretless as well as the other items stipulated. Chris

I took a few pictures of the ACG today, apologies as I had to take them in my little brother's room, which is a tip, as my basses are still at my mam and dad's house (suffice to say once I'm finished redecorating my new house my amp will be in the front room and my basses hanging on the wall).

In a sense, you can see it's not really unlike a jazz bass here in that the bridge is slightly offset from your body which means it's not a stretch to the first position and it will feel fairly familiar to most bassists pretty quickly. As you can see, the neck also hangs at a handy angle and doesn't dive. I'm currently in two minds as to whether or not I want to get rid of this. A 6 string would suit me for a gig I've had an offer on, but I have been thinking of getting back to fretless playing as well. Having two fretted 4 string basses seems frivolous at the moment when I can't afford to indulge my main passion (cars) because of buying a house. To that end, I certainly can't go spending more money on another bass. But I shall keep the advert up and see what comes along. Anyone with a 6 string or a fretless who fancies a trade, give me a shout.

I would change the preamp first mate, MEC's are pretty good pickups! Plus with a Tonepump bass you'll be used to effortless grunt from the bass preamp. Mind you, of all the NS basses I've played over the years (Spector and Warwick), my Ltd Edition 1990 Streamer is still the best of the lot. What a f***ing corker that bass is!

This has quite taken my fancy. Just sounds fantastic. I'm not a huge 'tobacco burst' fan but it is growing on me. Yum.

I remember seeing Mark (Funkyhobbit) play this bass in person at Howard's Bass Place. It sounds fantastic.

Well John, I'm not sure of the weight but I believe it to be somewhere around 8 pounds. When I pick up my Streamer afterwards, the streamer feels noticeably heavier and the neck a little more divey. Mind you, I still find the Streamer very manageable. The weight of the ACG is surprising, especially for a singlecut. Ideally I'm after a Yamaha TRB or a Thumb. A straight sale would be useful but in terms of the all the money changing hands over my house at the moment £1000 is not a great deal. It's not going to be the difference between me moving in one week and the next, say, so I'd rather keep that money tied up in a nice bass. Something I can hang on the wall when I've moved! I would be open to any trade offers though, I'd give consideration to any item. Give me a PM about the Warwick and Spectors, John!

Nightshift bump.
