Awesome bass, and awesome playing Meester Spoombung :)

Thanks, Eude. The only mistake I made with the spec was not thinking about where the dots on the side go, so the bass is back with Alan and I've asked him to move the dots under the fretmarkers rather than having them in the middle. It's amazing how bad my eyes are now, I'm sorry to say. I just cannot see the fretlines in anything but bright sunlight so I'll have to rely on the dots. Visual guides have become more of a priority in my middle age. I didn't anticipate that. :(

Not a huge mistake mate, I guess that's quite a minute detail in the grand scheme of things, one I would probably overlook myself, so I'll keep that in mind. Dots, lines or otherwise, you can really make that bass sing mate :)

Number 29 ... one of a pair of ACGs ( the other being 37 ) I own ....cheers Martin !


A link here i hope ....http://www.acguitars.co.uk/Gallery/162/



Total joy ...a neck that just fits ..unbelievable tones .. and superb build quality. feels as good if not better than anything Ive ever played, including some hugely expensive US custom guitars ........... looks imho to die for ....which allways polarise the " is it a Fender ?" people ....Odd wierd ohh coffee table .. beautiful ... what is it .... wow .... :D

One of the basses i take to the grave .....doesnt stop me thinking that an 03 preamp might not make it just that lil bit more .........ha .....

Does it all ......earth shaking lows to sizzling hifi treble ... and with not a whisper of hiss .. Oh and the mids .... oh the mids ....

Alans guitars should and need to be in everyones list of Basses to play before ya die ......

Thanks to Alan for having a vision .. and the skills ability facility determination & focus .....Scotlands finest ( and Im Welsh and i saw Kenny Dalgleish play football ) .

Find one , commission one ..buy one or sell that kidney ..........You wont regret it ....dare to be different ....
