Very nice! I like the flamed sycamore back too. The wood choices are great. Every bit of the bass feels magnificent. When I order my next ACG I plan to drive to Moffat to select the woods with the help of Alan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fatgoogle Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 When i have the money in the far future a single-cut is the only bass id want. Ive never played one but they look so damn good, Its what sells them for me. I dont see how you couldnt like them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoJoKe Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 I like that most are beautiful woods, but most look unbalanced and clunky, (though I accept the word of owners they are mostly not!), but I cannot help thinking that they are another fad. Nothing wrong with different, but I find other different things more aesthetically pleasing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's the chrome hardware? Surely the biggest gaffe on any bass with a natural finish! But it sounds just like a typical 'jazz on steroids' affair, and I expect something more exquisite from a boutique bass like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lowdown Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 (edited) I have had my RIM Basses Single cut about 5/6 years now. Plays and feels great - huge meaty output with tons of sustain. There has been no need to adjust the truss rod since i first got it. Rock solid. Only Bass i use other than my Lakland Fretless. Its really not worth knocking them until you have tried a few, all different of course. Looks have never bothered me, just playability and sound.
