ACG build


ead
 Share

Recommended Posts

Well this is my first custom build (Mrs ead has helpfully pointed out that it may coincidentally be my last too :( ).

I went up to Moffat on Friday where Alan very kindly spent a lot of time with me offering helpful advice and generally being very patient. What a top bloke, so easy to deal with and made the whole process very enjoyable and informative.

The final spec is as follows:

4-string Fretless (unlined) J Type Custom (nearly went for a Finn, but Alan's Jazz body felt slightly more comfortable when I was trying out a few of his excellent basses before making my choices).

Body: Butternut, with Mahogany top and a Sycamore accent
Neck: 5 piece Maple/Wenge
F/B: Al Mec Ebony 20" radius
Pickups: 2 x Humbuckers
EQ: ACG EQ03 A/P (awesome bit of kit that I feel I will need to "grow into")
Brass bridge, black hardware

I'll update with pics etc as and when they are available.

I feel you may have me confused with somebody else there Peter...and after a brief bit of googling I now see why! I have inadvertently become associated with Extended Audio Design, but sadly our only common theme appears to be Chorley as I'm a Barefaced abuser, although I did enjoy playing through Alan's EAD cab.

Coincidental, two EADs from fine Chorley. It'll be a fine bass too even if it's not from, err..... Chorley :D
