Ian Davies Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 (edited) Up for sale is my hand made custom 6 string single cut ‘Recurve Classic’ ACG bass. I’m sure a lot of you know Alan’s amazing work and this bass is a fine example of that, fantastic in every detail, playability and sound. I received delivery of the bass in July of this year and the cost of it when first commissioned in May 2012 was £1700. I can honestly say that I have played the bass only a handful of times and it’s never been out of the house, let alone a rehearsal or gig. So the bass is really in ‘perfect as new’ condition. So why am I selling this great bass? Well, I seemed to have amassed quite a collection of basses recently and I really need to thin the heard, also I’m not sure I’m a 6 string player, which is a shame as this bass sounds amazing and for me it would of been great as a 5 string. For Sale price is £1300 I’m happy to post if you pay the P&P or you can collect, I’m in the Surrey/South London area. Definitely looking for a straight sale, so no trades thanks. This is a great chance to get hold a custom bass at a nicely reduced price and without the year long wait. You’re very welcome to come over and try the bass and any questions please do ask. Thanks for looking Here are the official pics...

Can be seen on the ACG website here: [url="http://www.acguitars.co.uk/acg_admin/wordpress/portfolio/0134-recurve-classic-6/"]http://www.acguitars...urve-classic-6/[/url] As I shall be going abroad in October for some time, this bass will only be on sale until the end of September.

giblett123 Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Stunning example of a great bass at a great price, these things are amazing & I love my ACG to bits and if I had the spare cash....., probably cost a fair bit more than £1.7K new now as well, someone will pick up a bargain here!

rumour6 Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Have a Recurve 5 F/less. these are the best electric basses I've played. The asymetric neck is joyous, build quality is as good as it gets and the preamp is the only one I've used that blows away my Wals. Whoever buys this will be WAAAYYYY impressed.. unless it's a current ACG owner, who will smile knowingly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Davies Posted September 23, 2013 Author Share Posted September 23, 2013 I do have some serious interest in the bass but nothing confirmed as yet. I’ll keep the bass open for sale until the end of this week, then I’ll have to withdraw it as I’ll be away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flippyfloop Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Do you know the weight ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Davies Posted September 26, 2013 Author Share Posted September 26, 2013 (edited) Hi The bass is all packed up ready for shipping so I don’t have an exact weight but it’s probably around 9lb, which is very light for a 6 string. The balance is perfect which I personally find is just as important as the actual weight when using a bass. If you want an exact weight then let me know and I’ll do that for you. You’re very welcome to come over and try the bass. Cheers Ian Edited September 26, 2013 by Ian Davies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
