It really is a beautiful piece of craftsmanship with an amazing tonal range and finish, but it just isn't quite right for me (too much of a change from my Rob Allen Deep Five and the Yamaha SLB 200 I just sold I guess) so I've decided to let it go. The bass is in very good condition. I have confirmed with Alan Cringean the history of the solvent blemishes (two areas one between the neck and bass pickup and another area near the neck on the top horn) and he confirmed that in his opinion they pose no long term issues. There are two very small indentations on the left side of the headstock that I missed when I bought it, they are very small and it is difficult to get them to show on a photograph. [b]Details (taken from Kevsy71's original post)[/b] Maple burl top on white limba body, with Acrylic Resin Treatment (ART) in Aqua Blue. 5 piece wenga neck with satin finish on back and maple pinstripe, and Luminlay markers. ART Maple burl fingerboard in Aqua Blue. Strung with DR Sunbeams 105 85 65 45. [b]Pickups and electronics[/b] ACG DFM pre-amp (see [url="http://www.acguitars.co.uk/acg_admin/wordpress/basses/electronics/"]http://www.acguitars...es/electronics/[/url] ACG MC4 multi-coil pickups (see 'MC series pickups' at [url="http://www.acguitars.co.uk/acg_admin/wordpress/basses/pickups/"]http://www.acguitars...basses/pickups/[/url]). Jack and XLR output. [b]Includes[/b] Lockable Hiscox hard case, with a few marks but no dents, cracks etc. Dunlop straplocks. Luminlay LED torch. I have also changed over the pole piece and pickup screws back to the original black and have just had the bass set up and checked over at the Bass Gallery in Camden. I would prefer if it were collected but I will ship the bass within the U.K. if necessary , using the courier of the buyers choice at cost. Payment by BACS transfer or cash.

Twincam Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Stunning probably my fav bass that's been for sale on here in a while. Looks a tone machine too. May I ask why it's not right for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassoDeProfundis Posted January 29, 2016 Author Share Posted January 29, 2016 Hi Twincam. It is an incredible bass, but to be honest I've found the change from my beautiful almost low tech Rob Allen to a piece of 21st century 'wizardry' a bit too challenging. As I don't gig anymore the Rob Allen is perfect as I don't even have to plug it in. It seemed a shame to me to consign the ACG to a box under the sofa for the foreseeable future - but it would probably have had to go sooner rather than later to assist in my planned move to Spain.

BassoDeProfundis Posted February 2, 2016 Author Share Posted February 2, 2016 Hi, change of mind on trades, I'd be prepared to consider a trade for a Jazz type bass or something similar (something to remind me of my early bass playing days), cash adjustment either way. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
