ead Posted August 4, 2016 Author Share Posted August 4, 2016 Thanks for the comments all. [quote name='ras52' timestamp='1470310698' post='3104968'] Ooh, lovely P... what are the controls? [/quote] It's a an ACG/East P Retro. So the first stack is volume/tone (active and passive tone); the second stack is more complex being a mid boost in one direction and a bass and treble boost in the other. There's also a pull for bright function and an active passive switch. [quote name='Painy' timestamp='1470310284' post='3104963'] That's a lovely looking pair! Fnaaar Is that actualy a split coil p-type pickup under the soapbar or is it just a humbucker in the p position? [/quote] It's a real live split coil. A bit over-wound too so very punchy.

skelf Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Also has a bass boost on the push/pull on the active stack. Pull bright on the volume/tone when in active mode. Four options regarding bass boost frequency plus level selected internally. Yes it is a split coil and in this case with Alnico magnets rather than the ceramic I normally use.

The-Ox Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Fantastic! With that P bass, does it go down as a standard spec or custom? Would love to hear full treble on that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ead Posted August 6, 2016 Author Share Posted August 6, 2016 I started out as a Standard spec then I started asking for extras so it morphed into a sort of Custom/Standard hybrid. Picking ti up tomorrow so hopefully I'll get some quality bass time in the evening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ead Posted August 7, 2016 Author Share Posted August 7, 2016 Both basses now safely in my possession. Absolutely delighted with both of them, Alan has absolutely nailed the sounds I wanted (despite my medioce efforts trying to describe what I was after). Graham, not sure about the multicoil pickups, there's a lot of info on the ACG website but I did see anything specific about magnets although I was skimming the text pretty quickly. In case you haven't seen it, here's the link: http://www.acguitars.co.uk/acg_admin/wordpress/basses/pickups/ just go down the page a bit.
