dmckee Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 (edited) ACG made around 2012 I think. Bass is on Alan's website here: [url="http://www.acguitars.co.uk/acg_admin/wordpress/portfolio/g019-j-type-fretless-4/"]http://www.acguitars...ype-fretless-4/[/url] American alder body finished in “grunge black”, 3 ply parchment/black scratchplate, 3 piece maple neck with Indian ebony unlined fingerboard (dots on side at fret positions), birdseye maple headplate with black veneer accent. 2 ACG FB humbuckers, Hipshot bridge, Gotoh tuners. Previous owner had the passive EQ upgraded to active 3 band Audere preamp, so controls are stacked volume/blend, stacked treble/bass, stacked hi mid/lo mid. Beautiful bass, in excellent condition. Some very light marking on the fingerboard from the roundwounds I have on it but very superficial. Only selling as I just accidentally bought another fretless here and want to stick to my one in one out policy! Based in Edinburgh, collection preferred, no trades please as I have already replaced it, gig bag included if wanted.

Used to be mine this one and sorely tempted to buy it back again. Edited September 8, 2016 by ead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

giblett123 Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Seriously good price for one of these, Alan builds some lovely basses, if only I hadn't already overspent on GAS.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloc Riff Nut Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Is it possible to show the wear on the fretboard(from roundwounds)? I have it's 5string cousin and this is giving me an itch I can't scratch. Bump for a beauty! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmckee Posted September 12, 2016 Author Share Posted September 12, 2016 (edited) Here's a pic. Not that easy to show! They're very much surface only - you can barely feel the at all. I actually had the board reshot by Chris McIntyre - it wasn't totally true, but it is now - and these lines reappeared almost the instant I started playing again. They don't affect its playability at all. They're D'Addario EXP Nickelwounds that are on it just now btw. Cheers, Dave.
