28mistertee Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 (edited) Really still not sure I want to do this but as much as I try I don't get on with 5 strings, I even have a 4 stringer tuned BEAD for this reason. Bought this off fellow Basschatter Andy, a stunning bass with a huge range of tones just a shame for it to be here collecting dust. Just been set up by my luthier, plays great. [color=#919191][font=Oxygen][size=3] [font=inherit][size=1] [size=4][color=#000000]Body in Black Limba with a Flamed Bubinga top and black veneer accent line. Neck 7 piece Bubinga/maple with Bubinga headplate back plate and heel all with accent lines.[/color][/size][/size][/font][font=inherit][size=1] [size=4][color=#000000]Hardware in black. ACG pre-amp. 2 ACG custom humbuckers. Hipshot Type A bridge. Hipshot Ultralites. Schaller Straplocks and a Neutrik locking jack. Finish 60% sheen lacquer on the body and 20% sheen on the neck for a satin feel. Hiscox hard case included.[/color][/size][/size][/font][font=inherit][size=1] [size=4][color=#000000]Link to Alan's website for a better description and pics:[/color][/size][/size][/font][font=inherit][size=1] [color=#000000]http://www.acguitars.co.uk/acg_admin/wordpress/portfolio/0011-recurve-sc-classic-5-string[/color][/size][/font][font=inherit][size=1] [color=#000000][font=inherit][size=4]No trades please, buyer to collect or could possibly meet within reason near Leicester.[/size][/font][/color][/size][/font] [/size][/font][/color] Edited May 2, 2017 by 28mistertee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingChrome Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 If you change your mind about trades, let me know. I got a nice Customshop Sandberg 4 stringer. Cheers, Sascha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
28mistertee Posted April 13, 2017 Author Share Posted April 13, 2017 Thanks guys, selling it off for pretty much what I paid for it I'm not in it to make a profit. Sascha, I was looking at your bass the other day, stunning and the Sandberg is definitely on my list in the future. Unfortunately I need to thin the herd and recuperate some cash I've spent on other things. Thank you though 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

28mistertee Posted April 29, 2017 Author Share Posted April 29, 2017 Had a play last night, considering withdrawing and persevering until I get used to that extra string, it plays great and I'm primarily a 4 stringer. Bump before I withdraw and decide to keep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
