Merton Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 (edited) As hinted at on my other two builds (yes I’m a greedy pig) I am in a very very lucky position to be having a third bass build this year. All were commissioned in 2018 with deposits at least being put down then, so I’m counting myself still “in” with Sibob’s challenge. The ACG is one which has been in my head since I had to sell my original Finn 5 18 months ago. It’s based on what I learnt from that and from what I’ve learnt with my glorious ash/maple Finn 4. For an ACG it’s quite simple in spec but it’s going to be classy AF and amazing. I can’t wait! Specs: Two piece ash body, no fancy top 5 piece maple/bubinga neck Acrylic Impregnated maple fingerboard with 30” radius 32” scale 4+1 headstock with maple front veneer Two ACG FB pickups in 25mm casings East UniPre3 Black hardware And pictures too!

Owen Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 (edited) A nice piece of Ash needs no fancy top. Edited April 2, 2019 by owen because he has a fat thumb and cannot type. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merton Posted April 25, 2019 Author Share Posted April 25, 2019 (edited) A neck and fingerboard! Love the figuring on the board and on the headstock veneer. V classy. Edited April 25, 2019 by Merton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merton Posted May 13, 2019 Author Share Posted May 13, 2019 Alan sent me a pic to finalise pickup positioning. This has 6 string pickups on it so look slightly oversized but it gives you an idea of where Alan’s at. I’m unbelievably excited by this, my Finn 4 is my go to bass and this is going to make a superb sibling. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
