ACG SLG NBD (from a while ago)

[Joebethell]

I don't need to tell people on here about Alan's work, It's not really a secret that ACG basses are up there with the best but I have realised I haven't mentioned this bass yet.

 

I contacted Alan towards the end of 2022 as I had my 40th approaching in April 2023 and I wanted to treat myself.

After far to many emails from myself I settled on a spec that would remind me of some basses I have let go but miss the two most noticeable a fretless sei flamboyant 5string and an Everson fretless 4string. So a plan was hatched build a bass with features I now know suit me the most (passive, Shortscale to name a couple) 

 

Full spec.

 

Body core Black Limba
Top veneer AI Black ART Maple with black veneer. Back plate Black Limba with black veneer and Set Neck with 5 piece Padauk Wenge woods P/W/P/W/P.
Finger board wood AI Mac Ebony with Maple fret lines Radius 30”Side dots Blue Luminlay fretted position.
Headstock Black ART Maple with black veneer .
Bridge ACG Hipshot 19mm spacing Black 
Pre-amp Passive Vol/Tone/4 way rotary/3 way toggle switch for any combination.
BZ1 bridge pickup 
PB neck pickup.

 

I have to say Alan was great to deal with the bass is everything I wished for and more (it was even delivered two months earlier than expected) I can fully recommend if you are looking to have a build done.

 

Some of my poor quality photos along with Alan's that show the bass off better.

Lovely!

Always, yet never, surprised by Alan's creations - always top notch whatever model you choose.

Gorgeous bass. You can’t beat Alan’s basses in my opinion. Enjoy it.

Looks great - I hope one day I'm

a) playing enough

b) fortunate enough

to justify commissioning a build from Alan as they all look incredible and his recent teaser of staining looks very interesting.

I have have owned a few Luither made basses and the quality of Alan's work is outstanding. I'm still getting used to playing a fretless again but I love picking this bass up

I’m happy to say I still have the Everson Fretless you sold to me. In fact, I’ve played it this evening. 
Hope your ACG is working out well, I have one of Alan’s too and it’s a fabulous bass.
