Joebethell Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 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. 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGreek Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 Always, yet never, surprised by Alan's creations - always top notch whatever model you choose. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart1982 Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 Gorgeous bass. You can’t beat Alan’s basses in my opinion. Enjoy it. Stuart 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassApprentice Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CokeyW Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
