ACG Retro B 5 string bass 35” scale (On hold) - *SOLD* £1800 Aylesbury

[Bass Wielder]

*SOLD*
Lovely ACG 5 string Retro B (Jazz style) built by Alan Cringean (Scottland) in near mint condition (signs of use but nothing obvious or major).  

*Only selling because I had another custom build come in from ACG (and I can’t keep them all sadly😩).*

Alan builds basses that compares with the top professional luthiers not just in the UK or Europe but worldwide!

I have travelled and played his basses all over and they never fail to get compliments from other band members or sound engineers (not to forget the observant/listening audience members😎).

Fantastic balance, easy playability, flexible tones (John East!!), great aesthetics and sold build guarantees great gig experiences and reliable professionalism with this bass (and other ACG’s I’m sure).

This bass looks lovely. I know Alan's work well and it pushes all my buttons except the finances one.
