retro Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 (edited) SOLD - my ACG Custom Krell 5 string in first class condition. No dings or scratches. An outstanding example of Alan's work with a beautiful Art Aqua Maple Burl fretboard. Ash back and front, with a white limba chambered centre. Ash neck. All finished in satin lacquer. Headless 31.5" scale with 24 frets. Strings at 18mm centres. Weight 4.6kg. ACG FB Alnico pickups with active ACG EQ01 4k. Dunlop straplocks and Elixer strings. I am retired now and reluctantly slimming down my bass collection to just the essentials. This bass features ACG's custom headstock which allows the use of any type of strings on this bass. No need for double ball ends. The pre-amp features a stacked filter and resonance control for each pick up giving a huge range of sounds from thumping reggae to crisp slap. Stacked Volume and Blend pot and a separate stacked tone control to further boost the sound. The bass plays really well, with a fast action either strung B to G or E to C, which is my preference. The bass will come strung and set up to your preference with a spare B or C string accordingly. The bass comes with a Mono padded gig bag and adjustment tools. Here's a link to ACG for the specs. https://acguitars.co.uk/project/0391krelletype-5-31-5/ Please contact me for any further details and the bass can be shipped at extra cost, but a meet up would be preferable. Thanks for looking. Edited November 9, 2023 by retro 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassApprentice Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 I think this of nearly every second hand ACG - but surely you won't find a better bass for the money this is going for! It's mad when you see other ACGs going for around the £1000 mark considering what the big players are selling their premium ranges for these days. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simisker Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 Yeah, that fretboard is spectacular. It's got a lovely verdigris vibe to it Speaking as the lucky owner of two ACG 5 string short-scale singlecut basses tuned E-C, I find it hard to believe that there are better E-C basses out there for any money.

eude Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 I'm lucky enough to own a very similar bass, albeit in 6 string flavour. This is an absolute bargain for an incredible instrument from one of the best. Good luck with the sale! Eude 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinterMute Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 Those fractal tops are amazing, nearly had one on my Krell fretless. Really can't see a better value or better built option on the market than a pre-loved ACG... GLWTS 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
