Stuart1982 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Hi folks Just wanted to show you another fantastic ACG I’ve acquired from the great Alan Cringean. This one is a pure joy both in terms of feel, playability and tone. Alan’s work is second to none. This is the Krell model, 5 string and 35 inch. ART maple on top of a swamp ash body. Ash neck with wenge strips. Fingerboard is flamed sycamore with blue dots from the bass body. Luminlay side dots. Hipshot ultralite tuners and Hipshot bridge then finally a John East Uni Pre 4. Pickups are a FB humbucker in the neck and an RFB humbucker at the bridge. This combo can cut through the mix no problem. If 2024 is the year you’re looking for a custom bass then get into ACGs website. Alan is a pure gent and any communication I’ve had with him has been top notch. All the best Stuart 26 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

franzbassist Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 That's a beauty. I had a superb Krell from Alan but sold it on as it was too heavy for me. Great basses. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnybass Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 That is beautiful, I love the colour choice with the fingerboard wood. I have owned an ACG recurve 5 string for a few years its only 34inch scale but the B string feels great. The 35inch must make if feel thunderous. Enjoy dude jonny 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctor J Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Love the Krell shape, that's a winner. You weren't tempted to go with the multicoils and filter pre? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve always been tempted with the multi coils. I have the filter pre in 2 or 3 of my other ACG basses and I love it. My plan is to get an Uber build as ACG calls it with the multi coils etc for my 50th. Thats a few years away yet but gives me time to decide what model I’d like and to save up for it 😀. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigthumb Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 If I were ever to be in the position to order a bass off Alan I'd ask for a 4 string version of that! Absolutely stunning in every way. Congratulations! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
