eude Posted April 17 Posted April 17 (edited) I'm moving on one of my ACG 6 string basses. The one in, one out rule applies in my house sadly, so as much as I don't want to see it go, needs must. It's a pretty special bass, 6 strings, singlecut bolt-on design, with a 31.5" scale length. Even with the shorter scale, the whole thing is so well designed and made that the low B is solid, as useable and musical as most 34" and 35" basses in my opinion, but I will attach a couple of vids so you can hear it. Here's the lowdown... 6 string, tuned B to C 31.5" scale Bolt-on construction 24 frets 16.5mm string spacing 54mm nut width STUNNING Highly Figured Black Limba Body 3 piece Wenge Neck, with Asymmetrical profile Pau Ferro Fingerboard ACG RFB pickup, humbucker, handmade by Aaron Armstrong with series/single coil/parallel switching, roughly in the MM Stingray location East Uni-pre 4K preamp with passive tone control and active/passive switching Hipshot A Type Bridge Gotoh Resolite Tuners String with Newtone Nickels, 28 40 60 80 100 125TW More pics here on the ACG site >> https://acguitars.co.uk/project/0307-finn-classic-6-31-5/ Video featuring lockdown hairdoo and beard, and the Low B string in use (recorded using a phone and a little Warwick 1x8 Combo) >> Silly video doing some noodling as part of a duel with a good friend, who is a Banjo player (recorded using a phone and a little Warwick 1x8 Combo) >> The bass is absolutely mint, only issue to declare is the 12th fret, on the high C string has a little buzz, which you can hear in the second clip if you're really listening hard, so it could do with a little fret dress on that fret, but bar that, it's all good. Looking for £1650 and it can come with a Hiscox Hardcase for an extra £50, otherwise it'll be in a TGI Extreme Gigbag. More than happy to courier within the UK, with insurance, at buyer's cost. No looking for £1550 with a TGI Extreme Gigbag. Currently no case or bag, but I will purchase a suitable gigbag/case when the bass sells. More than happy to courier within the UK, with insurance, at buyer's cost. Please check my feedback >> I'll leave this up for a couple of weeks, then I will move it to The Bass Gallery for a commission sale, but that will mean the price goes up, so if you're keen but can't quite stretch to it immediately, please get in touch, we might be able to work something out. New, this bass would now cost over £2800, and well worth it at that too. No trades thanks, I have other plans... Any questions, you know where I am Cheers, Eude Edited August 14 by eude Price change 17

Merton Posted April 17 Posted April 17 As a cack-handed fool who can barely manage with 4 strings, this is the only 6 string bass I can vaguely play. It’s gorgeous and sounds immense. Someone will get a bargain. 1

Grooverjr Posted April 17 Posted April 17 Lovely. ACGs are so undervalued second hand. Only need the one PUP with an ACG because they are so versatile. Oh, and @eude is a top person to deal with so buy with confidence. Alas I have burgers for hands and a limited brain so 4 strings is my limit. 2
ead Posted April 17 Posted April 17 Gorgeous bass. Eude is a top banana so deal in confidence folks. 1

It seems to be irony that makes the world go round, sadly 🤷♂️ If you think circumstances might change in a short while, I can put it on hold for you dude. Edited April 18 by eude 1
Dazed Posted April 18 Posted April 18 I really shouldn’t be here again, but here I am….. what does it weigh?

OK, I only have bathroom scales, so not super accurate, but definitely sub 10 lbs, I'd say between 9 and 9.5 lbs. Bloody light considering the lumber involved. 1
eude Posted May 2 Author Posted May 2 (edited) Pre Bank Holiday Weekend Bump. I will be withdrawing this soon and popping it somewhere, likely the Bass Gallery, for a commission sale. If you're interested, let me know! Edited May 2 by eude
pantherairsoft Posted May 8 Posted May 8 I’ve looked at this pretty much every day since you posted it. As an ACG owner, I know how epic this is… and I’d love a 6er again. I know I’m never going to find the money, but at the very least, I wanted to bump it - someone needs to pick this bass up asap! 1

Thank you dude, I appreciate the bump. It is awesome, like all ACGs, and it wouldn't be going if I wasn't planning an immediate replacement. 1
Selka Posted June 10 Posted June 10 Hi, if we can make a deal, I would buy this one .. could you share your contact, thank you.

eude Posted June 19 Author Posted June 19 (edited) Bump with a slight price drop to £1550. Got a lot on at the moment, otherwise I'd have had time to pop this into the Bass Gallery for a commission sale. I'll be taking this down and making that visit ASAP, so anyone interested, please get in touch ASAP. I'm also taking away the option of the Hiscox case, as they're not going to be easily replaced now and I want to keep one. Sorry, but UK sales only I'm afraid. Edited July 24 by eude
eude Posted July 17 Author Posted July 17 Willing to hear offers on price, please reach out if you're in the UK and interested, perhaps we can work something out. Still sale only though, no trades
eude Posted July 24 Author Posted July 24 (edited) Little bump, still happy to hear offers on this. Life has very much made it tough to get this off for a commission sale, so if you're on the fence, let's chat, I'm sure we can figure something out. Also, currently without a bag or case for this now, but I will pick something up when it sells, something half decent like this Gear4Music effort >> https://www.gear4music.com/Guitar-and-Bass/G4M-Bass-Guitar-Case-Black/5A8S Edited July 24 by eude
