ACG Über Finn 5 string £2000 South Croydon

[eude]

I'm downsizing my collection a bit, so up for grabs is my incredible Über Spec Finn 5 string by AC Guitars.

This is the highest spec that ACG offer, with the most premium woods, the multicoil pickups and the full fat DFM filter preamp, with a passive tone knob.

As with all my basses, this is 31.5" scale, which makes playing absolutely effortless, and due to the sound design and construction, there are literally nothing but benefits to the shorter scale.

 

 

Here's the details...

 

Spec Level: Über
31.5" scale
Bolt-on construction
24 frets
18mm string spacing
45mm nut width
Katalox Top
Cuban Mahogany Body
Black Accent Veneer
5 piece Red Oak/Wenge Neck, with slim asymmetric carve
Highly figured Pau Ferro Fingerboard with Sapwood, wit 0º radius, i.e. flat
ACG MC pickups, Multicoils, handmade by Aaron Armstrong
ACG DFM filter preamp with passive tone control and active/passive switching
ACG/Hipshot Custom Bridge
Gotoh Resolute Tuners

Currently strung with fairly heavy Nickel D'Addario XLs, but it really shines with lighter gauge Newtone Nickels, something like 40 60 80 125TW, I might have a set kicking around to pop on.

 

I don't know the exact weight, as I don't have proper means to measure it properly, but I'd say it's a medium weight bass, maybe 8.5 lbs or thereabouts? Certainly doesn't feel heavy.

 

This really is an incredible instrument, but I'm ultimately more of a 6 string bassist first, then 4 strings, then 5 - I know, weird.

A bass built to this spec today would cost the best part of £4000, and worth every single penny. This Finn is absolutely mint, not a mark on it, never been gigged, barely even left the house.

 

Looking for roughly £2000, ono, with a TGI Extreme Gigbag.

More than happy to courier within the UK, with insurance, at buyer's cost, I'd guess this would be about £30 based on previous experience.

 

No trades thank you, sale only.

 

Cheers,

Eude
