Sign in to disble this ad
Acacia custom lined fretless fives. Not 100% on the woods but I will do my best. Mahogany or Walnut body, Lacewood top and back, Wenge neck with maple and walnut or mahogany runners. Gaboon ebony fingerboard w/Mother of Pear "ACACIA" logo inlaid at the end. Lane poor pickups,(one note the lane poors picture are no longer in the bass and have a set of lane poors with the "Acacia Tree" logo) VVT with a bypass switch that sends the signal from both pickups to the output jack. This is the sweetest sounding electric fretless I have owned. Mwah for DAYS, very clear and defined sounding instrument. 
$1500 shipped to the lower 48 US
Comes with a levys gig bag. Acacia pictures by fivestringdan - Photobucket

Hey Dan - beautiful Acacia! These are amazing basses. What is the scale length and the string spacing at the bridge on this one? |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Dec 2001 Location: Little Rock, AR | | Thanks for asking, I forgot to include those details. 35 inch scale and the spacing can be adjusted by a wide margin. I believe it's around 18mm atm but it's a Khaler bridge so you can move the strings off the fingerboard if you want. When I get home tonight I'll check the spacing with my micrometer. Quote:

Also, what is the pre? Is it the Lane Poor pre as well or just a passive?

Thank you for asking. |

Anyone who is interested in this grab it up. The quality of bass you are getting here rivals any bass made. For $1500.00 you can't go wrong.
trying to talk the wife into letting me have it. I don't play fretless but for $400.00 I think it would be worth having frets installed and the bass would still be a steal. |

Had it for probably 10 or 12 years. When I got it, I sold my 74 P Bass, my Alembic and my Steinberger. It's the only bass I have. That's why I named her "Neo"- she's "The One". She's not in nearly as good as shape as in the pic, she has been played. But it is time for a face lift. First part of that is what Justin is doing now- replacing the EMG P and J with 35 DC's and an ACG preamp.
