Alan’s workmanship is absolutely astounding. Ok it may not be a familiar body shape but ergonomically it’s extremely comfortable to play. I’d encourage anyone to try one. I’m not endorsed by ACG I’m just a huge fan of Alan’s work. He is one of the finest luthiers in the world.

Hi folks I recently became the very lucky and proud owner of a new ACG bass. This very special bass was built by Alan Cringean @skelf for this year’s winter NAMM. This is my ninth ACG and it’s an incredibly special bass. The top wood is made from holly onto an ash body with a bloodwood...

Yes Ian. Alan is an absolute gent and I’m sure would be more than happy to run through the various options available if you’re looking for a custom ACG build.

Thank you

Hi folks Just wanted to share the joy of this exceptional ACG bass handmade by Alan Cringean. I picked this up from Alan yesterday and it’s absolutely stunning. This particular model is a prototype and I’m sure Alan would be more than happy to build another if this is ur thing. From top to...

Thanks for your reply folks. Haven’t been able to put it down. Amazing bass in every way. Would love to see your own ACGs from over the pond. Stuart

It does indeed sound amazing and extremely versatile too. Even tho the truss rod spoke wheel is a small part it makes such a difference. Even the locking input jack is a nice addition too. Thanks

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...

Hi OJ Your Recurve is stunning. I haven’t had the chance to try the multi coil pickups that Alan puts into the Uber builds but have heard nothing but good things about them. I hope u find a good home for the recurve. I have a Salace SC E Type 5 string fretless order from Alan so I’ll post pics...

I have been intending to do some videos on all of my ACG basses but work and family life have prevented that from happening. I will try and do a demo in the fretless over the next few days and I’ll post it here on talkbass. Trust me tho it sounds just as sublime as it looks

It’s absolute pure quality in every area.

Thanks Eude Go for it. I can’t put the fretless down it’s such a joy to play.

Thank you very much.

Hi folks It’s always a good day when a new bass comes into the fold. I know many members here on Talkbass will be aware of the extraordinary instruments built by Alan Cringean of AC Guitars in Scotland. I have 3 ACG basses already however this is my first fretless and with many hours spent...

Hi folks I have lusted after an ACG bass for years and recently got a fantastic Retro B from Alan directly. Alan not only is an absolute gent but he is one of the finest bass builders in the world IMHO. Having a significant birthday on the way I thought it was only natural to commission a...
