Lovely bass and some fantastic playing. I've listened to it a few times this morning.

It really is an excellent bass and the playing is superb, despite Owain's protestations otherwise.

Alan - I've expressed my admiration on Jared's NBD thread but I have to take off my metaphorical hat to you. The work of a true craftsman.

Thanks Karl.

 

[hoytbasses]

no thanks needed, my friend. you continue to raise the bar for outstanding custom basses that are gorgeous but EXTREMELY PLAYABLE.

there are plenty of good looking instruments out there, but the combination of great looks and functionality elude many builders.

[Skelf]

Again thanks. I am sure they are no better than the basses you produce either in looks or playability.

This zebrawood Salace is one I've been really looking forward to seeing finished, and the results are spectacular--bravo, Alan!

The Finn turned out really cool, too. That's the first non-wood binding I've seen on an ACG--how was it to work with?

 

[Skelf]

Hi Mike
It was fine to work with and I have a couple of prototype guitars that I intend to bind just to try it out. It will be Ivoriod binding on them if I ever get round to doing them.

Salace 5.

Wow, what a beauty! Who's the lucky owner?

 

[Skelf]

Hi Tom
I don't know if he is on TB I suspect he is but I don't know his name I am afraid.

I just received the lefty 5 string J type that is shown here:

All I can says is - wow! The variety of tones on this bass is incredible. I've just messed around with it a little, but with the pickup selector and the eq it can capture classic j or p tones, as well as the mm type growl. The selector is my favorite part so far, you can have the pickups in series and parallel as well as soloing each one, which really gives you a great variety of sounds w a flip of a switch. The fit and finish on the bass is outstanding, I've had some really nice basses (I just sold a Modulus Genesis 5 in favor of this - nice bass but too heavy) and this is right there with the best of them. If you're on the fence about ACG jump in the pool - the water is fine! He's got some other nice ones in stock right now. I really like the look of the white w tort J type.

087 bass has simple elegance . Tonal qualities?
