This is the bass I was talking to Alan about before I bought the 5 string J type he had in stock instead. It's done now and available (in the second post on this thread):

Someone please buy this so I don't :)

Have always admired ACG basses, and this is a great price for one! Simple, yet elegant at the same time....

A Crappy Guitar?

That's the first thing I thought when I saw that acronym.

Not at all. I own one. They are hand made, beautiful, balanced, great sounding basses. The name comes from the builder's initials (Alan Cringean in Moffat, Scotland). Here is a link to pics of mine on his site:

Not a problem at all. It got to me in NY from Scotland in 5 days and cost a little under $200 for shipping.
