\"AC<\/p>\n

This week we\u2019re checking out the AC Guitars \u00dcber ART Recurve 4. Built in Scotland by luthier Alan Cringean, the bass features a proprietary finishing process called Acrylic Resin Treated (ART).<\/p>\n

\u201cThe process makes use of acrylic monomers and dyes in order to infuse the wood,\u201d he writes. \u201cThis takes place in a vacuum oven and produces woods which have a totally unique look to them. The process its self is entirely random in where the stain takes and how much it takes so every board will be different.\u201d<\/p>\n

This particular bass uses the special finish on its maple burl top and fingerboard to create an engrossing visual appeal. Its body core is white limba matched with a five-piece wenge and maple neck. Cringean upped the fret marker game with some Luminlay side dots for good measure.<\/p>\n

The bass\u2019s electronics include a pair of ACG MC4 multi-coil pickups and the ACG DFM 4K preamp. Besides a locking Neutrik jack for 1\/4-inch cables, it also has a Neutrik XLR transformer with an isolated and balanced output.<\/p>\n
