The neck is a 7-piece wenge\/maple laminate topped with a Macassar Ebony fingerboard. Even with six strings, the bass has a 33-inch scale that Cringean says makes it \u201can easy bass to get around on.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pickups on the bass are a pair of ACG FB humbuckers covered in a wenge\/myrtle ramp, while the preamp is ACG\u2019s EQ03 5k dual filter. The bridge is a Hipshot Type A, and the bass also features Gotoh Resolite tuners, Dunlop dual design straplocks, and SIT Silencer strings.<\/p>\n<h2>AC Guitars Recurve Classic 6 Bass Photos:<\/h2>\n<div class=\"section\">\n<div class=\"carousel-sync-wrap\">\n<div class=\"carousel-gallery carousel-sync-main\">\n<div class=\"carousel-item\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.notreble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/AC-Guitars-Recurve-Classic-6-Glamour-Shot-1000x667.jpg\" class=\"img-fluid\" alt=\"\"><\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-item --><\/p>\n<div class=\"carousel-item\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.notreble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/AC-Guitars-Recurve-Classic-6-Body.jpg?fit=800%2C384&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"img-fluid\" alt=\"\"><\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-item --><\/p>\n<div class=\"carousel-item\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.notreble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/AC-Guitars-Recurve-Classic-6-Body-Back.jpg?fit=750%2C421&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"img-fluid\" alt=\"\"><\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-item --><\/p>\n<div class=\"carousel-item\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.notreble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/AC-Guitars-Recurve-Classic-6-Back.jpg?fit=800%2C276&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"img-fluid\" alt=\"\"><\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-item -->\n\t\t    <\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-sync-main -->    <\/p>\n<div class=\"carousel-sync-nav\">\n<div class=\"carousel-item\"><\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-item --><\/p>\n<div class=\"carousel-item\"><\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-item --><\/p>\n<div class=\"carousel-item\"><\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-item --><\/p>\n<div class=\"carousel-item\"><\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-item -->\n\t\t    <\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-sync-nav -->  <\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-sync-wrap --><\/div>\n<p><!-- .section --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Scottish luthier Alan Cringean makes some fine instruments, and this AC Guitars Recurve Classic 6 is a beautiful example.
