[quote name='Paulhauser' timestamp='1475524505' post='3146689'] For a rock band it is hard to beat a Spector. Queensryche, Alice in chains, Skid Row, Cannibal Corpse, Judas Priest and a host of other well known and iconic rock bands' bassist all used and still use Spector basses. I'd say you go for a EURO 4. It has PJ pickups, active electronics, slim neck, contoured body. They'd fit into your budget even new, but used they go around 800-900 GBP (or less sometimes) It will give you different tone options compared to your P bass. [/quote] This. You can't beat a Spector for rock music

[quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1475162005' post='3143617'] I've been pretty disappointed with the customer service at Warwick - nothing short of poor TBH - why not get yourself a quality Spector - after all it is their design.. [/quote] This

Glad to finally have you onboard here Darren! Gary

[quote name='barneyg42' timestamp='1474869741' post='3141073'] As long as you've got more than one knob Simon is the go to man for compression!! [/quote] Luckily my Empress Compressor has FIVE knobs....... AND two switches

What can I say that hasn't already been said..... apart from to reiterate everything!! Nik, Colin etc.... thanks for all your hard work and organisation. Alex, Herbie (what a star!) and John - thankyou for sharing your talents and expertise. My fellow bassists - thank you for sharing your equipment, enthusiasm and laughter On a personal note - thanks to Simon for temporarily clearing the fog in my brain re: compression! lol! I didn't come away with any GAS.... but I did come away with a renewed enthusiasm for my instrument and respect for my fellow bassists Best time I've had in a while..... and best value for money in ages! Cheers to all and here's to the next one!

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1474298179' post='3136918'] What I was trying to imply was there are already hundreds of copies of Fender basses available at all sorts of price points, so why yet another brand doing it and what do they hope will make them more special than all the others? Especially when the headstock logo is so eye-waveringly ugly! And if I was a beginner after a Fender-style bass I'd probably want be looking at one that actually said Fender on the headstock even if it was only a very small logo. [/quote] Yep, this......

How much was that mate?

10,000+ at the Ariake Coliseum in Tokyo. Hitting a low E and feeling the rumble in that arena is one of the greatest moments of my life.... lol! Also 10k plus at Dynamo Bucharest football stadium on a bill supporting Jethro Tull, alongside Saxon, Paradise Lost and others....
