    Starting to appear on Thomann....... but not in stock yet. Prices have gone up £150+ on the V7 price when I got one....

    Spector customer service is the best.... bar none! If you need to email PJ at their NY headquarters he will get back to you asap and is super helpful. With a Spector you are also joining a group of loyal and passionate owners/players who will also help you wherever & whenever they can I have owned a ReBop4 (& hope to own one again). Great tight and focused sounding bass that will punch through any mix with ease...... My only criticism is the neck dive due to the small and light body. A good, gripping strap can tackle this to some extent though.... If that is too much of a risk then I can heartily recommend saving a little more and going for the stunning EuroLX range. Probably the best basses of their ilk (build/sound/comfort) at that price point! Hope that helps!

    [quote name='Graham' timestamp='1491589842' post='3274199'] The official Spector Facebook page just posted a tribute, which I think is a nice touch. [/quote] Yep, Spector are a class act as usual....

    I'm very sad to have to inform you that we've lost one of our own. Gary Slater (aka Grunge666), Spector bassist and Orange/Barefaced user... and bassist of W Mids rockers 'Iconic Eye' passed away unexpectedly last night. He leaves a loving family and lots of good friends... Sleep well my friend x

    [quote name='plankspanker' timestamp='1489653937' post='3258619'] Looking at the fuse rating in the photo of the rear panel - is this 120Vac and therefore needs a step-down mains transformer? [/quote] Nope, it's a UK model for UK people

    [quote name='radiophonic' timestamp='1489584490' post='3258146'] I went and had a play. I tried both a Rebop and a Euro LX (some kind of signature model, all white).[/quote] Ah yes, that's the Mike Starr (Alice In Chains) sig model.....

    Firstly, seeing Gary Tibbs live onstage with his Wal bass with Adam & The Ants..... Followed by Gene Simmons with his Spectors (my love affair with Spector began here), Steve Harris with his P basses and then listening to Tiran Porter of The Doobie Brothers and Peter Cetera on the first 13 Chicago albums.....

    [quote name='NancyJohnson' timestamp='1489403841' post='3256561'] Gary will be along in a minute... [/quote] Don't panic Mr Mainwaring, I'm here! [quote name='Paulhauser' timestamp='1489411245' post='3256647'] I have owned and own several Spectors from almost every level: Korean, Euro and US. I have to say that one of the biggest pro for this brand is that their products are of very good value in every price segment they have products. I can recommend Spectors without any doubt in any level really. Assuming you are a 4 string player, a Euro 4 would be a really good backup for the SR, but not just like that. The PJ pickup config has a great variety of sounds, it nails the P tone quite well, with the J added it sounds really growly and fat. These basses are built exceptionally well with well thought out ergonomics [/quote] All the above - nail on the head. I would also say that a Euro is much more than a back up - it is a monster in its own right- and may well become your go to bass. It certainly is for me over any of the other basses/brands I own or have owned. [quote name='radiophonic' timestamp='1489413561' post='3256677'] Before I dive in further, the main ergonomic thing I have to address is how offset the neck position is. I have a Jazz and I have a real problem with how far to the left the neck sits, due to the offset. I made a big and expensive mistake with the Jazz - having played several but only sitting down (as is normal in a shop). Hanging round my neck it's all wrong. In comparison the Stingray feels like a significantly shorter scale length, even though it isn't. It's really hard to judge, looking at Spector due to the 2 octave neck and the small body, but where the first fret falls is a big issue for me (not being a tall person). I may not be able to stump for an LX4 (assuming I can't offload the Jazz - no luck so far), but a Rebop might be more in budget. [/quote] The ReBop has an element of neck dive, which being of a slightly shorter stature you may find to be a problem. I'd recommend trying a Euro as a priority (to check neck position) and then looking out for a used one on here if they take your fancy....

    Great head, that Landmark.... I've had the 300 and the 600 before...... cool tones! Good luck with the sale!

    Spector Euros are hardly 'entry models'. They are 90% the same as the US models but half the price or less (still pricey) and fantastic instruments in their own right. Stuart Spector & PJ also take a real hands on/personal approach with their Euro offerings. Their Korean models could be considered more 'entry models' but again are extremely well made and excellent value for money....!

    Cheers everyone! Yep, it's quite something.... [quote name='Kiwi' timestamp='1489067275' post='3254114'] Worth noting that the amp chassis is very deep for anyone thinking of mounting it in another SKB rotocase. [/quote] Indeed, hence me including a suitable rack case in the deal

    I've decided to move on this fantastic piece of kit as I seldom use it. Not due to any problem with it, rather I am not using rack/modular preamp/amp gear at present... This is the rare and very desirable Peavey DPC1400X class D 1u rack power amp. Built like a tank and ultra reliable, this beast delivers crystal clear highs and a thumping low-end response. It puts out up to 1400W bridged into 4 ohms/1000W into 8 ohms, or in stereo mode each of the two channels can independently power 700W into 2 ohms, 525W into 4 ohms, or 325W into 8 ohms. As you can see, it has huge headroom on tap and can power single or multiple cab set ups with ease. Put a preamp of choice in front of it..... or 2 separate preamps into it (one into each channel) and split for e.g. distorted high end in one cab and clean lows in the other cab.... The choices are endless and yours to make... Manual here: [url="https://assets.peavey.com/literature/manuals/80301828.pdf"]https://assets.peave...ls/80301828.pdf[/url] Fantastic Bass Player review here: [url="http://bgavinsound.com/Reference/Music/Peavey/DPC%201400x%20review.pdf"]http://bgavinsound.c...0x%20review.pdf[/url] [u]Features:[/u] DDT speaker protection Front panel level controls 1,400W RMS bridged at 4 ohms 700W RMS per channel at 2 ohms 500W RMS per channel at 4 ohms 375W RMS per channel at 8 ohms LED status and level indicators Combo XLR-1/4" input with 1/4" thru Binding post and 1/4" outputs Single rack space Condition is excellent with just a few light scratches from racking etc.... Owners of the amps tend to hold onto them, especially in the PA trade. Indeed the only one that seems to have come come up for sale here in recent times went for £525 on ebay.([url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Peavey-DPC1400X-/162355991431?hash=item25cd2bd387:g:W0MAAOSw44BYd90n"]http://www.ebay.co.u...0MAAOSw44BYd90n[/url] ) Original list price on this was $1400 (approx a grand of the queens money back then). I'm offering mine at the bargain price of just £330 including the rack it's pictured in! Bank transfer or cash on collection from the Guildford, Surrey area..... or I may be willing to deliver within 50 or so miles radius for petrol money. NO trades please. Please see my extensive positive feedback for assurance of a clean and honest transaction. Cheers! [attachment=239965:20170306_165301.jpg]

    [quote name='MonkeyTrick' timestamp='1488847829' post='3252414'] I love mine so much you'd have to give me double this to even consider parting with it. If I had the cash (and wasn't aware of a certain BC'er desperately after one ) I would snap this up without a doubt. GLWTS. [/quote] Cheers for the props! Maybe you could point said BC'er in this direction? Or, PM me with info and I can chat to them...
