Jimmy is a great bassist with a VERY varied recording career.... I've also got stuff by him with a band called Blackjack in the late 70's (with a young Michael Bolton on vocals and Bruce Kulick of KISS on gtr) and he even played bass on a track or two on KISS' "Creatures Of The Night" album in 1982...

Great bassist Nice bloke - I've met him a few times Entertaining to chat with/listen to Fun book What's not to appreciate? And yes, he has posted on here before...

Robbo and his Warlocks are a lovely bunch of guys who are really supporting live music. They will look after you AND your gear and you will have a great time. Money depends on your pulling power andhow many times you've been in/proven yourself...

[quote name='eubassix' post='1132328' date='Feb 18 2011, 03:15 PM']Hmm .. interesting that ebay/brand-new (and ambidextrous) member [b]i***u(0)[/b] seemed to be bidding only upon 3 items - opening the bidding for the right-handed ESP (which he won .. but then didn't want, or couldn't afford) and the LH Ibanez bass ... and trace elliot ... (which he managed not to win - luckily, as I assume he wouldn't have been able to afford either of those):- [url="http://offer.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewBids&item=170601748453"]http://offer.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?V...em=170601748453[/url] [url="http://offer.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewBidderProfile&mode=1&item=170602024305&aid=i***u&eu=%2FXkCWQU8iqlpj7kv361RdOa%2FtVkl3Q8G&view=NONE&ssPageName=PageBidderProfileViewBids_None_ViewLink"]http://offer.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?V...s_None_ViewLink[/url] [url="http://offer.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewBids&item=170601753110"]http://offer.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?V...em=170601753110[/url][/quote] Shill bidding anyone?!

New strings, play nearer the bridge, turn the input gain up on the amp.....

That's actually pretty nice!

The 80's/early 90's Kramers (their glory years) were superb, but the more recent Gibson-owned Chinese Kramers are more like entry level instruments....

Sadly it's time for me to liquidate a couple of bits from my collection to keep the VISA cards under control.... So without much further ado I present the following.... [b]Spector NS2A[/b] This is a gorgeous and highly rated late 80's/maybe early-1990 Korean made thru-neck Spector NS2A in red stain with Spector pickups, a Spector Hazlab Jr preamp (almost identical to the full US Hazlab) and black hardware (heavy duty Spector bridge, tuners, knobs and Schaller strap pins). The body and thru neck are maple with a rosewood fingerboard. These original Spector import basses have a great reputation with this top of the range NS2A model often being rated as 90% the quality of the legendary full US NS2 models, but for a fraction of the price - the main differences being the Spector branded EMG-made pickups, non-gold hardware, Rosewood rather than Pau Ferro board and 3A rather than 5A grade maple bodies! Indeed, with a popular upgrade of the pickups to full active EMG's you would have a monster on your hands!! Many well known 80's/90's rock bassists (Kip Winger, Eddie Jackson, etc) used these, with the pickup upgrade, on recordings and 'live'! Sadly this simple and inexpensive upgrade is something I never got around to doing... Being all maple and armed with the Hazlab Jr preamp, these basses are MUCH closer to the legendary US NS2 model than the more recent Euro LX models (which will cost you double my price s/h and 3 times as much new)! Controls are vol (p), vol (j), bass (cut/boost) and treble (cut boost) See halfway down the page here for more info on these great basses: [url="http://www.spectorbass.com/about/model_years_2.html"]http://www.spectorbass.com/about/model_years_2.html[/url] In the spirit of full disclosure I would rate the condition as 8.5/10 with a few discolouration scuffs to the very bottom of the body, some light surface scratches on the back of the body and a light surface nick halfway up the back of the neck. I'm looking for a VERY reasonable *SOLD* cash, cheque or direct a/c transfer. No trades and no Paypal thanks....and I would prefer pickup from Guildford area, Surrey or Central London. I will however ship/courier at buyers cost if really necessary. Sadly it doesn't come with a case... Please see my feedback thread (at the bottom of my signature below) for assurances of a clean and honest transaction.

[quote name='Hobbayne' post='1124048' date='Feb 11 2011, 04:55 PM']Gary Tibbs left Roxy Music to join Adam & The Ants. I cant think of two more different musical projects Its a bit like JJ burnel leaving the Stranglers to join Bucks Fizz!! [/quote] Not quite.... Adam & The Ants had some tasty basslines and weren't completely 'pop'

Ah yes... Gary Tibbs, saw him with Adam & The Ants back in 1981 at the Dominion Theatre on the Prince Charming tour... Oops! Have I dated myself there...?!?
