:blush: :blush: :blush: Beers and basses soon Mike eh?

Sold my Pedulla to Anthomp. VERY easy transaction with fast payment and regular communication. Highly recommended!

Big thanks Roy and Antony! You were each a pleasure to deal with - enjoy your purchases!

More of the same.... get another GB1x12

Overlooking the beach in Lloret De Mar, Spain.... or overlooking the beach in Sopot, Poland...

I want to like it, especially as my good mate Mike Brooks writes for it...but each time I browse it in *insert newsagent of your choice* I find little or nothing to interest me. I think that is partly due to my older, more retro tastes and partly due to it being made almost irrelevant by onlike forums like this... I also have no interest in the ramblings of some indie nobody who once played the Pig & Whistle.... or some bloke from a 'churn them out to all sound the same' bass school...

Had a FAB gig at Birkenhead on Saturday.... next stops Bradford & Stourbridge!

All things considered, this should be one of the ULTIMATE setups! Let us know how you get on...

[quote name='machinehead' post='921083' date='Aug 10 2010, 10:44 PM']I can't seem to find my CRFM5. It's all maple body and neck with rosewood fretboard. It originally had an Aguilar pre-amp although it now has a U retro.[/quote] Try here, about halfway down the page: [url="http://www.spectorbass.com/about/model_years_4.html"]http://www.spectorbass.com/about/model_years_4.html[/url] It say later models had crown inlays, but doesn't say about the Aguilar...

[quote name='Wil' post='919942' date='Aug 9 2010, 07:11 PM']This is a really good site - so good in fact I've discovered my main bass isnt what I thought it was! I thought it was a Legend 5 Custom but they're advertised as having a set neck and 3 band EQ - mine is definately a through neck and has a 2 band EQ. By the looks of things I in fact have an NS-20005. I'd never heard of that model line before! Nice bass whatever the model name though, and that's all that really matters.[/quote] There you go! That's part of what they're trying to address with the site.... the confusion/discrepancies between models... I used to have an NS2000-4 (the 4 string version of yours) and it was a really excellent bass!

[quote name='wombatboter' post='919834' date='Aug 9 2010, 05:19 PM']Saw Roxy Music live yesterday over here in Belgium on a big festival around midnight... not with Guy Pratt but with Jerry Meehan. Good bass-playing but I would have preferred to hear a Jazz bass instead of a Precision to play the Roxy Music repertoire.[/quote] A Wal would have been even better

[quote name='Bilbo' post='919574' date='Aug 9 2010, 01:18 PM']No. Biting my tongue.[/quote] Good job I don't do that.... I'd be out of a 'tribute' job!

Here's a question for you Guy! What bass(es) did you play on the 'Toy Matinee' album and what exact effect pedal did you use on tracks like 'Queen Of Misery'? Thanks! I LOVE that album...and your playing on it!

[quote name='MacDaddy' post='918960' date='Aug 8 2010, 07:14 PM']calling Cetera![/quote] I'm here! Tis true that 'theatres' is where the money is.... We've never taken that step as the Agents tend to want to book small tours' of a fortnight or so.... and with families/responsibilities and decent full-time jobs this just wouldn't work for us...

Roy bought an amp off me today. Lovely guy, honest, trustworthy and on time! Highly recommended!!

Finally, this website is worthy of the legendary 'customer service' that PJ and Stuart are known for with the Spector brand....

Wow! I've just been browsing the new 'improved' Spector website (launched yesterday) for the last hour or so and have to say that it is one of the best bass manufacturer websites I've ever seen! [url="http://www.spectorbass.com/"]http://www.spectorbass.com/[/url] ALL the models through the years with full details on each one, history, artists, tech guides, links, accessories, online store, dealers etc etc etc.... Over 200 pages of info.... It's porn to me....
