[quote name='Crazykiwi' post='356036' date='Dec 16 2008, 02:56 PM']I look at the maple neck on my Spector and think to myself that there's not a lot of difference there between a Spector and some Foderas.[/quote] That may be because Vinnie Fodera worked for/with Stuart Spector in their workers cooperative building in the mid 70's?

[quote name='johnnylager' post='355861' date='Dec 16 2008, 12:28 PM']Is there a red one missing? John.[/quote] Ah yes, that's one of the two new ones I need to photograph and add to the thread!

Congrats guys! Great to have you onboard the good ship Spector! You'll never be happier.... you've found ergonomic comfort, amazing tone, stunning build quality, superb customer service AND value for money all in one go To celebrate, I've bumped my Spector Porn thread: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=22904"]Spector Porn[/url]

BUMPING this thread due to a resurgence in Spector interest and a rash of Spector buying happening on these boards! Oh, and I also have two more recently acquired Spectors to add to this thread when I've photographed them....

[quote name='warwickhunt' post='354708' date='Dec 15 2008, 12:00 AM']Can't be ars*d with waiting for a used one and seeing as how I've sold one of my Warwicks... I've bought a new Euro 4 (a tad worrying as it's unseen and unplayed). [/quote] Congrats mate! You've nothing to worry about.... the QC is superb.... don't forget we need to see pics when it arrives!

Lovely '75 RI

[quote name='Bassassin' post='351968' date='Dec 11 2008, 05:35 PM']Damn - that's tempting. Someone put me off by telling me they don't do much Dennis Dunaway era stuff! Jon.[/quote] Sorry, they do loads of the classic early stuff!

I'm posting this on behalf of a good friend who plays 'Alice' in the superb Scottish 'Alice Cooper' tribute 'Gallus Cooper'... They require a new bassist, preferably in the Glasgow area or within easy travelling distance. Good gear and dedication required. Gigs lined up for 2009 including Glasgow Renfrew Ferry and a tour of some Academy venues. Anyone interested please contact Peter on: 07727 698451

Google it...

Hmmm.... I wonder if Arbiter will do a 'silly sale' on the Spectors they have left? Not that I need any more you understand.... Another interesting development is that Amazon are now officially selling Spectors.... see here: [url="http://www.amazon.com/s/qid=1228840367/ref=sr_nr_i_0?ie=UTF8&rs=&keywords=spector&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Aspector%2Ci%3Ami"]Amazon Spectors[/url]

Just received this reply from my man at Spector... "Correct, no more Arbiter for us. We are talking to another distributor so that should be taken care of soon."

Shocking story mate... I hope it can be fixed in the end.... yikes....

[quote name='Sean' post='348880' date='Dec 8 2008, 06:00 PM']I was told that they have stopped by a Reverb store this afternoon. No details given just that they don't expect the situation to last long once people start shouting.[/quote] Hmmm... news to me... I'll check into it...

Congrats! I'm loving my Genz Benz NEOX-212T!

[quote name='MacDaddy' post='346684' date='Dec 5 2008, 06:06 PM']True, but isn't your Nan the multi-millionairess leader of an international fine-art/antique forgers ring .[/quote] That was last month....

Ah, the lovely Iceman shape..... a classic

[quote name='Ou7shined' post='346368' date='Dec 5 2008, 01:07 PM']It's soooo not. [/quote] Bwahahaa!!!!! My old Nan could do a better faking job than that!!

[quote name='BassManKev' post='346323' date='Dec 5 2008, 12:27 PM']we arnt on about the amp, im on about the bass link posted in the first post.... the amp pic was for comparing signatures[/quote] Can't see the link at work.... If it's of a signed 'Punisher' bass then the signature should be authentic...

1) Try to leave a Spector or two for others to buy... 2) Get a Greco or Epiphone Thunderbird in black and pimp its ass!!

You're all talking bollox. It's an official ltd edition release of a head Ampeg made as Gene Simmons signature model. He didn't 'personally' sign it, but it is a printed facsimile of an autograph he did for them. I wouldn't buy it though.... it's just a normal Ampeg with a slightly different frontage....

That's a beauty! Needs a tort pickguard on it though....

[quote name='noirpunk' post='345714' date='Dec 4 2008, 05:03 PM']I bought it as is from a KISS fan up in Newcastle. Wipes the floor with my Silvertone Sovereign Pro *suprise suprise*/ My Washburns the best tho, it's the PS500. I got a 78 Greco Frehley copy too. Hopefully I shall be there and I'll say hello. What bass(es) are you gonna use?[/quote] Hey, I have the Washburn & Greco too.... along with the Silvertone (cracked mirror) and a rare Silvertone 'Preacher' prototype! Cool Basses I'll use in the show are an authentic custom built copy of his original 1976 Spector SB1 and a custom built Kramer 'Axe'. See you there!

[quote name='agoulding' post='345914' date='Dec 4 2008, 09:42 PM']im pretty sure he used spector at some point[/quote] Yep, he used a one-off custom design Spector (Based on an SB-1) from 1976-1980 and then again from 1990-1994 before it was sold at auction for over $20000. He also had another one-off (based on an SB-1 with slightly longer top horn) which he used from 1979-1984. He also used an NS2 in promo vids around 1985/86 and an NS2J in promo vids in 1985/86 and 1990. I'll get me anorak.....
