See my previous answer.

Jeff Lynne's ELO at London O2 Arena last night! Wonderful songs, fantastic musicians and vocals, stunning light show and an atmosphere of smiley, happy people singing along..... oh, and my 'young at heart' Mum by my side enjoying very minute. Precious moments for sure :)

My band tell me that my Spectors sound fabulous..... Now, if I was to believe it's all in the fingers then it's ME who sounds fabulous! Happy days!! 😎😁🏆 I'd say it's more 50/50 though. Me playing an e.g. SG bass wouldn't sound as good in our band context.

Mine too..... and add some hair on the top of my head! lol!

I think everyone has their own holy grail, a bass they arrived at through influences, fave tones, feel, looks, value for money, ability to fit most/all musical situations...... endless other reasons etc...... but mainly that just feels 'right' and almost an extension of their musical self. Mine is the Spector NS2. YMMV.....

Can I get an 'Amen'! ❤️

Fantastic album...... though my all time fave Rush album is Farewell To Kings! Not sure I'll get it.... but will probably buy Geddy's Big Book Of Bass :)

Ah, a familiar group of Spectors there! Welcome :) I still want that Forte X!

Sorry buddy!

£202!

Congrats! Quite the score! I'll give you £200 for it if you don't end up getting on with it.....

Fantastic! Peter Cetera's bass on Dialogue (Pts 1 & 2) is awesome and worth the purchase price alone!

Bargain! Buy! Buy! Buy!

MYOB 😂

No shock you feel could ever match the disappointment I feel in myself.... 😂😂

Indeed....... lol!!! You lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky b*stards..... 😂

Sadly I've never seen/played one in the flesh either, but all reports have been great. Obviously, as with all things Spector, build quality and attention to detail will be excellent. It's down to if you like a Super-Jazz and it feels/sounds good to you....

Once I've cleaned it up it should be worth around £850 but it's a beauty that I won't be selling!

This ^^ . And of course the ''flat' tone may not indeed be flat on some of the amps as they each have their own voicing. I'm sure most of them could be made to sound like each other with some simple EQ-ing if required..... One of my fave things about the bash was hearing the range of tones we can all produce...... from Nancy Johnson's gnarly rock tone to Frank Black's beautiful double bass style fretless tone to OBBM's traditional warm tone to Richard Searle's muted picked tone.

Got it 😉

Noooooooo! They're the devil's work!!

I never said anything about 'economic dominance'. All that shows is the spending power of a large demographic. The subject is 'What (if anything) killed rock 'n' roll?'

Regardless of 'how many women and gay men' are buying (they never bought much 'rock' music so not sure of the link to this subject?) - rap and associated genres are to a large extent the new 'rock n roll' as they share many of the same male-oriented themes. personally I can't stand most of it but I can see the link in themes.

That's true but large amounts of Rap tracks etc are hardly respectful to women, yet they are hugely popular. Videos etc of Rap and associated styles are full of cocky men showing off, fast cars, partying etc with girls fawning over them.... just like rock music used to be. You'd think that would be rejected....
