  1. Great thread - love Duff's classic tone. That new sig bass looks nice..... white with rosewood neck in particular...... I bet the price will be horrendous though. Hope they do a Japan model as I prefer the quality/price to US built versions....
  2. I bought it a couple of weeks ago. The seller just hasn't updated his thread....
  3. It was an original US made Kramer Spector NS2, not a Warwick Streamer....
  4. That was a standard Spector EuroLX he played..... He now has (within the last few months) a sig Spector EuroLX with Sims pickups and a deeper cutaway to the lower side of the neck.
  5. That's a copy someone in the States made. By the way - I found out directly from Micki Free that Gene gave the Lobue to him as a present in late '77 and it was subsequently stolen from the truck of his car, much to his shock and embarrassment.... Here's some great pics of the original: http://axeology.com/LoBue.html
  6. Fantastic 550w at 4ohm bass head in almost mint condition (barely used!) with additional 'Switch 3' footswitch to control Mute, Toneprint on/off and switch between 2 toneprints. Combined current new value is £480+ so *NOW SOLD subject to the usual* posted is a bargain! Paypal or bank transfer welcome as is collection from Woking/Guildford area. Please see my extensive positive feedback (link in my sig at bottom of this post). Cheers! Here's the spiel from the TC website: The TC Electronic BH550 Bass Amp Head is of small lightweight construction but filled with the latest tech that helps you get some incredible bass sounds. Boasting 550w of power this amp will be able to fill small to medium sized venues when put through a large speaker cabinet so you don't need to worry about if your amp can handle the size of the venue. Toneprint Effects TC Electronic introduced toneprint to their pedals a few years ago and now it is available on these new bass amps. With the ability to beam in 2 different effects to this amp from your phone or computer that can be independently controlled and switched between using the front panel toggle. You can load chorus, drive, compression and much more into your bass sound with this feature minimizing the amount of pedals you need to take to your gig. 6 String Tuner With all TC Electronic amplifiers you get a built in tuner and this one can even handle 6 string basses tuned BEADGC. Don't worry about having to bring a pedal to mute your rig while tuning either as the BH550 contains a mute switch to keep your tuning silent. Home, Stage, Studio This bass amp has something to offer no matter the scenario. With standard speakon, heaphone and DI outputs you can connect up to your favorite cabinet, headphone or straight to the desk. However you prefer to play this amp can work in nearly any scenario. Here's what TC Electronic say about the BH550 Bass Head With BH550 we're building on everything that people loved about the original BH250, by simply throwing in more of what made the amp so innovative. You get more power, more punch and more creative features without compromising with the original's ultra-lightweight design. On top of that you get a highly intelligent EQ section, and a build in tuner. And you know what that means... total tonal bliss! TonePrint enabled - for a world of signature effects Ultra-lightweight 550 Watts of raw power TonePrint: Complete Creative Control No longer is your creativity held back by some fixed set of built-in effects. With the innovative TonePrint technology you become the amp designer. So if you need a swirling vintage flanger or a TubeDrive for your next rock gig, or a compressor and a chorus when you play with your funk band, you simply just load them into the amp. This may sound surreal, but trust us, it's THAT easy! TonePrint means signature effects made by the most awesome bass players around, like Victor Wooten, Duff McKagan, Nathan East and many more. These TonePrints are available for free - straight from your smartphone - and with 2 switchable TonePrint slots available, the tonal possibilities are virtually endless. Art. Where Technology And Design Meet Long gone are the days where bassists were the quiet dudes standing side of stage staring at their shoes pumping roots and fifths. Today's bassist is versatile, expressive, loud and ready for his place in the spotlight. To perfectly support the needs of our fellow lovers of low-end, we've designed the BH550 to fit the needs of busy bassists on the go. That means a lightweight, portable design, a killer EQ section and unlimited tonal versatility through TonePrint - plus an on-board tuner. So just like you, this amp was born to rock! Tone Is Where The Heart Is We don't know what magical schools of bass-wizardry our engineers attended, but boy do they know tone. With the BH550's intelligent EQ section we've once again placed ourselves far ahead of the tone-tailoring-curve. Behind the deceptively simple four-dial design lies a frequency range perfectly tuned for bass. So no matter if you like your sound nice and scooped, fat and groovy or filled with high-end sparkle the BH550's tone controls will be sure to cut and boost in all the right places, leaving you sounding your best every time! Backstage Pass - All Access BH550 offers the perfect mix between weight and power, intuitive controls, TonePrint and an onboard tuner making it the must have tool for virtually any bassist. Bass Tuner The BH550's ultra-precise on-board tuner is there when you need it. It's always on, so you constantly have a clear read of whether you're in tune or not. And with a frequency range that supports up to six-string basses, you can be sure that your low-notes will always be in tune! Balanced Output Use the balanced output to send a signal to a PA or a sound engineer when playing live, or use it as a high-quality bass preamp in the studio when recording, taking advantage of the tone controls and TonePrint features. Choose between sending a pre signal for a completely clean and direct sound or chose post to get the flavor of the amp. Plug & Play Use your phone, MP3 player or similar to jam along your favorite tracks. Just plug it into the AUX input and you're ready for a rehearsal session, combining your favorite music with your favorite bass tone! Late Night Jammin' If you like jamming late at night, plug in a pair of headphones for a silent session. Keep it groovin' and keep your family and neighbors happy at the same time.
  7. I'm there! Gigs be damned..... this is 'first in the book'
  8. Almost impossible to date. but it can be narrowed down to late 80's......
  9. Bought a fantastic Hartke bass from Si! Excellent price, communication and packaging. Just how every deal should be..... Thanks!
  10. Wow.... check mate! EXACTLY the same thing happened to me a few months back with a band I formed 27 years ago. Pretty much the same 3 character traits for my other 3 band members too....!! They removed me from my band admin rights on Facebook as well.....Freaky!! Sure we weren't both in the same band?!?!? lol! You're right though. A HUGE relief and bigger better things are often just around the corner! I'm now out on the theatre circuit in a much better band and collaborating elsewhere with higher profile and better musicians. The rest of them - same old egos, lies and the sticky-floor club circuit merry-go-round...
  11. This Friday I'll be seeing our fellow basschatter Bobby Kewley playing bass for The Christians & Altered images on a triple bill with Midge Ure! Sunday will be Mr Big at Shep Bush, then hopefully next Friday Cloudbusting (Kate Bush tribute) at Putney. After that, possibly Simply Dan in Raynes Park on the Sunday.... Corduroy in Guildford on the following Friday and then Airrace/Lionheart in Camden on the Saturday! Phew....!!
  12. Could the chap in Germany who PM'd me about this bass please contact me again with your questions. I lost your message in the site update and would like to reply to you! Thanks!
  13. Lol! Even trying to get this message to open took a minute or two! Looking forward to it all working more smoothly..... but well done to all involved
  14. Bargain! The pickups/preamp are prob worth near the whole price being asked! Spector quality with EMG goodness - what's not to like? Sadly I only play 4-stringers....
  15. The Doobie Brothers and Steely Dan at the O2 Arena last Sunday! Steely Dan were fantastic.... but the Doobie Brothers were something else! Energetic, versatile, passionate and so much more. Absolute masters of their craft whether playing blues, rock, r'n'b, folk or any of their other styles...!!
  16. Best new bass: Original Japanese made Yamaha BB3000 in black sparkle with gold hardware. A monstrous thru neck, passive bass with so much punch it sounds active! Honourable mentions: Original US made Jackson Ontario Concert Bass. Active EMGs, thru neck and lots of RAWK!!! Also, a lightweight but superpunchy old EMG loaded Guild Pilot. A Superjazz on steroids! Best amp/outboard gear: Zoom B3 - SO useful!! Worst thing: Nothing!
  17. Fantastic review, thanks! I've always been impressed with Jeff Genzler's products and still own his fantastic GB Neox212 cab which to my mind is the best value 2x12 on the market.
  18. Yep, still available PM me...
  19. More info would be useful. Where in London? Covers or Original material? What style/influences? etc etc etc
  20. [quote name='bigjimmyc' timestamp='1508918198' post='3395257'] I'll try to post some of the photos I took. Trujillo switched from Spector to Warwick to a heavily reliced Fender Jazz [/quote] Any photos of the Spector?
  21. [quote name='NancyJohnson' timestamp='1508751889' post='3394108']Put Spector on the headstock and perhaps Gary would buy a handful as well.[/quote] Nah, you're OK thanks..... nice tones but this bass is fugly imho..... and I'm not sure who the market is for it? If you want a vintage looking Thunderbird then generally you buy a vintage looking Thunderbird or a copy (lull etc) that looks like one. If you don't.... then you don't.... This bass sounds great but ticks no boxes for me..... I'd rather see a modern version (looks, design, circuity) or a traditional copy. Just my opinion...
  22. A fantastic result....... ......... and a fantastic night in the pub *hic*
  23. Hi all, A very limited edition Spector 40th Anniversary Euro bass has been stolen from Rimmers Music in Blackburn. Please keep your eyes open and do the right thing if you see or hear of its whereabouts. Thanks!

  24. Great song, fine bass line and great writer/producer/bassist in Alan Tarney. Loved his mid-period songwriting/producing/bass work with Cliff Richard - melodic rock/AOR in all but name
