    [quote name='warwickhunt' timestamp='1500405031' post='3337547'] Unusual in as much as the back of the bass appears to be flame maple when you generally get plain Alder (or is it Ash) with the veneer/sandwich models; it is more like the early Euro models that had solid Maple wings... nice! [/quote] It appears to have a black walnut sandwich line down the side though which confirms it is an LX model. Lovely bass! GLWTS

    Bought a TC Amp from Dave. Excellent communication, item as pictured/described and sent in a very well packaged box. Thanks Dave!

    [quote name='spectoremg' timestamp='1499558257' post='3332226'] [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Custom-1993-SSD-Stuart-Spector-Design-NS-4C-Bass-Guitar-/322575784735?hash=item4b1b03db1f:g:FRQAAOSw9~5ZWMQe"]http://www.ebay.co.u...RQAAOSw9~5ZWMQe[/url] Guys, can you run your eyes over this please - seems a bit weird to me. [/quote] This used to be mine. It's an old European SSD which the original owner (before me) remodelled to include the dark wood mahogany inserts. A strange one that I bought cheap from him then sold on a year or two later for a similarly reduced but slightly profiting price. The next owner then sold it on again to this seller who has raised the price considerably! lol! It's an OK bass - not as good as it once was as it's been messed with and certainly not worth what the current ebay seller has it at! An oddity for sure...

    This cab used to be mine...... and if I had the readies I'd be tempted to buy it back!

    Actually - just realised I have 4! Have a free bump for a great amp that should have sold by now!

    If I didn't already own 3 of these and (3 original GK400RBs!) I'd be biting your hand off!

    Look forward to it! Great venue, plenty of parking and nice room splits/staging areas....

    Yeah, nothing fails to sell a bass to me like 2 basses soloing together. 99% of bass playing is locking in a groove and I'd much rather hear the inherent tone of a bass i.e. is it punchy, growly, grindy, full-toned, weak, hi-fi or flat sounding.... in a real playing environment....

    As it's my local shop I pop in there fairly frequently. I can tell you that they are only just beginning with their bass ventures..... They intend reorganising elements of the shop floor/separate rooms to add many more bass brands and increase the amount of bass equipment. They are well aware of the limitations their current bass room has (not least all the metal on the walls vibrating as soon as you hit a bass note) and are lookign at ways to reorganise displays/shop layout. I for one am thrilled that they're now stocking Spector, Darkglass etc and I'm looking forward to their new stock/displays/layout even if it takes months to organise....

    [quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1495738351' post='3306293'] I hope that Cetera is reading this thread - he has one which I tried to buy from him without success - hope this thread reduces his opinion of the Bass and pushes the price down.. [/quote] Yep, I'm reading...... and no price reductions happening here. I've never been one to care for the vanilla tastes of my fellow basschatters

    cetera replied to Jus Lukin's topic in Amps and Cabs

    I know it doesn't exactly address you flat frequency response issue..... but I'd say just try different cabs and see what YOU like for YOUR circumstances. I've tried 2x10's, 4x10's, 6x10's,1x15's, 2x15's, 1x12's, 2x12's and combinations of them..... and by various different well known manufacturers including BF. My PERSONAL faves have ended up being the old Mesa/Boogie Diesel 2x15 and the more recent (& more portable) GenzBenz Nx212T. Why? Because they have most accurately produced the sound I like to hear when combined with my basses, amps and pedals of choice. Ultimately, no amount of engineering/physics talk will change how YOU hear it.

    Spector customer service is the best.... bar none! If you need to email PJ at their NY headquarters he will get back to you asap and is super helpful. With a Spector you are also joining a group of loyal and passionate owners/players who will also help you wherever & whenever they can I have owned a ReBop4 (& hope to own one again). Great tight and focused sounding bass that will punch through any mix with ease...... My only criticism is the neck dive due to the small and light body. A good, gripping strap can tackle this to some extent though.... If that is too much of a risk then I can heartily recommend saving a little more and going for the stunning EuroLX range. Probably the best basses of their ilk (build/sound/comfort) at that price point! Hope that helps!
