That's not dissimilar to my experience having an Ashdown Little Giant serviced - in fact they paid for the P&P to return it to me.

After my one and only excursion into modding I'm not convinced it is cost effective. My aim was to empty the parts drawer - if anything I added to it.

I think that Ped needs to get a disclaimer on this as soon as...

Another resurrection - I found one for sale and snapped it up. Should be with me tomorrow/ mid week hopefully at which time I'll post photos and a review.

Give them a wrong address. They've wasted your time - waste theirs.

You guys are scaring me... I prefer a light string - the gauges you are talking about would have me running for shelter.

Cheaper still - I just gave my natural finish basses a coat of Lemon Oil - brought the grain right out. They look like different instruments. Changing strings can also bring life back to tired sounding basses especially if you go from, say, roundwounds to tapes or flats - whole new tonal palette to play with. The best surprise of all - playing that near forgotten about bass that you don't normally pick up - even if it is only for the one practice - can change the way you feel about your instruments and your playing.

The price range of Spectors, understandably, varies depending on the model. Top of the range are £3k+, entry models change hands for anything between £100-250. The through neck/ set neck versions are more desirable. The NS2000 is very desirable and under-rated IMO - I had two which I should never have sold during one of my down sizing periods - I don't know why I bother, I just spend the money from the sales on more gear. Think £300-500 depending on condition.

You need to change the title of this thread to "as you'll never want to hear it again". That's horrible!!

...and this solved the problem with the zip on my gigbag..

Interesting thread. I have a similar issue with a gigbag where the zips don't work - I'm sure a simple fix for somebody who knows what they're doing. Maybe a quick visit to YT will yield answers.

I think you forgot your brain and experience...I have neither of these.
