I don't even own a bow... Oh no!!! Bow GAS!!

Welcome..

I have an empty no name 2x10 cab which could be used as a donor and I'm not that far away.

THANK YOU!!! The neck on my Yamaha BB615 has a front bow...because I'd let the truss rod off. I'd hoped that this would straighten the neck. I realise now after reading your post that it needed tightening!! 😖😖 I've taken up most of the tension and the relief in the neck is much better. I'll have a look tomorrow after the neck has had time to settle and readjust it. Again, thank you. 👏👏

I've had a few Spector basses and never seen this issue. When Stuart owned the company he was always very approachable. Not sure what the situation is like now that the company has been sold. The brand has a good reputation and will probably be keen to protect this - contact the Customer Service Team for their take on this. You may not get a refund but I'd be surprised if they did nothing.

I think I have one of these in grey.

Welcome to the TE Appreciation Club. They're amazing, aren't they...

I was looking at these on eBay recently as replacement for the roundwounds on my recently acquired G&L. Are they worth a go?

You're right, thank you. Just goes to prove that not even I'm perfect...sorry to disappoint those who believed I was..😉😉

Rob, welcome. You haven't done anything wrong and string choice really is a matter of choice - nothing wrong with your purchase and there is no reason to change the strings. You could alleviate most of the bow on the neck by relaxing the tension a quarter to half turn. Don't overdo it. If this doesn't alleviate the problem completely then the same amount of adjustment the following day will move you closer to where you need to be. Lots of information on the net and as long as you don't overtighten (remember that you are loosening) and snap the truss rod you can't do anything that can't be undone. The bass has been unadjusted for many years so go slowly.

I've found that sometimes corporate incompetence can work in the customer's favour. My brother complained to NTL when they had the TV contract (before Virgin got the contract). To reimburse him for their error they gave him all the channels, including the film and the porn channels, supposedly for a month. They never turned this compensation off. I think he had this till Virgin took over. Amazingly incompetent ...
