I find that as a 100% self taught musical ignoramous who only really learned for fun… that there’s quite a few bands I’ve been in where I would be the only person to understand what @xgsjx was talking about… - that’s unfortunate then other bands there’s been fully trained amazing pros and I’ve kept quiet and try not to mess things up too much

I like the way that something seems to have have squashed the fretboard in the other side of the 1st fret too! I'm glad you didn't end up with a criminal record after getting a bass back like that! And three cheers for Jon Shuker

was on my watchlist... was going to bid... then my 3 year old had a meltdown and at one point bit me. "did you bite me?" "no my sister did" "your sister was in a different room" "no she bit you" "She's also 6 months old, and only has one tooth!" And I missed the auction.

I do wish the blue one in your lineup above had had lollypop tuners

I used to go to a church where there would be a pile of songs we would "probably" play and the leader would just pick and choose as we went led by whatever was happening in the meeting and what other ppl were bringing. Musically you could either get grumpy and annoyed by a lack of structure... or embrace it and get a really good musical workout and enjoy having to write baselines on the fly.

That’s not a quarter pounder SPB-3 but a SPB-1 I prefer the one you’ve got bu a long way!

But I didn't go this year?

In this thread yes!

Sorry

All blade pickups! Toaster next?

I saw this on ebay. I'm glad I didn't bid as you had been lusting after it for years.... and I only saw it on the ebay ad!

One with flats, one with rounds …

They sound like characters in a childrens tv show!

It’s ok it’s also on eBay at a different price so I think you will get away with this one https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Wal-Pro-1983-/373789734565?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l6249&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0

Wow - all this hate for Spector, you feeling ok?

Is it going to wear flats or rounds?

Their MEC pickups were close copies of the EMGs they used to use - I had a 1985 thumb and the Original MEC preamp was such a good copy of the EMG they had even copied the silkscreening that said EMG! later they fell out with Schaller by copying their own hardwear made by someone else and not solid brass

I’m wrong it’s a bloody hole

I’m not sure it is now!

Oh yeah its sticking out rather than a hole dug in

Is it a block? It looks like a trench dug in to me

Fixable by the right person though

Ah fair enough that sounds like a good reason.

have a look... see if the values are different of either pots or capacitor. I would look at strings before pots, but all being equal It might be it's just a different sounding bass!
