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!

I'm glad the neck is rescuable. the string spacing is... odd.... the neck side markers an even stranger choice by someone!

Since I joined basschat that bass was what I expected you to have. I wasn't sure about midlife crisis WOT with his blue limelights and marzc...German polish basses.... but now all is right with the world ✌️

Doesn’t it go black around steel things like screws? And it’s heavy as

If you wanted something built by ESP you could look at Grassroots, Ltd, Eii, Edwards, ESP and Navigator… (that’s before you get into what they build for other people… the idea of building to different price points isn’t that unusual - otherwise a Harley Benton jazz bass is under £100 - why did you spend £750?? Are you telling yourself it’s better than the guy with the £100 bass on the same bill as you? Was that smugness too?

actually if I was looking for a CS, @WishIcouldplay has a lovely one up for sale. Or had, it might have sold
