Blimey!... Surprised to see this one go up, I know how much this bass means to you.
Undeniably a top tier bass this is, I can vouch for that having seen and played it.
I'd say this is the best value for money bass on here right now.
Yep - massive variation in the attractiveness of the finishes.
Waiting patiently for one to crop up with actual photographs and looking fairly attractive too on one of the burst options.
Agreed the standard Spector gig bags are a poor choice for these basses.
I’ve seen the pics of the damaged white one, that’s not due to the bag in that case I’m my view. A correctly shaped Spector gig bag wouldn’t have helped.
Found the photos.
Not sure why the design change on the truss rod.
From memory, I think the truss rod end at the hell is a T section rather than a straight bar so it no longer slides in and out.
