How very odd, i was only thinking of this bass not two days ago, shame i cant afford it big bump for a stunner -
My wifes just lost her job, so will have to sell this -
Streamer stage 1 - all maple body neck through , PJ pickups 3 band EQ Streamer stage 2 - afzelia body neck through , JJ pickups, 3 band EQ Streamer LX - maple body, bolt on ovangkol neck , PJ pickups, 2 band EQ Streamer LX (Jazzman) ash/ekenga stripe/maple top , bolt on ovangkol neck, splittable musicman(series/paralell/single coil) and jazz pickups, 3 band EQ Streamer LX $$ Ash body, bolt on ovangkol neck, two splittable musicman pickups And various signature types PNUT 1,2 AND 3 etc All very diffrent ive owned stage 1, LX and Jazzman versions and loved em all, still Spector copies though the jazzman sounded so good, but i hated the neck, jazzman = jAZZ pickup and musicMAN pickup, still a streamer hope this helps

Thats the thing! check if your pickup is ceramic and get a alnico one, nordstrand and seyour duncan do respectable versions and the bartolini is very warm, i had a Nordy in my old sterling and loved it, it does sound like you just need to get a diffrent bass

Batman's Bass!!!! that chuffin special!! -
Thanks Frank He's right it plays like a dream, nice slim neck(you dont even notice the 35" scale) and the frets are perfect, very easy to play,and sounds fantastic, as i said this was going to be a reluctant sale and after doing "hairspray" last week with it, im kinda resolved to keep it, im going to give it a week then im keeping it.

[quote name='Evil Undead' post='1296445' date='Jul 7 2011, 08:57 PM']Wish you had some ashtrays If you do, by any random chance, please PM me [/quote] sorry i dont have any ashtrays, i do have the front pickup bell cover for a jazz, that i dont really use, i stick it on every now and then coz i think it looks great, but it gets in my way when im playing so i end up taking it off -
what a gorgeous example, i had a westone as a youngster, really well made and sound fantastic a bargain- bump -

Thats absolutely stunning, sonic blue is my favourite colour on a jazz bass , just love it- big bump

Up for a reluctant sale is my gorgeous Spector CRFM5, it is a 2001 model which means it has solid quilted maple wings, USA rock maple centre core/neck and the full Brass bridge which makes it a lot closer to the USA custom jobs than the current EURO LX model , it has a natural oil finish showing off the beautiful grain pattern, the fretboard is rosewood with mother of pearl crown inlays and has a 35" scale neck (i suspect this may be one of the first 35 inchers) with a 17mm string spacing. The original Aguilar preamp was replaced by the previous owner with and East U retro deluxe preamp which we all know is the ultimate on board pre however as the pickups are EMG DC 40's and are active the passive rolloff on the pre doesnt work (if you turn it all the way down, it does kill all the treble for a massive wooley dub tone though), i have spoken to John East who explained the passive tone in the U retro isnt designed to work with EMG'S, so really the preamp is exactly the same as a standard retro The addition of the East does make this a versatile beast, i play a lot of musical theatre and its covered most styles easily with a bit of tweaking, the core sound is very clear and focused as you would expect from an all maple bass but can produce a lot of bottom end, and unlike standard spectors the mids are well catered for with the semi parametric Mid Eq. Condition wise its in very good condition its previous owner has looked after it very well, a few very small dings here and there, and a tiny one in the fretboard about 17th fret when my daughter tried to play slap bass with a book it will be shipped in a full aluminium warwick flightcase, but i am not willing to ship overseas sorry!!! I am wanting £900 + POSTAGE!! i will however entertain 5 string (Early yamaha TRB5 a preference) or EUB( wav 4) trades with cash my way!!! let me know what you have, Thanks for looking some much better pics can be found on the Spector porn thread, , any questions please PM me [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=78081&st=40"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=78081&st=40[/url] link for better photos, scroll down a bit [attachment=84150:000_0010.JPG][attachment=84149:000_0007.JPG][attachment=84148:000_0009.JPG]

Some bits still available -
Ive had my JV jazz 18 years and will never ever sell it, fantasic instruments and as you say originals are going for daft money ( i paid £120 for mine, but must have spent £1000 on mods and refrets/dresses over the years) mine is very modified and a true players bass,this is a steal and i want it-Bump!!
-
I had the Bigshot IO for a while a great peice of kit and makes changes very quickly my one gripe was the volume control on the back for one of the channels could only e changed with a screwdriver which made balancing adjustments a pain if needed on the gig, not a massive problem though!!
-
That is lovely i love the finish, i wish my 5 was that colour!!- bump

[quote name='Smash' date='Jun 23 2011, 04:35 PM' post='1279780'] Hey I noticed these a while back [url="http://www.accugroove.com/minigroove.pdf"]http://www.accugroove.com/minigroove.pdf[/url] and wondered if anybody has tried them, to me they look awesome and my favourite sounding cabs ever have been Accugroove. I'd love to try these too, but i would be very surprised if many (or any) have made there way to these shores, i do love my Tri 110l's very light, punchy and clear, not big on really deep bass but i dont look for that!! great cabs i mostly use just the one and keeps up with large bands (sometimes up to 15 peice) very easily, two of them provide enough ooomph for rock, shame we dont see too many of them about.

I used Monster for years, and whirlwind early in my career, i use evidence audio and zaolla cables now and i love em very clear tone with little colouration however contrary to the OP they are expensive, you pay for what you get, i did use planet waves for a time and must have got 3 as they kept breaking , one was knackered right out the box :angry:spend a little more on a cable and it should last a lifetime. The OBBM cables sound more to your needs, high quality and not too expensive.
