[quote name='tom1946' post='712209' date='Jan 14 2010, 07:20 AM']Christ that's gorgeous How does it compare to say a deluxe jazz? ie' power and tone?[/quote] Thanks Tom, not played a deluxe jazz, but one of the reasons I bought this was the great improvement in vol & tone over the Ged Jazz I had - I've never needed to use all the bass or treble boost available. The other reason I bought it was the neck... -

Righto chaps, I have [s]a hankering[/s] now hankered for a certain white 5-string Euro LX. This unfortunately means shifting this little fella. Bought as ex-demo from Bernie Goodfellow in early/mid 2008. I think Stuart Clayton may have played it once too. A fantastic player, though the poor thing has taken a back seat since the Spector arrived & only used twice in the last year, once at an outdoor festie, where I got such a great sound out of this bass and a 30-year old Peavey, I wondered why I spent all the money on other gear. The other time was at the covers band rehearsal the next day, when I forgot it was still in the gig-bag and had a nice surprise when I opened it up. If you can get to Worthing, you are welcome to come & try it. [list] [*]Glossed natural finish [*]Satin finished maple bolt-on neck, 34" scale [*]2-band EBS preamp & mid-cut switch for all the slappers out there, I sometimes switch it to check it's still working [*]Vol, blend, B & T [/list]No dings, 2 very minor issues - the battery cover has lost it's, er, cover, but it's nice & tight in there and it's never come out on me, which is more than the wife can say. There are also some light fingernail marks on the scratchplate under the G-string and over the neck pup. Again, very much like the wife. [b]Price - [s]£500[/s] now £475[i]+ delivery[/i] in s/h, but perfectly servicable ABS Stagg case[/b] [does have a couple of logos sprayed on, could easily be covered up with black spray paint]. [b]£450 w/o case[/b], which I would prefer to keep if we meet. [b]Will also consider trades for something P-like, with cash my way[/b] Thanks for looking, John.

Righto chaps, I have a hankering for a certain white 5-string Euro LX. This unfortunately means shifting this little fella. Bought used from world renowned Spector loon Cetera in Nov/Dec 2008, and responsible for starting my Spector love. A fantastic player, even in my hands and if someone could give me a bunch of money so I could have both this and the 5, I would be a very happy man. This is however, highly unlikely, hence the sale. Since getting this, I have only played my KSD twice, once at an outdoor festie & then shortly after at a rehearsal 'cos I forgot it was still in the gigbag and that is a nice bass too [and probably also for sale]. [list] [*]Natural oil finish [*]3-pc rock maple graphite reinforced thru-neck, 34" scale [*]Alder back wings, walnut slice, flame maple top [*]Active EMG P/J combo with individual vol knobs [*]Tone Pump B&T circuit [*]EB Hybrid Slinkys [0.045-.105] [*]Lovingly waxed & lemon-oiled as necessary [/list]Couple of small dents which are unnoticable in normal use - 1 by jack socket [inherited], 1 where forearm rests [inherited], 1 on underside of fretboard around 6th fret - not on the neck & not felt during play, only if you feel for it with fingertips - almost broke my heart when it happened until I realised I couldn't feel it anyway. Bloody guitarists. [b]Price [s]£750[/s] now [u]£700[/u] [i]+ delivery[/i] to UK mainland in a mint Hiscox hard case.[/b] New UK price is around £1500, I believe & list considerably more. Here's a older pic from Cetera's collection, I hope he doesn't mind me using it [it's the one in the middle]. I will get fresh pictures up tonight, though they will be taken indoors, I'm afraid. More pics - Small forearm ding in the flame maple top, unable to photograph the jack socket blemish Fretboard ding, underside of 6th fret Thanks for looking, John.

Stupidly Easy Tunes Which Are An Absolute Pleasure To Play

[quote name='cetera' post='696534' date='Dec 30 2009, 05:59 PM']'JohnnyLager' has also bought a Spector from me in the past & would, I'm sure, be willing to vouch for me too.... [/quote] Indeed I would and I would again if the Euro 4 LX box wasn't already ticked. Not that it stops me drooling over this bad boy, someone is on for a bargain...

band guitarist problem are we being unreaonable

[quote name='peety' post='625085' date='Oct 13 2009, 03:16 PM']while i'm on the subject what are the best places to advertise in peoples expeience obviously we haven't been in this position before ?[/quote] f*** him, move on & keep practising with the rest of the band so you're tight as when the new guy comes along - it will make it easier for him to integrate musically. You could try Bandmix, Forming Bands, Partysounds, et al. I found Bandmix the best & Forming Bands sh*te, but YMMV. And good luck. -
Top day all round and many, many thanks to all involved, particularly Nik & Colin for all their hard organisational work and all those who presented workshops - you know who you are. Special thanks again to Nik, for driving the Magic bus up from the south coast. My personal gear highlights were - Nik's BC Rich David St Hubbins' JJB Precision Boo's 30" SX Jazz Dave C's Gibson SGZ & yet again, Stingrayfan's G&L It was also nice to try out the Digitech BSW I recently acquired, as I am currently ampless! Most thanks however, must go to Mrs. Lager, who foolishly let me go to the Bash, despite moving house on Friday afternoon. I think I may have to get her some chocolates or flowers or something. Unless she settles for the mic I won...

The Landmark, Pompey, 10 or 15 years ago - my midweek sports specials' fella turns up at my gig, having found out what his bird & I got up to on 'uni scuba club' nights and dragged me off stage for a panning. One brief scuffle later, he was thrown out & I was back on stage finishing the song - 'Kerosene' by Big Black if I remember correctly. Happy days. Similar vintage at the Black Prince, Pompey - the drummer kept getting fiddled up by the landlord, so we felt bound to intervene on his behalf. After a while of watching it unfold, anyway. La Cage wine bar, Havant, 20-odd years ago - packed the place with punters, barman tried to offer us some derisory sum of money, came back the next day to speak to the boss [Butch], ended up stuck in an alleyway with said [very hard] Butch and 3 of us were saved from a right battering by a timely beer delivery man. We graciously accepted the derisory amount.

[quote name='lanark' post='618676' date='Oct 6 2009, 03:38 PM']Either a money's no object, or if you're short on cash and can only afford a single cab, which would be the best use of that one box for all occasions?[/quote] Can only comment on the latter & chose a Barefaced Big Juan. Presented with the former situation, I'd get another or maybe even commission a Double Big Juan ™ to sit under the Matamp I'd also commission.
