[quote name='thedonutman' post='805492' date='Apr 13 2010, 10:40 PM']Spector Spector Spector! Me, a fan boy? Never! [/quote] Me neither. Fat, clear & punchy, just what you want. Nice grain on the clear coats too.

Tried a Spector Euro 5?

Horses for courses - I now use a 5 for the covers band in an rjb style & a 4 for the punk band in a Clarkey style [12 frets for me though mate ]. I find the 4 remarkably easy to play after the 5, but I am only 2 months into my 5-ship and it's a good one. I probably don't [i]need[/i] a 5, but I wanted one and I guess it came down to that.

[quote name='artisan' post='792214' date='Mar 31 2010, 05:47 PM']my old blues band used to tune to E flat (the guitarist was convinced he was SRV). i was playing Fender Jazz's at the time & they only required minor adjustments,slacken the truss rod a tad (1/4 turn maybee not much) & a slightly highter action to make up for the lower string tension. a bit of a pain in the arse but no major problem.[/quote] Yep.

Yes. Unless Rainbow reform circa 1976-78 with me on bass, which is unlikely as Cozy's dead & Ritchie is barking, I have to. EDIT: Good point at the end there, my Hammer friend.

Truckfighters - good call. Rob Wright [NoMeansNo / Hanson Brothers] & Ged - both Canadian too. John off Breaking Yesterday has on awesome tone - Spector / DHA / HartkeFaced. Great player too.

IIRC, one is born either right-handed or with the potential for right [b]or[/b] left-handedness. So bind your nippers left hand early on, force them to use the right and avoid having to pay over the odds for lefty basses. Simples.

LPB. Or Antigua. Red is a P-bass colour.

[quote name='Johngh' post='760213' date='Feb 28 2010, 10:15 PM']Do I have to pack under it to get it to the correct height[/quote] Probably - I did, any hard foam will do. Grey pipe lagging foam is great - 60p for a metre and enough to do most of the UK's basses. [quote name='Johngh' post='760213' date='Feb 28 2010, 10:15 PM']or is there something wrong?[/quote] Probably not.

There can be only one.

[quote name='Toasted' post='747055' date='Feb 16 2010, 11:36 AM']Better get youself one of these too: [url="http://www.essentialsound.com/Essence-dist/index.htm"]http://www.essentialsound.com/Essence-dist/index.htm[/url][/quote] Probably the '[i]Exturded aluminum...chosen for its shielding characteristics[/i]' doing it.

[quote name='Musicman20' post='734923' date='Feb 4 2010, 12:01 PM']...'may as well get a Spector'...[/quote] Yep, get a Spector. [quote name='warwickhunt' post='734965' date='Feb 4 2010, 12:50 PM']There will of course be those who think the opposite and prefer Spectors over Warwicks (paging 'Cetera' )![/quote] Yep, get a Spector.

Great J for P trade with Jon, well wrapped & delivered next day. Good man.

Beat me to it mate.
