It's not often Richie K is mentioned on BC! I absolutely love him. Always make the effort when he's in the UK. -
Look how the light catches the inlays! 🤤

The mug or the amp? 🤣

What I'd like to know is whether anyone here who uses a big valve head as a home/bedroom amp. I used to use my MJW through a 210 in my study before rearranging the room and going through the audio interface and monitors.

Nice. I've had loads of Hohner basses but never one of those.

https://re-punkd.band/dates Check out this band. Very professional and a great night out.

This is a gem of an amp and a veritable bargain. They're properly repairable (unlike some modern gear) and were the heed of choice for Duff and Flea back in the day. I loved mine. GLWTS. Someone is going to get a bargain. -
This three10 really intrigues me. I've had a BF six10 and currently run 2 x BFtwo10 switchable cabs that give me enormous flexibility and I've never needed more but I do like what Alex does. I can see a three10 on the cards one day.

Bienvenido a Basschat, amigo.

After not owning a Spector for about 10 years or more and missing the 2008 trans blue Euro LX 4 I had, I bought this last week. It's a 2018 Euro LX 4 with a zebrano top. It's like new, came with a custom Swann case and Schaller strap locks. It's been a complete case queen since day 1. I set it up as it hadn't been touched since leavingthe factory. I kept the original strings on it as they are like new. I tweaked the Tonepump so it's now sweet and that's it. These things are phenomenal. I know nothing about these zebrano versions, so if anyone knows whether it was an option or if they were special runs, that would be interesting. What can I say? It's a peach.

Whoops! That's never happened before.

I have a ProShop LP style guitar. It is amazing. It's better than my 90s Jap Love Rock. However... I bought it second hand for £275. I've seen a couple come up for sale and they depreciate horrendously. If you find one used at a low price, it's likely to be a bargain of a lifetime, buy one new and want to move it on, be prepared to take a hit.

There's a thread on TB about why no 35" Scale on Sadowsky basses. This gives some good insight into what is being discussed here I can't paste the link for some reason

The 2018 zebra Euro LX that I have has a sticker on it of a German distributor. Was it a special run or a standard option for 2018?

I saw one on Friday. This one has a very interesting history and is a part of British rock history

A very nice example of an Indonesian Cortek-made G&L L-2000 Tribute that has had some pro modifications. It's trans-blue sunburst ash body and has really nice figuring. It also has the sunburst on both sides, whereas the later ones don't. The neck on these is similar to a modern P. A fantastical versatile instrument that has some very useful pro mods. The original pre-amp has been replaced by a John East MMSR unit and the switching has been modified. It has upgraded tuners. The originals have been replaced with good quality GB500 units that are an upgrade from the originals. It's had a lot of neck work that was done by John Shuker including; replacement Black Tusq nut, full fret dress and set up. All electrical work was also done by John and the switching is as follows: Three-way pickup selector (Neck/Middle/Bridge). Pickup Switching Selector: Up Position = Both Pickups in Series, Mid Position = Inner Coils in Parallel, Down Position = Both Pickups in Parallel Active/Passive Note: The mid position on switch 2 gives an "almost Stingray" sound that gives the bass an extra voice and has been one I've used a lot. In that mid position the pickup selector can be used to give single coil neck, both, single coil bridge options. Great bass and I'm selling just to get some space as I've had a recent addition. From the John East website: The MMSR 3 Knob 3 Band has been designed with characteristics very similar to the original MM Stingray? 2 Band EQ, in order to retain the same interaction between the MM pickup and the electronics, crucial in creating the original pre EB sound colours. The Bass and Treble are stacked which allows inclusion of a Mid Sweep, along with original MM style bass and treble using a 3 knob plate. When the Mid boost/cut is centred, its effect is neutral and the EQ is purely late 70s MM style. This week this bass has had a full set up, fret polish and deep clean for the sale and is fitted with new Rotosound 45-105 Nickel strings. Condition is very good. Weight is: 4.4kg Collection in Gloucester or meet somewhere or I can deliver if not too far. Also, happy to ship. -
At a budget of £130, I'd encourage going secondhand as you'll get so much more for your money. Brands I'd consider include Ibanez (TMB, Soundgear), Cort. Anything made in Indonesia (Cortek factory). Loads of others.

I've just, this morning, set up a 2018 Euro LX 4. It arrived with me as it left the factory, with the factory-fitted strings (D'Addario unsilked rounds, probably stainless?), untouched. It's essentially NOS (new old stock). The action as it came was what I'd call medium-high, or kinda where I set it for players that like higher action, no rattles etc. Way too high for me. It has been a while since I've had a Spector on the bench and it was an absolute joy. You can take the action as low as you like, no limits. It's the lowest of all my basses now and it's not rattling. It could go a bit lower but that would be beyond where I like it. The build quality and design of these is absolutely top tier and the ease of set up is reflected in that.
