  1. [quote name='JapanAxe' timestamp='1464089878' post='3056438'] All those bells and whistles but no HEFT switch? [/quote] They made a Heft switch,turned it all the way up & then broke it off! It's small but has heft
  2. I had the Gk MB200 also but I do like what I would call 'working weight'.. heavy enough to feel solid but won't compact the discs in your vertebrae
  3. I made some comment in this thread..http://basschat.co.uk/topic/281118-peavey-minimax-head-anyone-tried-one/page__fromsearch__1 not a review as such & no one does them like you!
  4. Hi, it's the body size, since playing Spectors years ago I've played jazz basses & actually found the larger, heavier body more comfortable for me, which is a shame as I really lusted after a Spector after so long 😢
  5. [quote name='bassment73' timestamp='1462133353' post='3040555'] Cheers Gav Thanks for those answers Keith [/quote] No problem if you have any other questions I'll be happy to answer them!
  6. [quote name='bassment73' timestamp='1462131377' post='3040536'] Hi. Nice bass. A few questions please: 1. Is the case an official Spector one, or generic? 2. Did you (or your luthier/tech) upgrade the pickups and electronics, or did you buy the bass with the upgrades already in place? 3. Is it currently wired for 9V or 18V operation? Ta. [/quote] Hi there, 1. The case has no branding but is fitted for the rebop. 2. I bought the bass with the upgraded pups & electronics. 3. It is wired for 9v Regards, Gav
  7. [quote name='Chownybass' timestamp='1462092984' post='3040130'] I don't think the game has changed either. People like Scott and I are never going to be able to make - for instance - a jazz bass and compete with Squire. They make a solid instrument at an economy of scale that we could never HOPE to compete with. What we can do - is fill up the niches with well thought out and soundly constructed instruments. When making stuff in smaller runs, the things you'd cut to save money when manufacturing thousands, don't really matter. Want a bone nut? Sure why not. Doesn't affect my bottom line particularly much. So with no distributors taking a margin, and doing our own distribution, it's perfectly feasible to make a musician friendly instrument at a good price and of good quality - as long as we work in the niches. That's not to say we're not going to try stray outside them from time to time. It's not for the faint hearted though There is a gap in the market for us at the moment to get stock into independent stores, as a few don't want to deal with the major brands at the moment. Agile brands like us, that can be flexible on stock levels, price and so on will always find a way to wiggle into the gaps. I've often considered blogging about what it takes and took to get Chowny off the ground. But then I think I'd be the only one interested in reading it. [/quote] I'd be interested in reading it & I bet a lot of others would too!
  8. For Sale: Spector Rebop dlx 4 string in black stain matte finish upgraded with active Emg 35dc pickups & BQC pre amp, with fitted hardcase. I got this recently from basschatter TommyK & she's beautiful but I can't get used to such a small & light bass-I actually find a heavier bass with a bigger body more comfy..! So with regret here she is. Lovely condition & sounds monstrous! No Trades as I have my eyes on something specific. £600 delivered mainland UK [attachment=217015:rebop13.jpg][attachment=217016:rebop14.jpg][attachment=217022:rebop9.jpg][attachment=217021:rebop8.jpg][attachment=217020:rebop7.jpg][attachment=217019:rebop3.jpg][attachment=217023:rebop12.jpg][attachment=217017:rebob11.jpg]
