That made me smile.

Always a major pain, with that type of device for me. Child that I am, I sniggered inside when I saw ‘physical knob’.

Learning bass might give you some quick results with simple tunes, but like any instrument, it’s not easy and requires dedication and practise, so don’t pick the low end for an easy win, but because you are drawn to it. Whilst you can certainly learn to play by watching videos, reading literature and playing along with recordings, as @SpondonBassed says, it is by playing with others and the dynamics that that involves that you will learn best and become a properly rounded musician.

Visions of China - Japan

I’m sure we’d all like to hear some audio, if it’s at all possible. When I say we, I really mean me, but I’m guessing there might be others too.

Likewise. Don’t get me wrong, I like tort, but it can be so variable and getting it to complement that particularly red ‘burst, might be tricky. Black is all business and makes the colours pop. Of course the best thing is, if the OP doesn’t like the tort, it’s an easy reverse. In fact, an alternative black guard with all the new electronics installed is probably better than stripping the old one.

This has inspired me to alter that well known country music couple: Johnny Rash & June Farter

De La Foul

Send it back, get it fixed. It is tempting to try and see if it’s a simple fix, but if this is on offer, just do it. It hopefully removes the fault returning if you manage a seemingly easy repair.

No need, I could play the section where the bass drops in and there's all that reverb on the guitar on continuous loop. Kudos 👏👏👏

J-L P, Paddington, hard stare incoming?

Very cool indeed. However, this isn’t the Spector you’re looking for

Zak should tell them to stick it up their old, wrinkly arses.

That does look a cracker. Having had one of the newer 4003S models, albeit an all maple one, I can attest to sound and playability. The only reason I moved mine on was the the weight, I should’ve bought a walnut one at the time, which are much lighter, but I was lured by the Fireglo. I don’t think that @Pow_22 would be disappointed with a newer one.

I feel a potential lesson in commerce is available here. I should’ve encouraged Wee Ezette to become a painter and decorator, now I come to think about it .
