Nip on over to Hipshots web page & look at the D-Tuners…..most if not all do have drawings with dimensions on them, just check the hole centres against you original tuner. Here’s an example 👇

Well if you can’t buy a SH bar the white version you get a mim one painted up, not a kick in the arse colour wise but the flakes aren’t as big as his. Can’t moan really 👍

Aye could be the answer right enough, Euro has active pickups & the Ray’s pickup is passive

Something I’m just wondering about here. My Stingray has an earth wire going to the underside of the bridge where my Spector Euro doesn’t….both are active with an East in the Ray & an EMG BTS in the Euro. I always thought an active bass didn’t need this wire

I relieved Chris of his EBS Comp pedal in another easy going deal on here. Chris supplied up to date delivery/tracking details no problem…..deal in confidence 👍

Nordenbocker ordered @Skybone cheers for the input too @geofio certainly another route to look at

Cheers I’ll have a nose around 👍

Had the Ric out last night again, currently it’s up for sale on here but I “think” it’ll be sellers remorse if it goes. The problem…..I’m running a Frank Bello pedal & it seems to pickup every god damned bit of background noise using my Ashdown rig and Markbass combo, my other basses are fine (Spector) with very little noise if any. I’ve done the cavity with copper tape which did help a good bit but is there something I’m missing bar flogging the Bello pedal ? Cheers for any ideas

MIJ Jazz in Maui blue. Arrived yesterday but only got around to testing it out today. Fit & finish are superb, pickups fine normally I would change them but I’m going to dabble with a Frank Bello pedal and see how it goes with the Geddy settings that are covered in the Bello pedal, *tuners feel fine too* might stick a Hipshot extender on tho. All in very happy…..*famous last words 2 tuners really stiff in turning so looking for a set of HB10’s*

There’s a matte black Ric in the for sale section….🤭. I read a while ago about using glue that’s used for bicycle inner tubes/puncture repair does the trick 🤷‍♂️

Try looking in “Spector Fans” bud, they’ll put you in the picture between models….

Took possession of Chris’s Spector Euro today in a very easy going deal which he delivered to my door. Well chuffed & would certainly deal with him again…..BassChat as it should be 👍

Arthritis in both thumb bases here. I left it far too long in seeking medical help working away from home didn’t really help either but I tried all the natural remedies without success & ended up being prescribed co-codamol for the pain. Cortisone injections x 2 in both thumbs but didn’t take long before the pain was back. I wear tight wristbands pulled down towards the thumb bases tho & it does help

Well Dave the next time your playing Methil club your more than welcome to try my one out. I’m only 10 mins if that from Lower Methil

I used petrol, the stuff you stick in a Zippo lighter & a scuff pad. Sure the board was unfinished on a year 2000 Ray hence the grubby marks.

I’ve tried fingerless compression gloves specific for arthritis but they don’t last that long with rounds on. I tried a couple of wristbands but these type are definitely a bit tighter compared to those terry towelling kind, I wear it just short of the thumb base.

I’ve tried but sold out only had the stacked knobs

Any idea where I can get black knobs ? It’s a John East preamp with a stacked mid

I “might” see what’s left in the sporran if one comes up for grabs….after yourself obviously 👍

Definitely the best thing this year was a pair off wristbands…..having arthritis in the base of my thumbs helps a great deal I only use the one on my fretting hand but it’s a god send. The worst or disappointed more like was the preamp in my Stingray Special it just didn’t have any balls BUT John East came to the rescue with his 3 band eq that’s based around a late 70’s eq when the mid/boost is in the detent position….clever stuff.

Wouldn’t mind one myself
