Cool stuff. Enjoy and let us know how you like it!

So, did you buy it? It is still listed on Gumtree as "weeks old" even though it has been online for months. Andy Baxter also recently listed an IH Ltd (different serial number) for a similar price (£96 more). Mint condition and only 3.67kg! (not my bass).

From the ebay listing: "The Richwood Bass Guitar is a high-quality, right-handed electric bass with a solid body and maple top,maple cap headstock with MOP binding. It features a classic 4-string configuration, a rosewood fretboard,with a wonderful mop inlay,and a maple neck. Perfect for bass players looking for a reliable and tonally rich instrument, this guitar is ideal for both practice and performance. The included hard case provides protection for the instrument during transport, ensuring its longevity and value." https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/357216826410?_skw=bass&itmmeta=01JZ7W6WFF1ZBV0XGQBDXNQVTQ&hash=item532bc8342a:g:lcEAAeSwpKNoZjHe&itmprp=enc%3AAQAKAAAA4FkggFvd1GGDu0w3yXCmi1fpfDclk3yT%2BFZA8qy8WOfh37ZmRgrvdWhf1F8W2b1wQ2pUg0VsaYphhJm7EgoiSfwRGxEVgpBDNrehuRgfjus7xYtvD%2BfHQXgLlAvZCz0JBV5d0PzWnSa8NiCMI%2B0aaeCWLaInOBYOquiFYZudo94UHz8IygnszwQ1JT4hsbwCCDhJlWvsMiewu7ckZxOCeLGYtZIuU8r7vr1ksVNrPyag0gIJwHQz9Ye42FrFxPXcYWd%2B%2BjDewwOhMtpdFbOa494Wy8caLqFjP%2FuhkV40IlFx|tkp%3ABk9SR47Im_z5ZQ

The new Peavey Cirrus will be made by NBE in the Czech Republic. NBE also makes the Spector Euro basses. So, the quality of the Cirrus basses will probably be really good and justify the price. However, I genuinely doubt that the Peavey brand is strong enough to convince many buyers to pay more than £3k for a new Cirrus that was not made in the US. We may like it or not, but brands do matter a lot. Sad but true (and that's my musical reference for the day. Mission accomplished ; -).

Could well be. Julie's father, Thomas Walters, was an English builder and decorator 🙂

Thanks. Good to know. I checked the photos and the one on ebay was a 34'' (bridge pickup not aligned with balance and treble pots).

Are there 34 and 35 versions of it? It only said 2016 Ian Hill signature bass, so I assume it is the 34 one.

Well, I tried securing another potential "not for sale" bass, the Ian Hill signature model, today. Unfortunately, I was outbid on ebay 😞

Good idea. However, it is probably only creating a business opportunity for the artists' lawyers.

Maybe read it again carefully. Hint, it is not the "Roger" bit 😉

No? Me neither, but he must be famous. Andertons is selling his Fender signature bass (second hand) 😁

@Paulhauser followed your advice. Sold the Euro as I just could not make it work for me. Still have the Starr, my only "not for sale" bass. Killer combo -solid maple wings, EMGs and the US Haz (originally came with the TP, but I got it replaced with a Haz when they were still available to buy). Man, times, flies, they introduced it more than 10 years ago! Check out this video from the launch event at NAMM in Jan 2015. It shows Mike Starr's sister Melinda, Stuart Spector, and PJ Rubal. Don't know who the bloke on the left is. Any idea?) The video features one of my fav basslines. The one that really got me wanting to buy a Spector. If I would, could you?

Looks familiar 😉 Enjoy 👍

Steve recently bought my Euro 4LX. The whole transaction was quick and smooth. Cool guy. Thumbs up 👍

Thanks, Steve. However, we better don't jinx it. Let's first hope that UPS collects it today and delivers it safely tomorrow! 🤞
