Matt sold me his G&L LB 100. The whole process was top of the pops. Today, I received the bass (next day delivery!) and I was pretty impressed by the super secure packaging (double boxing!). Much better than what you get from most shops. Great stuff. The bass itself really is in excellent condition (as mentioned in the ad). I think you could put it in a store and no one would think it is used. It plays very nicely too. So, I would like to thank Matt for selling it to me for a great price 👍

I was not aware that there is a tonal difference between US and EU maple. Well, every day is a school day, I guess. For example, who knew that there is a difference between an African and European swallow either? 😁

Thanks for the clarification. Interesting. He did not mention any of that when I reached out to him (ebay seller) and I even mentioned to him that he must have bought it just before I was about to buy it.

The new Wimbish signature bass comes with the new Spector Legacy Preamp instead of the Tonepump. Maybe that explains why it sounded similar to the NS2.

Several Spectors in action:

Nope, never played it but judging by the photos and Andy's description (see link below), it sounds like the real deal. Back in April 2023, I sent him an email asking about the neck shape. I then went to work and by the time and I cam home, the bass had sold 😞 It then re-appeared two weeks ago on Ebay and I contacted the seller who was the guy who bought from Andy. I bid for it, but was outbid 😞 This week, the seller then reached out to me saying that the buyer was a scammer and the bass was back up on Ebay. Unfortunately, I could not afford the asking price 😞 Interestingly, both Andy and the guy on Ebay sold it as "European alder body and is topped off with a stunning flamed maple top". However, it has solid maple wings, which, at least for me, is an important part of the Spector recipe (together with neck-thru design, active EMGs and the Haz preamp (or clone or Haz pedal)). https://www.andybaxterbass.com/products/2003-spector-euro-4-amber

Because I missed out three times on this bass, first time two years ago and now twice within two weeks. This is a killer bass and I am sure you will love it. Congrats 👍

Is your new Spector a 2003 Euro 4 in amber by any chance, listed recently on Ebay?

Info about the pedal can be found here: https://au.donnermusic.com/products/donner-dark-mouse-distortion-guitar-effect-pedal or on Amazon here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Donner-Mouse-Distortion-Effect-Pedal/dp/B07P46L936?ref_=ast_sto_dp

I am giving away this Donner Dark Mouse Distortion Pedal. It is a Rat clone. It works fine, but the sound is not for me. Consequently, I am not using it and it is only collecting dust. It only cost me £15 used (no box), so it would be too much of a hassle to sell and post it. Well, see it as my Christmas gift to the BC community. Collection only (Leicestershire).

Spector Euro 4LX Ian Hill, the PJ version please.

Some great Spector deals from PMT:

Not much happening here. What about some good Black Friday deals? Very tempting (esp. the red Euro 4X), just no funds available for any of them 😞

Good that I don't need the new strings to arrive any time soon 😉
