    I am sure Fender will eventually release an American Pro 11 but at the moment we are still only at nr 2 (II) 😉 BTW, there is no Ultra II, at least not at the moment, maybe you know more than us (NAMM is around the corner so maybe you have some insider intel :-). There is a Vintera II and an American Vintage II though.

    I am confident that in one universe of the multiverse, this makes perfect sense.

    I also think Sterling by Music Man should reach out to Sting and offer him a Ray 34 as a signature bass. Would then be the Sting Ray 34. 😜 Ok, ok, I better go 😉

    Very tempting but someone has to by my 74 Fender P from Andy Baxter first before I have money to spend on beauties like this one.
  5. Eldon Tyrell
    Not to mention that there was also a US made Music Man SUB and a Music Man S.U.B.

    Ok, I'll better go offline before it gets worse 🙂

    BTW, the photo only shows 4 strings. Where is the 5th? Or do they only put it on at the till? 🤪
  8. Eldon Tyrell
    Talk you OUT of it? Really? You do know that you are on Basschat here, so the least you can expect is that we'll do our very best to talk you INTO it 😉

    Is it possible to see some photos of the back of the bass please? What is the weight? Cheers!
  10. Eldon Tyrell
    Yes, he mentions it in this video (2:42). Let's hope that Spector brings back the previous model (with or without the J). The current signature model is a limited edition anyway, to celebrate 50 years of JP (well, the 50th anniversary was in 2019). That's why it has the big inlay. https://www.spectorbass.com/product/euro4-ian-hill/

    That's how his previous PJ version looked like. I guess I have to try and find one now!
  12. Eldon Tyrell
    Sorry, Dave 😝

    Cool looking bass. Reminds me a bit of the bass that this random bloke is playing here 😉 GLWTS 👍

    Right time of the year to enjoy this classic from 93. Wait, that's 30 years ago!! Man, time flies 😞
  15. Eldon Tyrell
    I know Spector started with natural wood finishes back in 77 (walnut wings) and in the 90s started with all the fancy wood tops (buckeye burl etc.). However, for me the black and white gloss ones are still my absolute favs, esp. Eddie's black one and Mike Starr's white one. BTW, in case some of you haven't done so, check out PJ Rubal's (Spector's former VP) website that features his basses from all pre-Korg eras (i.e., Brooklyn, Kramer, SSD and Woodstock): https://vintagespector.com/index.html I think he must have one, if not the largest collection of Spector basses, probably closely followed by our very own @cetera 🙂

    If your budget is not enough for a NS-2, here are some gloss black alternatives: Spector Euro 4 Classic in black for £2.6k https://www.thomann.de/gb/spector_euro_4_classic_solid_black.htm Spector Ian Hill Signature bass 50th anniversary for £2k. Great price but the JP inlay is a bit of an eyesore. Sorry, JP fans 😉 https://www.bassdirect.co.uk/product/spector-euro-4-limited-edition-ian-hill-black-gloss/

    Same here. Check out this headless guy and his great take on two of my fav QR songs. Sounds killer! Kramer era NS-2 in gloss black. Man, that's the bass to have (and my black Forte was modelled on it, incl. the thinner neck specs, just without the inlays and with black hardware instead of gold).
  18. Eldon Tyrell
    Also check out his Spector sound on Enter Sandman on the Black album (isolated bass track from 3:06). Cool stuff.
  19. Eldon Tyrell
    It now says "pending" (and it is not me). Did one from here get it? If yes, then congrats! You scored the Spector deal of the century. A NS-2 (EMG Xs, Haz 9V, gloss finish) sans crown inlays in mint condition (at least when I sold it 4 months ago, home use only) for £2k? 2k?!? That's less than what a Euro costs and not much more than a Korean made Dimension. Man, as I said, deal of the century!
  20. Eldon Tyrell
    Really? Maybe a tiny, tine bit at the very beginning (Queensrÿche EP and The Warning) but later albums? For example, Operation Mindcrime (BTW, one of the best concept albums of all time, in my humble opinion) does not sound anything like IM. Check out my favourite Valentine's Day song as an example 😉
  21. Eldon Tyrell
    The bass that probably started it all in 78 (or at least one of the very early reverse P ones) Followed in 79 by the ultimate reverse P (J) bass - Spector's NS-2 (here a Euro Mike Starr from 2015)
  22. Eldon Tyrell
    I recently bought a pedal from Ben. Nice and smooth transaction. Quick delivery and well packed. Great stuff 👍
  23. Eldon Tyrell
    Wow, maybe I should check our attic too 😉
  24. Eldon Tyrell
    Ok Hope you'll enjoy your new Ricky/Wicky 👍
  25. Eldon Tyrell
    Ok, but what is the connection between Wicky Wacker and Rickenbacker? Are Rickenbacker players known to like the Wiki Wacker cocktail an/or silly straw hats?
