  1. Gibson should hire this guy. He clearly has much better ideas than what Gibson has come up with in the last few years or even decades!
  2. It is Candy Apple Red. If you go to https://serialnumberlookup.fender.com/lookup/ and put in the serial number (MX13409885) and confirm you are not a robot, the model number will appear (in blue) in the search results. Click on it and all the product specs will appear. Interestingly, the serial number suggests a 2013 model but the bass was actually finished in Feb 2014, making it a 2014 model! I am also still very tempted. Hope someone buys it before I have to explain to my wife why I had to buy two basses on one day 😉
  3. Already working on the PM 🙂 Only two Fortes were ever made in this darker version of the Vintage Tint finish (2 more had a lighter version of the VT finish, so only four were made in total). You now have one (#168), Spector's former VC, PJ Rubal, has the other one (#169): http://www.vintagespector.com/woodstock-forte.html
  4. Yes, it was mine. I'll send you a PM will all the info I've got. It is a special bass. I hope you will enjoy playing it 👍
  5. Cool stuff. Your Thunder Child looks very familiar. Have you recently purchased it used from BD by chance?
  6. Quite a bit late to the party is this guy who, a day after the release of the Pulse 2, demos the Pulse 1. Poor timing 😉 Interesting video though. Showcases the Pulse's versatility.
  7. another one Featuring AIC's "Would". Nice!
  8. Agree, glossy spots on matte finishes drive me nuts and that's why I only have basses with gloss finishes now
  9. Cheers. This video, out of the three I've watched so far, is probably the closest to a review instead of a sponsored product demo. However, the guy tries sooo hard to come across as a cool dude. Annoying 🤨
  10. Both videos sounded really good but I guess these guys could make a broom sound amazing too 😉 I especially liked Patrick playing Them Bones. Nice one. TBH, I preferred the look of the first Pulse (esp. the red one). Although, I heard about the finish coming off after some time.
  11. Spector has now finally officially announced the Pulse II (as mentioned before in this thread, BP magazine had already reviewed it before launch). Here are two demos:
  12. I took the blue pill. Did not work. I am here again. I'll better hide my credit card 😉
  13. Very tempting. Love the finish. However, as I pointed out in the previous sales post back in Nov, "I zoomed in one of the photos and I think the quarter pounder has bigger pole pieces. Yours looks more like a vintage P or the Hot P. I could be wrong though". So it is either a SPB-1 or 2, not a SPB-3. See also the photos I posted in the previous sales post. GLWTS 👍
  14. I hope someone buys this beauty soon before I have to find out how much a refin (metallic red) would cost 😉
  15. So, how much did you win last week and this week? Bass is still available 😉
  16. On the back of the headstock, underneath the G string tuner is a serial number. You can see it in your first photo but it is too blurred to read. The serial number looks something like this: "MX19003133". The first two digits following "MX" (which stands for "Made in Mexico") tell you the year the bass was made in. As mentioned, a few more photos, especially showing the finish better (some are more reliced, some less and I am more interested in the less reliced ones) would be helpful.
  17. Looks better than the original. Very tempting indeed. GLWTS 👍
  18. Wow. Stunning looking bass 🤩 One string too many for me though. GLWTS 👍
  19. Agree, much more difficult to find good bargains but there is a small shop in Belgium that has a Bongo 4HH stealth black (NOS) for the equivalent of £1,900 and a Bongo 4H blue pearl (NOS) for £1,830. Ok, shipping costs would need to be added but VAT should not be an issue as the Belgium VAT would be taken out before purchase and before our UK VAT would be added at the time of arrival. Good news is that the Belgian VAT is 21%, so higher than ours!
  20. How is the HS? I have never played one. I am curious as DV247 have one in stock, also in black (not stealth) for £1,692. Sounds like a very tempting price, especially considering the "new normal" prices. It says "Showroom model/B-stock with replacement neck installed by distributor and scratches on pickguard".
