    In all fairness, the bass shown is a "90s era Fernandez Nikki Sixx model/Spectorbird copy". I just posted it for the, well, let's say, "interesting design".
  2. Eldon Tyrell
    In case you still need some design ideas, check out what Spector posted yesterday 😉

    Man, red and black, my fav colour combination. Very tempting. Ok, I better immediately take the blue pill 😉 GLWTS 👍

    Man, this bass looks stunning. What a lovely wood grain. Last year, I bought two basses from Dan and both transactions went super smoothly. Buy with confidence! GLWTS 👍

    Fender should have called it the "Fender Marmite" bass. People either love it or hate it. There's not much in between. I feel my role here is to be somewhere in the middle of that, kind of like lukewarm water 😉

    as I said, I am mad. Just ask my wife 😉

    I like the understated look of the body but the block inlays are a big no-no

    I wanted it to look like this

    BD really takes great photos. I am almost tempted myself even though that's my (now former) bass😎 Got it late Jan this year and only played it at home a bit. It is in showroom condition, absolutely flawless but not what I had envisioned (I talked about it in this thread as well, page 41) and yes, I know I am mad 😉 So, yes, please go for it @hiram.k.hackenbacker Won't get a brand new NS-2 for such a price ever again (esp. after Spector's recent price hike and the fact that the no-frills Fortes are no more either) 😉

    Agree, interesting concept but the look of some of the knobs and the block inlays are not my cup of tea. My fav: Least fav:

    Check out Spector's Woodstock Custom Collection: "Introducing the first ever Woodstock Custom Collection: a series of 11 one-of-a-kind Spector instruments. While each one of these instruments features the legendary NS design, the wood, electronics, aesthetics, and design choices have all been determined by individual members of the Spector team. Many of these instruments also feature all-new options for the Spector USA Custom Shop including matching headstocks, fingerboard binding, unique tonewoods, all new colors and stains, and more. This initial batch of unique instruments will be available through Chuck Levin’s Washington Music Center, Ish Guitars, and Fret Nation beginning on March 10, 2022.

    There is also a new model coming - Pulse 2. There is a review in the current issue of BP.

    I recently bought Andy's Classic Sabre bass. Transaction went ultra smoothly and Andy was even so kind to organise the delivery as well. Cool stuff 👍 Looking forward to buying another bass from Andy!
  14. Eldon Tyrell
    Great looking bass. Congrats, Andy. However, did not know that you were a Wolves fan 😉

    Looks great. When I had my Pro II, I got myself a pickguard from Thomann. Brand is called d'Andrea. 20 quid and really good quality. Could not notice any difference between the original Fender one and the replacement one.

    We should not let labels bother us, it is just great music and let's celebrate it 😃
  18. Eldon Tyrell
    Another groovy STP classic. It is pretty easy but soooo much fun to play 😃
  19. Eldon Tyrell
    Maybe you should get both the 4HH (Egyptian Smoke) and this 6HH, that would give you then the 5HH you are looking for, well at least on average 😉
  20. Eldon Tyrell
    Oh man, this reminds me of this movie scene (from 1:40) 😉

    I spent my weekends trawling the internet on the search for an EBMM Stingray 4H, 2EQ, natural, maple fingerboard, with arm and body contours (so, no pre-EBMM and no Classic). One of the places I regularly check is the Bass Gallery and they don't have my 2EQ SR but they do have the same Bongo 5HH in Egyptian Smoke that Bass Direct lists. Yes, it is exactly the same bass. I checked the serial number - F07975. Interesting, how can the same bass be in two different shops and for two different prices (£1,399 vs £1,200) at the same time? https://thebassgallery.com/collections/bass/products/ernie-ball-music-man-bongo-5 https://bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Bongo_5HH_SH.html

    Well, what can I say? It is a nice song and that's probably the nicest thing I can say about it. Nice.
  23. Eldon Tyrell
    Agree. Interstate Love Song is another great one to play
  24. Eldon Tyrell
    not strictly grunge but Stone Temple Pilot's Plush has some great lines. Very melodic and consisting of several interesting but not too difficult parts (so an amateur like me can also handle them and gains some sense of achievement ;-).
  25. Eldon Tyrell
    Rooster is great and yes I am a bit biased as a big AIC fan. These are my other AIC fav lines: Man in the Box, Angry Chair, Sea of Sorrow (only one string but still cool as, well, I cannot say as what ;- ), Bleed the Freak, Would, Junkhead, It Ain't Like That, Down in a Hole and and and. Play them on one of these 😉
