  1. Wow. What a braw bass 😎 GLWTS 👍
  2. Cool stuff. Congrats. It really is one of a kind. The other DW models that BD and Andertons offer don't come anywhere near it.
  3. Agree. The L2k has some amazing tones but old school tones are not really among those. If the budget can be stretched a bit, I would recommend the US made G&L CLF Research L1000. Leo's last take on the P bass. Passive bass with a nice neck (1 5/8" slim C) and some great tones. Currently on offer for a ridiculously low price: https://www.pmtonline.co.uk/g-amp-l-clf-l1000-bass-guitar-pharaoh-gold-firemist The L1k has three positions (parallel/split/OMG) that can get you lots of different tones. Mega old school tones can be achieved with flats like in this video (from 09:43). Ed plays the exact same model the band "The Mavericks".
  4. Wow. Wow. Wow. Is this the DG in Bahama Blue that Bass Direct had? Stuart Spector Design Bass Guitars:: USA :: Custom hand made basses, Bassdirect, EURO, NS, Rex, Spectorcore, Legend, ReBop - STOCK I mentioned it before, for me one of the best looking Spector Euros of all time. What a lovely wood grain. I was tempted several times to click the "add to cart" button 😉 Enjoy 🤩
  5. Wow. £1k is a fantastic price. New Euros cost around £2k nowadays. Dave is also a cool dude. So, buy with confidence! GLWTS 👍
  6. Yeah, £1800 for a Korean made Spector is a lot but prices seem to go up and up and up across the board. Ok, sorry, this is off topic but "high" prices reminded me of some great "low" prices that PMT is currently asking for G&L CLR Research basses (£1k for the L1k and £1.1k for the L2K). These are great basses and the prices are really, really low (I paid more for a used L2K recently): Bass Guitar Sale | Clearance & B-Stock | PMT Online
  7. Nope, I am not into 5 string basses (and the problem only seems to affect these, not the 4 string model). However, if I were you. I would not take the risk and rather see what Spector does about it. Maybe they will present a new and improved version 2.0 at the next Summer or Winter NAMM (or in between), maybe present some new finishes too.
  8. Yeah, I also never use the J on my PJ Spectors either. BTW, here is a recent video in which Ian explains why his new signature model, made in "Czechoslovakia", only has the P pickup.
  9. Great classic looking bass. The IH model also has the thinner neck specs which I prefer over the usual, rather chunky Euro necks. GLWTS 👍
  10. He got it back in 2017. They are both listed on Spector's website: Euro 4LT Rudy Sarzo (red, Fishman) and Euro 4LX Rudy Sarzo (black, Sims). BD also has a limited edition 4LX in trans blue in stock.
  11. New Rudy Sarzo signature bass. Features the Fishman Fluence pickups and preamp. Comes in red. Rudy clearly has good taste 😉
  12. This looks great. I think the black pickguard looks so much better than the white one. I recently bought a bass from Dan and the whole process was fab. I was especially impressed by the super packaging. Two boxes (!?!) and tons of bubble wrap. That's how retailers should ship their gear. Very impressive. So, buy with confidence, you are in safe hands 🙂 GLWTS 👍
  13. I like these new ray projects. Here is the fitting soundtrack:
  14. Easy to answer: 1. More basses 2. Less money 😁
  15. I can confirm that the MIJ Fender Boxer is a fantastic bass. Great quality, great looks and great sounds. I only sold mine as I am not a Jazz neck guy. I always think I will eventually get used to it but that somehow never seems to happen :-(
  16. Posted this before somewhere else, still one of my favs 😎
  17. Man, I was thinking of getting a custom SB-1 too. I have been following this odyssey and I would be peed off big time by now. What the... Hope you will get your bass and love it or at least be told soon what has happened to it to have some closure. Thinking of it, maybe call my lawyer buddy Jim to see if he can help you!
  18. The "game changer" is referring to something else, not the new technology 😉
  19. I like the name, the look and the sounds. Not sure about the LED ring though. I mean, isn't the 3-way lever telling me if I am in clean, alpha or omega mode? There are just three modes, not too difficult to distinguish, right? Anyway, maybe I am wrong and the DarkRay and the LED lights will be a true game changer 😎
  20. Nope. 2'' too short and one string too many for my taste 😉
  21. Spector fans, what's happening? Just saw that Andertons has some great clearance prices for Spector basses. For example, the limited edition Euro LT with the Fishman Fluence preamp and pickups is now £1,999 for both the 4 and 5 string (from £2,439 and £2,479). I used to own a 4 string. Great sounds and looks. Very light too. Only sold it due to the chunky neck shape (ordered it without trying it out first, due to lockdown. Well, lesson learned here). Check it out! https://www.andertons.co.uk/bass-dept/bass-guitars?#facet:1209510511083116111991075840123493242125324941,30744573456166766758311210199116111114&productBeginIndex:0&facetLimit:&orderBy:&pageView:grid&minPrice:&maxPrice:&pageSize:&
  22. This sounds like a good deal. A new Fender American Original 60s P bass for £1,549.00. Only problem is that it does not say when it will become available and with the current supply issues that could be a while: Fender American Original 60s P-Bass Surf Green RW (guitarguitar.co.uk)
