    No it's dark grey. It might seem a strange colour scheme but it works, quite classy.

    I'd say it's 1. Not original and 2. it's authentic, which is different. Peter

    I'm looking to sell my Les Evans 4 string. The bass was made for a customer (not me) by this Liverpudlian Luthier. It has a beautifully sculpted body with very high quality Schaller hardware including an adjustable bridge. The neck width at the nut is 1 3/8". It's active with a John East U-Retro that has bass, treble and sweepable mids. There are switches for active/passive blend and a bright setting. Pickups are Kent Armstrong. The neck definately has some wenge in it and is a 7 laminate with a 6 bolt fixing. The finish as you can see is a dark grey that with the gold hardware looks remarkably classy in an understated way. There are no 'dings' in the finish and only slight marking on the rear of the bass. Here's some photo's: If memory serves correctly I paid a little over £600 for this bass (it was a part trade deal) but given the present market I'm looking for £450 plus delivery. It comes with a well padded gig bag and a Levi leather strap complete with matching straplocks. If you're near you're welcome to try it out/collect. Peter

    Now we are talking skinny necks aren't we? Here's a few shots of my Les Evans 'Jazz' that is about 1 3/8" at the nut. The bridge and tuners are very high quality Schaller units. The neck is a 7 laminate construction with a 6 bolt fixing: Peter

    Apols as I haven't checked out the video but surely depending on your technique the two can become one and the same? Peter

    Hiya Edd how are you? I have a superb bass that has J style pickups but a very svelte body shape and a neck slightly thinner than a Jazz. It was made as a custom bass by a luthier in Liverpool. It even has an adjustable bridge. It's fitted with a John East U-Retro with active/passive balance, bright switch and sweepable mids. If you are interested pm me. I can get some photos done. You'd be welcome to pop over/meet up to try it out. It's in great nick too. Peter

    The 'Tonepump' imo is great, it's full on mid biased bass. Spector aren't green and they didn't ignore the competition when they conceived this pre amp. From the platform of a strong mid frequency it gives you the ability to add tons of bass and treble. These basses are always going to be 'out there' in the mix and that maybe isn't a bad thing. We would be the 1st to complain when an instrument doesn't 'cut the mustard' and I can think of a few manufacturers that might apply to. It makes a change for us bassists to complain when a bass it too hot Peter

    Jeez Anndra I can't believe anyone made snidey comments. The girls are a bonus but your gear is always sound. I'm no Fender fan but that is a beaut without doubt.

    As I'm sure you are aware Al the ACG pre will give you a much wider spectrum of tones. The only possible problem I see is the existing active pickups. Alan at ACG or John East would be able to advise you here. I like the tone pump for what it is but if you are a one bass covers all the bases type of guy then I can see the issue. I've read through the thread on TB and don't totally go with it. I'm sure some guys don't 'read the tin' and appreciate that the tone controls are boost only and then think about the significance of this. I'd say check out the switch option 1st (I'm going to check it out myself). It probably won't have any resale implication and could be the cheapest, easiest and most Spectoracular way of getting something more versatile. Pedro

    I hate to go on about this and, I really shouldn't but.... I'm busy writing an essay, behind me is the Harlot, all my other basses are put away (I normally have 3 out at once) and you know, the Amboyna burl gets more beautiful every time I turn around. It is so classy. Yep it is THE most beautiful creation. Have you every noticed when you're writing an essay any distraction is grasped? Peter

    The mighty niner. I'm looking forward to it too. Soon. Then Dave's beast. Those single coils are going to sing
