This happened yesterday ☺️ It was a very lovely drive up to Bass Direct in Leamington Spa to drop off a bass for a commission sale, and to also pick up this masterpiece. I am in awe of this bass. I fell in love with Spector earlier this year, and that admiration for the brand convinced me to go for this beautiful USA, handmade Forte 4 in Nightshade, and now named “Stormbringer”. The quality and attention to detail, is second to none. The sound, the feel, the resonance, the playability and the comfort is something I have ever experienced, and I’ve owned a lot of basses in my time. I’ve never had a bass with EMG’s before, and there a real revelation. Also, simple things like having a master volume and pickup pan instead of 2 volumes, just makes me happy. I also love that is has no fretboard inlays. A real classy, clean look. It’s like going from a BMW to a Bentley. Thanks to Ash, and Mark, for all their help as usual. So good to see them both, at last. Cheers all ☺️

That may well work. The one you gave demonstrated would be too big, but if I got the right dimensions for you, maybe we could chat? Thanks so much ☺️🙏🏻

Sorry mods, I meant to post this in the bass section. Can it be moved there please? I’m not sure this thread is the correct one. Cheers ☺️

Evening all. Advice appreciated please. I have 2 very lovely Spector basses (an LX4 and Euro Bolt 4) both with reverse P and J pups. I play very close to the bridge naturally, but sometimes, especially when playing the open E, move between the pups so would like somewhere to rest the old thumb. Does anyone know of custom made thumb rests to purchase? I don’t necessarily want the typical ramp, but if that is the only option, who are the best people to approach? Thanks in advance. Cheers ☺️🌟

So much better. Thank you, and great job. I much prefer dark themes. Cheers ☺️🌟

I have an ‘86 MIJ Precision with a maple board, and the neck does not move. I once didn’t play it for 8 years, and when I did start using it again last year, the strings were still in tune and the neck relief hadn’t shifted. Amazing bass.

Brilliant, very useful. Thank you so much. Thanks to everyone who has replied. Means a lot ☺️

Hey gang, looking for advice on the best octave pedal for live use. Never used one live before, and not really sure the difference between models. I’m not looking for the cheapest option as I want something that will last the test of time, not overly complicated with too many options, plus of course, tracks well. All experiences appreciated. Cheers ☺️
