    Cool

    I use a fender urban double bag - not massively padded…but it works and it’s only me handling the basses so I don’t worry. Has served me well for 10 years. i wanted another bumpy they’re discontinued - a real shame as they were about £60

    Will come in this lovely Gibson bag… £250 plus postage.

    Jenny is super fit (in more ways than one), a half marathon runner and judoka. She should be ok. She’s rough - only time in 10 years of marriage (excluding Cesarean healing) I’ve known her to not be able to get out of bed. She’s in good form, considering.

    Well, I was announced as “colleague of the week” on Friday and got some expensive chocolates (would red wine have been too much of a stretch?!) - she said “aww, well done love - thanks for these…” Then she lost her sense of smell and taste. serves her right, daft bint. 😉😂

    The bank manager (Mrs T) isn’t clear on the core values of the investment. she’s got Covid19, so I’ve given her the credit card with a post-it saying “shoe voucher x 1 pair” so she can order tomorrow.

    No. It’s staying. Various ideas come and go…the Spector works on some tracks and not others - so I’ll take both 😂

    @sshorepunk has a beautiful caprice…must admit, it was that or the Spector I got from you…

    424 has through body stringing too @Al Krow

    Sorry - missed this. Reverse P makes everything a bit more “musicman” - it’s a very pokey bass, and if my Spector shifts, I’m keeping it.

    Think the “2 series” seemed to nail what the 80’s bb’s we’re all about, straightforward and well made. The newer “3 series” have been made with fender fit pickups etc so just seem a bit less special to me. i think a revamped version of the 2’s with the fancy neck joint and little headstock change would’ve been better. But, what do I know…
  12. AndyTravis
    A bit yeah
  13. AndyTravis
    Just a bit far away to try…🤦🏻‍♂️
  14. AndyTravis
    Would love to give this a shot! Looks ace
  15. AndyTravis
    I’m slowing down…must be my age.
  16. AndyTravis
    Wouldnt touch that one with a barge pole to be fair…unless it was £150
  17. AndyTravis
    I think the bb1600 is plenty to be worrying about.
  18. AndyTravis
    Yeah. You know this was the Goldilocks bb… and I wouldn’t find another any time soon… So, Spector is listed here now - got some demos to do later so will be using 414 and 1600

    The best outcome would be a big budget refinish in some lovely metallic paint 😂

    Have seen this on a few White bb424/424x now - I wonder if it’s the type of paint used? My white 424 was flawless, but I’ve seen them with finish splits emanating from pickup screws and neck joints. weird - you see it a lot on the Japanese fender “foto flame” series and Shergold basses can be susceptible to it too.
  21. AndyTravis
    Well…no. But. The studio time I’ve booked won’t pay for itself and although I’d absolutely love to keep this…I can’t at the moment
  22. AndyTravis
    I’d love it mate - always been my favourite JBass…they used to have these in the fender “frontline” magazine. Just bad timing for me 🤦🏻‍♂️

    So in a constant battle with myself for a yamaha bb which sounds more like a Spector, and a Spector which feels like a yamaha bb… I bought this from @Bunion a couple of weeks ago - admittedly on a whim, and it’s a stunner. It was an expensive experiment to see if the Spector LX i sorely missed would defeat the yamaha bb1600 I’ve chased for years. I thought the Spector had won. but… I’ve compared recordings, same room, same amp, same recording gear… And there’s something (to me) that means I can’t let the yamaha go. so. 2007 Euro lx 34” scale, amazing top. slight mark near the jack and a small mark at the side of the fingerboard (bass side, fret 4/5) neither of which upsets the Apple cart. cleaned, polished, restrung with Dunlop superbrights. schaller locks included. Spector gig bag (which is lush). £900 collected - exactly what I paid, but you get new strings and the Dean markleys which were on the bass when I got it. postage is an option at risk/cost. i in all honesty - I want to keep it, but I’ve got to balance the books, and I’ve got some studio time to pay for next month so…

    Sat comparing recordings. when you find your unicorn…don’t let it go. Spector will be listed tomorrow. 👍🏼

    £250 guys - plus postage.
