It’s been about 10 years since my last DR trial. Maybe it’s time again - although I seemed to dislike them (hi beams I think) - I’m obviously a bit of a Goldilocks for strings 😂
I’m going through GHS 45-100’s like no tomorrow currently, love them but they die when you breathe near them - 2 rehearsals (so 8 hours play) and they’re useless, well…I’m exaggerating but at £25 a pop 😂
Back in the club.
Sometimes you see a bass and you think “I have to have it….”
So a year to the day I collected my last Spector (435xl) It’s time to go again.
No. To return it to stock would basically be impossible and you’d spend about £400 putting it right for it to ultimately be worth about £600 if that.
If you’re after one, look at one which isn’t hacked up.
If it was about £150/£200 it’d be worth the investment I suppose.
Should’ve kept my 2005 desert gold HH - I wasn’t actually playing much bass at the time, and now it would really suit the band I’m in.
d’oh.
Looks beautiful - as you well know ☺️
I’ve also done a few years in a moderately successful band who used to spend rehearsals drinking and partaking in chemical recreation.
The drummer and myself did not.
so we sat around nursing a couple of beers while the rest of the band got blitzed and could barely stand.
one Sunday we met at 10am, they were still going from the night before - by 6pm we’d done 45 minutes of playing.
I eventually quit. The drummer stayed involved and did another 18 months - surprised at that as he was more sensible than me in most respects.
It’s already been bid on, and I don’t *need* it.
If it was silly cheap - I’d jump.
Thank you though guys - much appreciated.
The bb1600 sounded ace last night and something arriving by end of the week which was a bit unforeseen 🤦🏻♂️😂
not sure what the origins are, possibly from a style of German Double Bass/Violin making?
Or possibly some marketing nonsense from someone like Rickenbacker/Mosrite 😂
