Eeeeeh. Absolutely cannot abide folk who can’t read the room. The original 602 guitarist who left and came back (never go backwards) was all about allotted solo time and paining over ridiculous details like how much “space, sonically speaking” he had in which to solo. He was like a fun sponge, as well as relentlessly loud, obnoxiously so…we’d all had enough second time round and he got upset that the drums and bass “overshadowed the nuance in the guitar parts” He sounds like a headache of a slightly different ilk, but equally as irksome. It you have to ask - and you don’t seem over the moon with it, put the feelers out for another band. There’s creative tension, which can be good - and friction which basically will make you want to boil your own head. And the aggression when challenged, having to be taken outside to calm down? preposterous.

@WinterMute I love Ringo - the suggestions get punched in and he replicated it with feel and like you say, precision.

I attempted part 3 when we got home from my brothers 40th. don’t know how far into it I got, so I’m glad I didn’t spoil it for myself…🤣

Ah well. Decision made. Fender vintage noiseless bridge pickup…done

Great to see you back Blue!

He apparently sprayed the bodies from fender in a colour called Peacock blue. Sims did the final fit and finish with the LED necks…and yeah. It was all a bit of a nightmare apparently. 4 or 5 of them ended up with tort pickguards etc. doomed.

Highly thought of mate, not quite at JV levels - £300-£500 seems to be what people are asking £250-£350 seems to be what they’re actually selling at:

Off ill awaiting PCR results… PART 2

I enjoyed it, nice to know “creative tension” was alive and well in the 60’s 😊

Yeah bolt on neck version. Cool.

Meh. not big enough or passive enough 🤣

Nice very very nice.

That ain’t wee wee mate…

I’ve said it before, but it’s worth saying again - I want Spector to Make me a BB, or yamaha to make me a BB Spector. It’s becoming an obsession, think I need to talk to John Shuker or something… There’s equal Love here - but I know I’ll not find another bb1600.

Honestly Bri, even with slightly knackered GHS boomers on, it sounded bloody ace. I made the right choice

Bit of studio time tonight. Bb1600 was ace

That’s a wonderful performance of a great song. how come - (noticing quite lovely “hooky” esque playing) that Hooky is is revered and Clayton is somehow reviled on these pages? I’d do that every night of the week and twice on Sunday for a tenth of what Clayton has in the bank. More power to the guy. I admire him hugely.

Ah yeah - I remember that. He still has an affiliation with them, was in a lot of the literature for “Meters” headphones. I suppose once you reach his level, it’s anything and everything - he’s had multiple signature basses for Fender and Warwick - after playing Lakland for years. A very nice position to be in.

I did battle with a 68 tele neck and a 70’s p body. was never 100% happy
