I worked with a guy once in a guitar shop...how he sold anything is beyond me. ”sounds like snowflakes falling on a frozen lake” ”now you’ve bought her, you need to name her” stuff like that. awful. He was put on a disciplinary eventually after 4 months of missed targets, We’d found a folder on our workstation PC full of poetry he’d been writing while we’d been working... ”isn’t she beautiful?” ’it’s a second hand Mexican strat mate...’ I think he moved to another branch and quit in the end. A lovely lovely bloke, just toe curling at times.

Guitars, basses, cars... giving these items genders or names. ”she’s a beauty...” 🙁 “here’s my SWEET AXE, L@@k 🍌 SHE’s called LORESHA”
-
Workhorse basses, sub £350 you’re laughing
-
Thinking for myself...there’s definitely a regained enthusiasm for Spector basses. Looking at possibility of a Euro TW for new year. Just so ive not got 2 the same.
-
Yeah - a proper set neck, 2 pickup version. not a p/j bass 😔
-
There was a planned Rivoli Reissue a few years ago, they did some casinos with trans shell pickguards and lighter bursts etc. I waited, waited and waited...the guitars came and went, the basses just disappeared off the price list. there was a photo of one on the initial press release. It was more like - the casino was denoted as 1961 reissue.

Like L@@K on eBay...

Well this was an interesting find...

YOURS 😉 -
Wonderful. That’s a beautiful bass @BritBass 2 - great that is a “famous” one too. Pinup first bass players all over the world 🤣
-
So @BritBass 2 is that yours in the original advert - the grain looks remarkably similar. Its in great Nick too!
-
Oh my god. That’s wonderful

Weighed this earlier - 3 times to get an average. 9lbs every time. Guess that means it’s...9lbs. Did the same with the Sadowsky which is also 9lbs on the nose. Weird, feels lighter than the Spector- maybe because it’s physically larger so it’s spread out a bit more.

There have been a few Rivoli’s on eBay recently... Have no idea what use I’d have for one, but I love the look of them.
-
Keith bought a status from me - lovely chap. We’re working on something with Mr East regarding the pre, but it’s been a pleasure. Many thanks x

When I was 16/17 I was game for anything

Wonder where it is
-
This was it 😆

This was it on eBay last time... Long shot - do any of the Spectorphiles on here know of an SSD NS-94 with LED’s in the fingerboard. It was on eBay a good few years ago, but in about 2000/01 it was mine and I always wanted it back. This isn’t it - but it looked very similar.
-
I had an NS-94 like this with LED’s many moons ago and have been looking for a Spector for a good while now

No sold the status to sort wife’s car which we’re limping across the finish line until we sort a new one (to cater for Iris’ Wheelchairs etc) in jan/feb. Should've changed it 2 years ago, but when we realised Iris would be a wheelchair user, we elected to hold on until we knew where we stood on motability etc. Sold a non functioning (albeit still fairly posh) watch and an Ashdown rig to fund the Spector.

Omega geneve - about 35/40 years old. Have got one which belonged to my grandad in my safe, gets serviced etc - wore it for his and Grandmas funerals, wedding day, brother wore on his wedding day... This one was a cheeky bid on eBay About 3 years ago but wouldn’t hold time and I meant to sort - but didn’t get Round to it and he fancied it. Too nice for work, so I didn’t need it. Wear older Seiko 5’s and a couple of Swiss rotary’s for work. I made on the deal as the prices are creeping so he still got a good deal.
-
Genuinely thought I was turning up to look at an overpriced legend...so I was absolutely buzzing. The natural one they’d had previously was more than a fair bit worn...
-
My drummer is mega excited - he toured Germany with a guy who was an endorsing artist for EBS about 5/6 years ago “I furkin lurve dat ebs click when der’z slapping”
