Very nice! Seems 8's are a bit more available nowadays with peeps like Shine, Dean, Hagstrom, ESP and of course Hamer (still) doing 'em.

Cheers guys and many thanks for the offers! Dan

Afternoon, I was wondering if anybody knows any shops based in the south east that stock Spectors? I'm in Horsham in west sussex. Cheers Dan

wow........the green one is fantastic....i'm going have to start saving me pennies!

Had read in BGM that he was gonna be playing with D & M, thought he played some good stuff considering the material, always liked "Crazy Horses" but the guitar player ruined that for me! Yuk, horrible almost clean tone when playing a rock number...tsk tsk...

Cheers! And whilst I'm here............BUMP!

Don't know if anybody else has posted about this but there I was flicking thru BBC Interactive and I come across a section with highlights from Muse's hometown gig from last week, start watching it and 2 songs in..hang on.. what's that bass he's got...blimey...it's only a headless Status! Last bassist I saw playing one of those was Rhino from t'Quo! Then on the next song, Chris is using what looks like a mirrored finished, maple necked custom jobbie (a Manson perhaps?), did look very cool!

How about this.....

IMO the current issue is a marked improvement on the previous one so I think the mag is heading in the right direction, the interviews were definitely better: the Janek interview was very interesting and especially for me the Michael Anthony one was better than the interview with him in Guitar and Bass mag! One thing though, I dont know why the guy who writes about his Scholarship is going in depth on all the techniques he's learning as the other guys who have written for that page tended to tell you more about the whole experience of going to a music academy which I for one found far better reading. I'd like it if they would bring back the "Hometown heroes" thingy that Niceguyhomer was featured in (if my memory serves me right?) and my only real complaint which is pretty much the same as everyone's mentioned here regarding the reviews of basses that are WAAAY out of most peoples' financial limits!

good luck!

It is a Squier MB-5 (apparently discontinued now) - here's some info..... Featuring a solid body, Maple neck and Rosewood fingerboard, the Squier MB5 puts a non-traditional spin on the bass. The P/J-bass pickup configurations and passive EQ give the Squier MB5 a crunch and punch all its own. Squier MB5 main features include: Agathis, Sleek Contoured Body Neck: Rosewood, C-Shape, (Polyurethane Finish) Fingerboard: Rosewood, 12" Radius (305mm) 22 Medium Jumbo frets Scale length: 34" (864 mm) Chrome hardware 2-Over 2-Under Die-Cast Mini Tuners Special Design 4-Saddle Bridge 1 Split Single-Coil Precision Bass Pickup (Mid), 1 Single-Coil Jazz Bass Pickup (Bridge) Controls: Master Volume, Pickup Pan Pot, Master Tone Dan

Best bass I've had in my time playing!

Ah...I've been thinking of getting some replacement pups for my Fernandes as it has a naturally "zingy" sound due to the maple neck but after finally gigging it a couple of weeks ago I've realised that I need some pups with a bassier tone, so I guess it would be a pair of '84's I might need to get?

I have, some vids are good with interviews and lessons with well known players and others can be a tad talky!
