    Thinking further on this, it's probably an excuse to bump up the price of the standard Sub Ray4 and in turn, the Ray34 range. It's all about squeezing pennies from customers without providing much extra value.

    They look annoyingly nice (EDIT - until I noticed the control plate was missing, weird) I'll play a bit of devils advocate here - I reckon you'll see these below RRP fairly soon, say maybe £325 or £300 in a "sale" It's still not close to the £190 our friends in the States will be paying, but you'll get your trademark protected headstock shape in an (semi) affordable package.

    Being a 90's kid, they were firmly on my radar when I started listening to music from older siblings and friends. Weirdly enough, seeing them twice have been two of my least favourite gigs. First one was Stadium Arcadium (which I didn't like much of at the time, but definitely more fond of it now) and just last year in Glasgow. They cancelled in 2022 then came back and didn't say a word to the crowd and played for 90 minutes and that was it. I'll still listen to them, but won't be spending £100 on a ticket again 😂

    In case you - or anyone else - was looking for one!

    I do understand that from a consumer point of view - but from the business POV, the more 100% paid up pre-orders for the next batch they can encourage, the better for them.

    Ah yes, the lesser spotted 48 fret neck..... I'm intrigued and baffled in equal measure.
  7. BassApprentice
    Well if you find a whole neck, you could do this!

    I had another look at this and I may understand - this seems to be the Electra III VS4 at £999 whilst the Electra II VS4 retails at £749. So....anyone know the difference? 😅

    Nice! Have to say BassBros work quickly. Can't see the page anymore 😂

    For other retailers, this may not be worth it - but with Bass Bros. and Bass Direct being very close to each other you could try and very good range of basses in one fell swoop, should the one you're looking at not work out.

    Going to throw my (biased) hat in the ring - MTD Kingston series. A bit below £2k, but if you want to spend your whole budget then you can spend it on the pickups. That would almost bring it inline with the US built stuff (apart from it not being hand built)
  12. BassApprentice
    For me, it would the Silver Sky Strat shaped, PRS quality and I'm a John Mayer Fan Boi
  13. BassApprentice
    I see your points @tauzero . I would understand if the headstock shape and peg placement were exact copies of the Music Man shape, but how can they have a cover all trademark for 3+1 no matter the shape, size or accompanying logos.

    Bit of a reshape, but left looks very much like a render and right appears to be a real picture. Definitely looks a bit less odd in the right picture. I call shotgun on offers should you not like it @neepheid 😅

    Been intrigued by this style of bass for a while. I know you can get similar ones with octave circuits wired in....I wonder if that would be possible here....
  16. BassApprentice
    @telbomber is selling one, so surely has an opinion on them.

    Stuck my head into GuitarGuitar for a nosy, not a bad selection of basses overall for once but I was amazed to see the Electra series are now £999. I know it's the same with everything but I remember full fat Sandberg's retailing at £1200ish. Mad.

    Looking forward to it. I know the finishes on the CST have been... disappointing, but the pictures I've seen of the new LX finishes look sweet!
  19. BassApprentice
    If this is still around by the end of the day I'll be amazed! Really cool body shape and the quality will be right up there.
  20. BassApprentice
    There is a 350+ page thread on all things Yamaha BBs...so yes, there's a bit of love there!
  21. BassApprentice
    Fender derived stuff - obviously Sire gets a mention here, branching out slightly, G&L L2500 is the literal swiss army knife of basses. Can do all the sounds and tones. Slightly more modern - MTD Kingston, again will do everything you need, but the 5ers tend to be 35" if that is a deal breaker for you.
  22. BassApprentice
    Ah, yes - that will do it.
  23. BassApprentice
    I am yet to see one, so what is the issue with the finishes?
  24. BassApprentice
    As I commented on the other threads on these basses - really solid release from Spector. Like the colours and especially like the the P J on the 5 string. Interesting choice regarded the difference between bolt on and thru beck for the LX series. Guess it adds more variety to the range
  25. BassApprentice
    Oooooooh - very nice! Any idea of price point for these? (and the new Euro LX)
