cetera Posted February 21, 2008 Posted February 21, 2008 (edited) Just thought I'd post a 'porn' update. These are my three latest purchases..... From left to right: 1) 2007 Spector Euro NS2CRFM (not LX) in 'custom' gloss white. This is my first 'endorsement bass' and it's a cracker... looks stunning, plays like buttah and growls like a growly thing! Another Spector is now on order... 2) s/h Fender Precision Jap 62RI. This bass is approx 10 years old but almost mint and the vintage white is just starting to yellow nicely.... Never particularly wanted a Precision before (except Phil Lynotts), but this one just spoke to me as soon as I picked it up. It feels like part of me and has a lovely round tone.... 3) Early 90's Peavey RJ-IV 'Randy Jackson' signature bass. I got this active beauty for under £200 and it really is quite superb! A full, bright tone with a lot of oomph, a hipshot de-tuner as standard and a very fast thru-neck. I love it! Edited February 21, 2008 by cetera Quote
Shockwave Posted February 21, 2008 Posted February 21, 2008 I want the spector soooo bad. Damn the synchronicity connection. Quote
E_MaN Posted February 21, 2008 Posted February 21, 2008 The peaveys colour is awesome, reminds me of Troy Sanders custom colour on his deluxe anmerican p bass...very nice Quote
dmz Posted February 21, 2008 Posted February 21, 2008 Nice P-bass - I know what you mean when you say if felt just right....... When you find a good 'un it's best to keep hold of it. Quote
cetera Posted February 22, 2008 Author Posted February 22, 2008 Thanks guys....! Yep, the white Spector really is something to behold. There's just something about the colour, clean lines, ergonomic shape etc.... The 'P' is a revelation....I'll be putting flats on it too. I'm sorting a black Jap 70s P RI anyday now....which will get a Wizard Thumper and some roundwounds on it... The Peavey is a kinda grey/silverburst with a hint of sparkle...... looks even better close up... and the sound is superb! Quote
7string Posted February 28, 2008 Posted February 28, 2008 Very cool !! How does the LX fair up against a US version ?? The Peavey Randy Jackson was an absolute steal. Didn't he have a duck on one of these on his "Mastering the groove" video ??. I'll have to dig it out and have a look Quote
cetera Posted February 29, 2008 Author Posted February 29, 2008 (edited) I had them make me a solid maple Euro made NS2CRFM rather than a EuroLX.... It's lovely and I don't believe there is a noticeable difference between it and a US made equivalent. All the Euro models are superb value for money and I swear by them... Re: the Peavey.... yep, Randy plays one on his tuition vid from years back.... I'm stunned by the quality of this bass.... particularly at the price I paid! Edited February 29, 2008 by cetera Quote
7string Posted February 29, 2008 Posted February 29, 2008 Whoops, NS2CRFM (not LX).... apologies. I've only ever played the US NS2 and damn good they were as well. Great feel, great sound... Quote
