thedarxide Posted April 3, 2008 Posted April 3, 2008 It looks similar to the Spector holoflash I had. You really had to catch it in the right light though, otherwise it just looked dusty! Quote

d-basser Posted April 3, 2008 Posted April 3, 2008 i got a red one of these, lurvly, got mine £200 cos its got some poorly undone mods but it is a really nice bass, someone snap up this black one before i decide i want another Quote
Machines Posted April 4, 2008 Posted April 4, 2008 Nice - I played one of these a fews years ago and it was only £300, should have got it. Quote
The Burpster Posted April 4, 2008 Posted April 4, 2008 Damn it, if that wasnt a skinny neck I'd have had that... its effing gorgeous! (or it would have been when ladled with bob love and tweaking!) Quote
budget bassist Posted April 4, 2008 Author Posted April 4, 2008 haha i'm glad i'm not the only one that likes it! I'm not gay honest! Quote
BigRedX Posted April 6, 2008 Posted April 6, 2008 So anyone here buy this then? I was going to have a punt, but something else caught my eye at the last moment... Quote
pete.young Posted April 6, 2008 Posted April 6, 2008 Sounds like someone got a lot of bass for 200 quid. Also looks like it went to someone who collects ornaments, judging by his feedback! LOL. Quote
