discreet Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 One could have no better tribute, in my humble opinion. And it's white. Quote

Conan Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 Interesting that they are still listing the TonePump as "boost only"....

Not that it matters, as it's hard to get a bad sound out of it. The TonePump is highly underrated imho. Quote

The only problem I had with mine was that it lacked the (more recently added) trimpot. The output was just too damn hot! Quote

Cosmo Valdemar Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 Don't talk to me about trimpots... Quote
Cosmo Valdemar Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 Just seen the bass. A fitting tribute. Although whenever I listen to AiC, particularly Dirt, I hear an orange Spector... Quote

cetera Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 A nice tribute...... but tbh it's just a standard white Spector EuroLX.... :/ Quote

RhysP Posted January 24, 2015 Posted January 24, 2015 I love Spector basses but I have to say I think the white finish/gold hardware thing looks chintzy as f***. (Mind you I'd think that about any bass with a white paint job & gold hardware). Quote

[/quote] To be fair - Rachel Bolan and Mike Starr have been influential in the use and promotion of the Spector brand for many years. I would argue that over the years (after Sting) Gene Simmons and Eddie Jackson (Queensryche) have been more influential in their use though and deserve sig models more.... but Gene is too expensive (and has his own basses) and Eddie now uses Mike Lull's live....
