Billy Apple Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 (edited) I say, what's this? Edited February 6, 2016 by Billy Apple Quote
Cameronj279 Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 It's a box. Where do I claim my prize? Quote
HowieBass Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 Those floorboards have some nice patina... Quote

r16ktx Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 Beautiful, really like that the only fretboard marking is the clef and the body and fretboard woods really complement Quote

mr zed Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 (edited) I like the box The anticiption of what's inside is almost as good as what is actually inside - just like a fine looking lady in her underwear Lovely looking bass BTW Edited January 19, 2016 by mr zed Quote
Billy Apple Posted January 19, 2016 Author Posted January 19, 2016 Been busy playing it, but here's a few more... Quote
HowieBass Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 Nice looking fiver there... and I wonder what the neighbours thought when you decided to take your new bass out for a breath of fresh air? Quote
spectoremg Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 Is this your long-awaited custom job? Quote
Bassman Sam Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 That fretboard is a bit nice. Lovely bass. Quote
Lozz196 Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 Spector - he`s gone and bought James Bonds bass. Quote
Billy Apple Posted February 6, 2016 Author Posted February 6, 2016 [quote name='spectoremg' timestamp='1453235454' post='2957762'] Is this your long-awaited custom job? [/quote] Yes! But alas we've not been able to bond yet. It arrived with TW's and an OBP2 instead of DC's and an OBP3. So it's gone back to Bass Direct for some swappage action. Quote
Billy Apple Posted March 5, 2016 Author Posted March 5, 2016 I got the Forte back in the week and the DC's are fitted with the OPB3. John Williams at Noiseworks who does Bass Direct's Spector warranty work was kind enough to rig the pre with two batteries to run at 18V. I can't begin to tell you how much bass this bass has. It's so heavy it creates its own black hole! I decided to fit my new beta test D'Addario's, but want to do things properly so it was dropped at The Gallery on Thursday for the change and a set-up.

Billy Apple Posted March 19, 2016 Author Posted March 19, 2016 Got the bass back from the Gallery on last Saturday morning. It's been given a very lovely set-up, Martin is a top bloke. I then went on to the LBGS and guess who I ran into.. Quote
