Serious case of "Seller's remorse" setting in...

Oh dear, Mick, was it you who let that lovely bass slip through your hands?

If it's making a Sadowsky sweat (which tbf I would have kinda expected, but hey I'm just a teeny bit biased) then it's serious quality!

@AndyTravis what is it about the seriously good looking, sculpted body, reverse PJ set up and Spector punch that makes you partial to this bass?

Erm. Dunno. 
 

I like playing it. And it sounds good.

Very “direct” sounding.

But it can’t do the slightly pushed vintage thing the Sadowsky has nailed on. So, if I could get both sounds in one, I’d be made up.

As I always say, there is a golden rule in life: only ever sell a Spector to finance another one 😉

Who is she? Forgive me if I'm being rude, reverse searching the image on Google doesn't bring up a match. 

Alejandra Villarreal, bass player in "The Warning" together with her two sisters. They are really good.

The first two statements..... nah. The Spector? Yeah, stunning....

C'mon, she is just 15 years old and I really hope "The Warning" will be huge with their record deal. This is the next generation and we really need some new rock bands. I am sick of all the EDM stuff and I hope more and more kids of EDM listening parents want to rebel and re-discover good old fashioned rock. That's why I also like Nandi Bushell who is a great drummer for her age (10, I think). She will join the Foo Fighters on stage at a concert when they tour the UK next. I will be there 🙂

BTW, Ale will also have a Spector sig bass next year. Someone over at FB showed it. It is a bit too bling (sparkly gold) for my taste but great to see Spector supporting young talent 👍

There are an awful lot of rock bands, and being 'only 15' isn't really a qualification.

They sound good, they are clearly competant as a rock band, and hope they do well for their sakes, but there are no real edges being pushed there are there?

Stop listening to EDM stuff then and leave it to people who want to listen to it. There is plenty of room for everyone.

Just had a listen. I'm mean they're ok, but a bit Evanescence Lite. I'm with @cetera on this one.

They are still "teenagers" and I think they have the potential to go places. Opening for band such as Aerosmith, Def Leppard, Alice Cooper and the Killers is definitely a good start, don't you think? When I was that age, I was not playing in a band, I was not even playing an instrument but listening to "Who's that girl", "The Living Daylights" and "Never gonna give you up" on the radio 😉

BTW, you really should be with me on this one because otherwise I will ask my wife to bail me out and give me an emergency loan (£900) and you know what I will do with that money 😆

As I said, they are still teenagers and already opening for big acts. Let's see how far they can take it. I wish them all the best 👍

Sure, feel free to listen to EDM. Still hope rock will have a (mainstream) comeback. Maybe this pandemic just makes me nostalgic and I just want it to be 1991 all over again 😞

Actually my 'ead has got the better of my heart on that one, so the field of battle is clear for you to storm to victory! Although as much as I love the idea of the bass that we both have our eye on, I struggle to believe it will outshine some of the Spector beauties already in your herd!

Nice one, I think it is called creating a "cognitive dissonance".

Don't worry, I was only teasing you, the BB is not on my radar, so please, "listen to your heart" (yes, nostalgic today) 🙂
