It did go a bit global on a Facebook group or three for a while... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like all good stories, it has a beginning (look at this innovative, unconventional, beautiful bass), a middle (CRACK!), and an end (not just fixed but improved!). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Low End Bee Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 (edited) 90% plus of the gigs and recording I've done since being on BC have been my sunburst (Love the way the bass plays. Still hate sunburst) Precision with a black scratchplate. No point putting it in this thread. It'd be like turning up at a concours de'elegance with a white Transit.

Stub Mandrel Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Well, I say this is the most lovely bass on Basschat, anyone who disagrees is sadly deluded. 🙂 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NancyJohnson Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 I'd certainly say Gary's Spectorbird is a beautiful thing, but if there's one that I just adore it's this. The LEDs are insane and I don't even like Fenderesque basses. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't find a piccy sorry as they've gone I think. A work of art that one and the first bass that came to mind. Maybe a BCer still owns it? Ah yes, I had it but sold it a few years ago - I’ll try to find a pic (that really fits the bill) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
