NancyJohnson Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Well, I was lying in bed at the weekend and put in a cheeky eBay bid on this and it came home for 350 post-Brexit pounds. After I sold on my Waterstone, I still had a hankering for an eight or twelve. So it's a Korean Spector eight string...the jack socket was a bit loose (fixed), put on a new set of fundamentals and stuck it through the dUg earlier. It sounds huge, amazing really. I'm sure it'll be on new Lutz stuff. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uk_lefty Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 I was thinking about getting myself an 8 string the other day... Would love to hear this in a band context once you've got it recorded! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Krow Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Spector + DG AO900 + Barefaced cab. Hmmm... now where did I see that recently? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NancyJohnson Posted February 27, 2020 Author Share Posted February 27, 2020 Had a bit of a noodle...pleasantly surprised. Neck is very comfortable. Only a couple of things; would have liked the tone knobs to have had a centre-notch as they have a +/-12db boost/cut, so it's not easy to hit a flattish position, or too easy to just boost everything. Will probably shim the neck when I change the strings. Action is 2 or 3 mm at the octave. Can't drop the bridge any lower and I do love a rattly action. Pickups are fine; Output more than adequate (actually dropped them a few mm). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
