[quote name='MacDaddy' post='796878' date='Apr 5 2010, 07:51 PM']What are the Axe basses like to play? I mean in terms of weight and balance?[/quote]

Weight is reasonable on both... though balance on the Kramer one is a little neck heavy....
Both sound great though!

[cetera]

I had it home with me so I took some more pics of the 'Geddy Lee' Wal....

I've just secured the purchase of this.......incoming in 5 weeks time! Been looking for one for AGES.... can't wait to get it!

Ladies & Gentlemen - a very rare and unique looking 1983/84 ESP Surveyor bass :

[chriswilliams666]

You dont need that. But that would certainly go in my PJ collection.

That surveyor looks amazing.

[cetera]

Cheers chaps!

I'll see how it sounds.... but may upgrade with EMGs.... and a blue mirror scratchplate

[doctor_of_the_bass]

Nice collection Gary!!!!

(he says!!)

Seriously, you are nearly as bad a boy as me! We should get together and open the world's biggest bass shop!

Hope you are keeping well and spitting fire/blood etc!!!

Nick

[cetera]

Cheers Nick! Yep, all good & busy here!

I reckon between us we probably have the finest collection of basses in the country eh? Maybe it should be a museum though as there's very few I'm looking to move on....

[Paul S]

Wow.

I'll say that again.

Wow.

Which do you use the most?











I can't help but notice a glaring omission, though......


(sorry, couldn't resist...)

Thank you Sir!

Well..... they all get played.... but I guess the most played is the pre-Kramer Spector NS2 in cherry sunburst.

....and yes there is a glaring omission
You know how to put that right though..... lol!

Hmmmm..... ok, there's an idea....

[cetera]

A couple more recent arrivals.....

Inspired by the quality of the all-blue ESP 'The Surveyor' featured earlier in this thread I've just imported a couple of rare mid 80's ESP 'Masayoshi Yamashita' basses from Japan.... (the 2nd one is active and EMG-loaded!):










Just need to find 5 mins now to put them through their paces & see what the multi-P pickup configuration is capable of!

[Lorne]

Damn nice collection Cetera

We had a lake placid blue E.S.P. Precision in the shop I worked in,in the early 1990's.I could have had it for £150,still kicking myself now,20 years later

BTW,you have too many Euro Spectors and I would suggest you give one to me,especially as I don't have one

I may have ONE you could BUY off me

[yorick]

Apart from the pick-up "placement" the ESP's look great.

LOL,seen how close it is to christmas mate,the boss would kill me if I bought a bass,I am swapping a bass and a g**tar for a pair of basses though

Nige....Surely that's what makes them 'great'.... otherwise they would just be dull PJ basses?!

[WarPig]

More great basses Cetera. Loving the ESP's originality

[Herbsley]

Always a good thread to visit when you fancy ogling some fine Spectors - among others of course.

Given your loyalty to the brand, you should think about contacting Stuart and putting together a Cetera Signature Edition!
Any thoughts to the model, spec, and colourway you would insist on?

Or do you already own one which you secretly think [b]should be[/b] the Cetera Signature Edition?

Lol! Thanks! That would be nice!

To be honest I think an NS2 in gloss black with a thinner neck (like the pre-Kramers/Kramers), gold hardware and a HazLab preamp would have to be my 'signature' model.... and I already have one of those!

[Herbsley]

Cool.

Just need to bang a 'Cetera' sticker together on Photoshop, slap it on yer black NS2, and email a pic to Stuart with a link to this thread and the simple message of - "Dear Stu. Thoughts?".
I'm sure that'll be job done.

[cetera]

Hmmmmm..... *thinks & rubs chin*....

[rmshaw37]

i'm so pleased i've found you!

IS there another bass like the punisher - or even similar?

i'm in love with mine for all occasions, but obviously it doesnt look the part in all occasions!

cheers bud

[Wil]

Mr Cetera, Mr Cetera!

As a man who owns a lot of Spectors, how do you rate the EMG-HZ pickup/SD preamp combo from the lower end Spectors compared to the "proper" EMGs + tonepump combo on the higher end models? Is there much in it?
