after Kramker closed and Staurt started up SSD making a Spector bass again, he wasn't yet allowed to call it the NS2 name because Kramer still owned the trademark for several more years. So Stuart called the traditional PJ bass the NS4. Around very late 98 or early 99, he got all of his name rights and trademarks back.

I took the vintera II to rehearsal last night and played it on a couple of songs and it was a lot of fun and contrasted well with the JMJ mustang I'd been playing earlier. I took it as it came out of the box so will I need to make some adjustments. There's way too much relief in the neck, but as the adjuster is buried at the body end It's too much of a faff for now and I'll take care of that after changing the strings for LaBella flats when I'll do a full setup. I like how the wiggle stick stays in the position you leave it at rather than letting gravity flop it down when you let go (like it does on my Squier CV VI) however the plastic trem tip doesn't seem to want to stay on the wiggle stick. The tip end of the stick is threaded, but there doesn't seem to be a corresponding thread inside the tip for it to bite into, so I haven't been able to get it to stay attached. Any ideas?

Surely @neepheid would approve ?

So Fresh, So Clean - OutKast

I am awaiting a full report!

I'm not convinced it's wise for people to try to sell their own second hand gear on this thread - I'm really trying to be nice and not comment directly on their prices as given the topic of this thread it should be relatively clear that dirt cheap is what we are talking about (i.e. no more than £50 to £100 for cabs and probably £150 max for almost all the heads with the exception of the twin and quatro valves)!

Nice to hear, I’ll get up there soon 👍

Nice, I might give that a go, could have done without the extra pocket though, wonder be fitting it in the gigbag with that I fear.

been there , done that , my interpretation however is more like your other choice 😂

You'll have a happy friday: that was fantastic !

Here's mine, Jeremy Vine. A light and frothy tune with a Portuguese title that translates as Hate Everybody Immediately, ha, no, not really, it means Sleepy Village. I could imagine supping a cold beer in one of the beach huts and listening to this. Mind you, I could also sit in one of them listening to Wake Up by Rage Against the Machine, so what do I know? Ended up sounding like a Fisher-Price Johnny Marr on my Westfield Les Paul copy through an RP80 effects pedal, cursory bass came from the Vester P copy and MT Drums went bum-tet-bum-tet. Wavepad and Audacity, as ever, put it all together.

Great bass for that money. Go for it.

Who cares about businesses that made millions off the backs of artists and their fans by turning scalping into a web operation? Agents will do fine enough selling tickets. Resellers will do fine enough out of genuine reselling. All the excitement is for no longer being reamed when the only way to buy a 50 quid ticket is pay 150 quid.

Will check with Mission Control as to whether I'm allowed out or not...

Thankyou. I retired from the city late August and started part time at guitar tech as the bass tech. Quite a career change at 63! Joe the owner is passionate about running a shop that he wanted music shops to be like. It a rare thing. We try really hard to make it a place worth coming back to..
