That's very interesting to know. I've recently got myself a CST with an ebony board. I've had very little chance to play it yet for one reason or another, but enough to know that I definitely want another Spector, just with a significantly different sound to the CST. The big question is whether I get another Euro, albeit a slightly different one, or USA-made bass. It's a long time since had my hands on a USA Spector but I remember them as being pretty amazing but financially out of my reach at the time. Thirty odd-years later now I can afford one but then again nowadays there's the Euro option with the new Legacy preamp ect. There's a decision to be made factoring in diminishing returns and whether a Euro is a "proper" Spector. What I can say is that my new CST is a meticulously-made bass and very good value for money in the current new bass market considering it costs substantially less than something like a new Stingray Special or a German-made Sadowsky Metroline ect..

Here's me (and the lovely Di) when I paid the swag over this morning! Thanks to everyone!

It was an Ampeg (V4 I think) cab, very similar to this, that cemented my 2x15 love. I bet it'll sound wonderful.

This is from last year. The trio's percussionist, Mischa happens to be a wonderful electric bass player also. I loved this project as there was so much sensitivity in our approach to each other.

Hi......

Closest I got were the two Dingwall's I bought. An NG3 and a D-Roc. Loved the look of them and the neck/feel was lovely....... but as Chris Childs said at the SE BassBash, they had one great sound and 4 'meh' ones.... Sold/traded them within a couple of months of getting them....

Basschat massive. My late boss and bandmate's widow is thinking about letting his custom made jackson go. It has laid unplayed for 10 years now. It had done literally thousands of gigs . At least 50 per year for 24 years It has a custom graphic, a Star Wars theme. There is only one other of this graphic which was the original custom build Jackson did but they made it right handed and he was a left. I tracked the right handed one down on here 10 years ago. This l/h one is a bit tatty Should I tell her to get it restored a bit. Laquer is peeling in places Here's a few pictures It has a rewound p pickup by Aaron Armstrong and Kahler bass trem

This? Tis lovely!

Those of you complaining about what Facebook shows you must either have the wrong friends or be following the wrong groups. All I see is posts from my friends and those groups I have chosen to follow. Any "friend" who consistently posts crap I'm not interested in gets unfollowed, likewise with any groups. I get the very occasional suggested or sponsored post which I always mark is irrelevant. Having said that Facebook is not installed on my phone or any other mobile devices. I signed up to it using a one-time email address and it runs sandboxed in its own browser on my desktop computer which is used just for Facebook. I only have that browser open while I am looking at Facebook and quit as soon as I am done. While I am looking at Facebook I don't use anything else to access the internet. Anything that pops up in my feed that looks interesting is noted down and checked out in a different browser after quiting Facebook.

You must be doing something right Rob. Always appreciated. Dave

I've noticed it before that you have a nice funky wrist action on the pick hand on some of your songs that i've never really heard used before Daryl. Think the nearest i've heard to it was Bobby Vega. Very nice light touch too. Dave

James Oesi's Trio album. It's bass heaven.
