Reluctantly letting go of my beautiful Spector RST Euro bass. I never thought I’d part with this, but after months of reflection, I’ve realised I reach more often for the jazz-width neck of my Sandberg Superlight, but other than the neck, I prefer everything about the Spector! This lovely Spector RST Euro in Sienna Stain Matte was my first step into the world of ultralight basses, weighing in at only 6.5lbs. If you’ve ever struggled with back or shoulder issues, you’ll know how much of a game-changer that is and despite its featherweight build, it’s packed with quality: Aguilar pickups paired with the OB2 preamp deliver a vast palette of tones. I tried a Sadowsky pre for the passive options, but quickly returned to the OB2 – it just sings. Plays like a dream, with effortless versatility for live or studio work. The first basses I've ever had to raise the action, as it was so buzz-free low. Visually, it really is a stunner – a roasted neck, lightweight Gotoh tuners, a brass nut, MoP inlays, sleek lines, and a premium finish that oozes quality craftsmanship. Like all lighter woods, it’s picked up a few honest gigging dings, but nothing that affects playability or vibe. Bought from BassBro about a year ago for around £1,800, and it's worth every penny. Comes with the official Spector gig bag. Full Spector specifications here: https://www.spectorbass.com/product/euro-4-rst/ In reflection of the used market and the few dings, I'll sell for £1,300 – an absolute bargain for this calibre of instrument, and if it doesn't sell, I won't be too upset! I'm in Plymouth - Devon, and around the Bristol area last weekend of Nov. Happy to discuss courier options if needed, not really interested in trades other than a Markbass M58R 12" @ 8 ohm cab, or the same type M58R cab 2x10" but @ 4 ohm, plus cash my way. ....having just checked back for typos, I may change my mind about this sale 😂-

The Accidental Birth: How The Fender Antigua Was Born

It looks weirdly good under odd Stage lights , taken this weekend 😛 -
Pickup coil width is a fascination to me! (I know, I know: get a life!). I'd like a shortie stingray, but with a pickup that is smaller so all the relative dimensions are the same. I'd love to find out if I can hear a difference. With the usual pickup on a shortie the pickup is sensing a higher percentage of the string than on a 34 scale. Aguilar and Nordy do thin Bart sized soapbars with separate lines of polepieces, although they are doubles and not the 1 large pole as on a 'ray pickup. Maybe one day I'll get someone to make one... and then discover I can't hear the difference and I've wasted £500 on a custom pickup!

Damn this sounds good with my maple/rounds P; I may just try to find a way to keep it. -

Cheers. Rare indeed; in fact it took me a couple of years constant searching to find that version of the cab loaded with a Fane 15 driver to match with my Series 6 1215 combo. -
Mine is passive too, and with the much heavier ash body. I do feel the pickup in mine sounds fairly modern and powerful. In fact, the previous owner sold the bass for sounding too modern. He tried a different pickup in it (Fender Custom Shop '62 P reissue) but that didn't give him the desired results either. The ash body is very dense and incredibly heavy, even when compared to some of my longscale basses with fullsize bodies. When I bought the bass there was a set of flatwounds on it that I didn't like at all - they were very boomy, and very unbalanced (the E was overly loud and thuddy even after adjusting pickup height, the rest was more or less OK). I played it with Ernie Ball shortscale Slinkies for a while, and currently have LaBella 043-104 on it which are perfect. I think the E and A sounding bigger than the D and G might be due to it being a shortscale: since the pickup is the same size as on a longscale bass, the treble coil is closer to the bridge relative to the scale length than it would be on a longscale. With the LaBella's it's not an issue for me.

It could be that he's playing so hard, he's snapped the neck of his guitar (and of course his wrist from his arm and managed to add an extra finger, but as he's a guitarist he might need it). It could also be that he has a very, very long forearm that's managed to bend backwards and hide behind his knee and shin. Also clever the way the mike is balanced in thin air, can I have one of those? Of course I am being exceptionally charitable to AI Slop. Rob

Hi, I haven't had these for long (I used to own both these pedals many years ago, but bought them for the second time recently), but a recent change in musical direction has now made these obsolete. I have about 700€ invested in these and I' m looking to get back 650€ for them which seems reasonable considering the ridiculous prices the seperate pedals go for these days. I'm selling to fund some new hardware and onboard pre-amp for my main axe, so I'm not interested in trades this time, sorry.. Shipping from Belgium. Sales pitch: Up for sale is this magnificant duo of rare pedals made by Spencer at 3 Leaf Audio. The Proton is his take on the Mutron III filter and it doesn't get much funkier than this! The Doom is a unique sounding fuzz that is extremely dynamic and can get supersynthy. When combined these pedals offer a wide variety of funky and synthy sounding tones that are used by lany great artist that are looking to get someyhing "extra" out of their pedalboard (think of Stuart Zenders work with Jamiroquai, Tim Lefebre, Janek Gwizdala,...) Due to the very limited production these are very hard to come by and they keep going up in value, so finding a set like these two is quite a rare opportunity. Both pedals come with the original packaging and can be shipped worldwide. Kind regards, Don - Today

Up for sale are my Aguilar DB112 cabs in Boss Tweed. Probably the nicest cabs I've ever owned! They've have been used but well looked after, a couple of small scuffs here and there. Come with hot covers which are a little bit worn but still plenty of life left in them. Only selling as I don't realistically need them anymore and they sound too good to be sat doing nothing. Looking for £350 per cab. Collection only from Stone (Staffordshire). -

It looks like that driver comes with its own gasket already fitted. So, you won't need any foam. I wish other driver manufacturers would do this.
-
I seem to have made things more complicated than necessary by mentioning using foam gasket to seal the back panel. Please ignore, and glue the back panel in. I'd still suggest using screws to ensure that the panel is firmly glued to the battens. If you drive the screws below the surface, you can fill the holes with wood filler and sand.

Its not bass related but in the 90's, when at University, my Dad was an avid car boot sale visiter. I was doing a project on why VHS prevailed and Betamax failed, so I asked him to see if he could find me an old Betamax machine that I could use to demonstrate the differences in design. He duly came back with a machine with a box full of free tapes, all with well known movie labels on them. I was pleased to find the machine worked, so set about testing it with the box of tapes. They were all p**n films.... I had to re-record over them before I could use them for my Uni demo. One of the tapes was marked "Jimi Hendrix Live". After I told that story at a job I later worked at, it became a running joke that if anyone was sharing mucky videos around. the question would be "Is Jimi Hendrix on tour at the moment?" -
