and one more.... Lastly a US Stuart Spector Design NS4 from the crossover period when Stuart was still trying to get his 'name' back....

Oh go on then.... Here's a pic from a couple of years back of my complete collection.... there have been some new additions which I haven't taken pics of yet. A couple of these have also moved on to fellow Basschat members... the natural Euro & the Zebrano Euro... To break them down a little.... These are original 80's US Spector NS2's... the black & white are Kramer made and sunburst is pre-Kramer. All have HazLab preamps... These are Euros & Euro LX's (aplogies for the over-exposure of the colours in this pic...) The blue, white & plum ones are original solid maple Euros. The white JJ pickup is a NS2J ltd reissue and the wood/zebrano ones are Euro LX's... My 'holflash' Spectors. The one on the left is a full custom order US Black/Blue Holoflash with amazing abalone inlays... a beauty! Holoflash doesn't show well in this pic though. The one on the right is a Rex-4 model in standard holoflash. My beautiful Poplar Burl Euro LX.... stunning! My Asian-made Kramer Spector NS2A basses from the late 80's...... great basses! This is my oldest Spector and one of the first ever made. Made in approx 1976/77 this is an original SB1 with Dimarzio pickup. Some Spectors I don't have anymore... First up is an original early Euro NS2J reissue Next up is my only foray into 5 string. A stunning Euro5 which I loved but as I'm 99% a 4string player just wasn't being used enough to justify me having it... A gorgeous Spector ReBop I sold a few weeks back to fund something else. I WILL get this back someday...

Not sure if anything about this has been posted before. Apologies if I'm late/out of touch. [url="http://www.guitarnation2010.com/"]Guitar Nation 2010[/url] Great seminars, clinics etc..... Guy Pratt, Pino Palladino, Steve Vai, Steve Lukather, Simon Phillips etc.....and the Saturday concert (judging by these names) could really be something! Shame about the ticket price though! Crikey!

I started playing having seen Gary Tibbs live with Adam & The Ants in 1981. My cousin then introduced me to KISS and they're firebreathing, blood spitting bassist Gene Simmons. That was me hooked..... From there I got into the melodic rock players of the 70's (80's was all synth & slap to me....) Peter Cetera (Chicago), Dee Murray (Elton John), Tiran Porter (Doobie Brothers), Joe Puerta (Ambrosia), Kenny Gradney (Little Feat) etc etc.... Outside of bass players and my family I'm not sure I've taken huge inspiration from anyone...

VERY nice!

I'm pretty much GAS-free (well I will be in a few weeks time when a VERY special bass arrives)..... BUT.... I'd still [i]like[/i] the following at some point: Spector Forte-X (New Spectorbird model) Hamer Impact (early 90's model - in black &/or white) Fender 'Geddy Lee' in Sunburst Fender 'Steve Harris' Precision Fender 'Aerodyne' Jazz (non-scratchplate version) Jackson 'Thunderbird' (early 90's model)

Hi Noel, Beautiful bass you have there! Unfortunately, due to the quality/availability/price-point of the 'Euro' series the US series seems to have taken a hammering s/h value-wise in recent years..... Is your bass [i]worth[/i] £3500..... definitely. Would you get more than £2000 - £2500 for it? Sadly it's unlikely in the current market.... Sorry....!

It's easy, look. Do-do-do-do. See? But when it gets to that bit in a gig... [/quote] I think I suffer in the same bit!

Sold my guitar rack to John. Lovely bloke, turned up on time and a pleasure to deal with. Cheers!
