Thanks Ash, twas a pleasure

[quote name='Paul S' post='701804' date='Jan 5 2010, 04:17 PM']Thanks all. I think what I will do is buy it, play it for a bit, then decide which I prefer - the p-bass or the Scavenger. If it is the Scavenger that goes, Cetera, I'll let you know.[/quote] Sounds fair enough. Cheers mate.... keep me updated (on PM may be better).

[quote name='wombatboter' post='701575' date='Jan 5 2010, 01:42 PM'][/quote] Wow.... you really remind me of this classic 'Gerry Anderson' character! [url="http://www.bbc.co.uk/cult/anderson/thunderbirds/gallery/images/340/hood.jpg"]Hood[/url] No offence meant!

Just met with Ash to hand over my prized Spector. Lovely bloke, came through on his commitment to buy and met me at the earliest opportunity. A thoroughly pleasant transaction and Ash comes highly recommended as someone to deal with.

Good basses but slightly limited. You may be better with the P to be honest. As an aside, if you don't get the Scavenger let me know as I know a definite buyer....

[quote name='Raggy' post='701368' date='Jan 5 2010, 10:59 AM']There is nothing hi-fi about my Genz ShuttleMax6, lovely warm growl with my P Bass. Get 10 bass players playing through one amp and I think you will get 10 different sounds.[/quote] Have to agree.... when I heard the lovely warm growl my friend got from his Shuttle 6 I was blown away...

Yep, Jerry Scheff. His son Jason Scheff (currently with Chicago) is no slouch either!

[quote name='Sean' post='699896' date='Jan 3 2010, 07:57 PM']What did anyone make of the Forte stuff?[/quote] I'll be after a Forte Thunderbird-shape Spector when they hit the stores!

[quote name='Rowbee' post='694061' date='Dec 27 2009, 12:29 AM']Any kind of Warwick Streamer - I just love the body shape.[/quote] That'll be the classic 'Spector' shape then For me... it's a white Spector NS-2 all the way!!

[quote name='Thor' post='697492' date='Dec 31 2009, 07:19 PM']I do love the sound of Bruce Foxton's/Geddy Lee's playing, but of course they quite often played a Jazz (Geddy is the god of the Jazz IMHO), and that's the sound I strive for so I do think I'm Fender through & through.[/quote] It may be worth thinking about getting a Sansamp VTBass pedal as well as a Jazz in order to nail that tone....

I love my Sonic Maximiser but I find it works best when there's lots of other things in the chain. It puts back a lot of the tone that rack gear etc sucks out....

[quote name='Bassassin' post='699211' date='Jan 3 2010, 12:27 AM']I think this is an Italian-made Melody copy (M logo on the headstock) - someone on here had one a year or so ago, I expect a bit of searching might turn up some info. Never seen a Melody in real life, but I had a no-brand Japanese one a while back - it was a ringer for the real deal & I probably should've kept it. Jon.[/quote] Yep, it looks exactly like my one I sold..... I'm sure it was to someone in the Sunderland area too. Nice 'basic' bass but the sliding pickup was a bit noisy/microphonic.

[quote name='bassplace' post='699085' date='Jan 2 2010, 08:59 PM']Actually bought the Wal for $150US then paid about $500 for repairs.[/quote] US$150?!?!!!!! Wow!!

[quote name='GremlinAndy' post='698528' date='Jan 2 2010, 03:32 AM']Hi buddy I used the thumb bass. and the rig was erm. **LOUD** and tight. But do you know what, I haven't managed to get the growl I got at your house on that Thunderfunk through the 8x10. I can't understand it... I even bought the black streamer that I was playing that day. Sell me your Thunderfunk buddy! I need to find out if that's the missing element.[/quote] Andy, I trust your tone has plenty of honking mids and a touch of chorus?!?! Essential for Ross Valory sounds....

Check out my Spector ReBop in the 'Basses for Sale' forum. £1000 bass for £550 Link: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=71910"]Spector ReBop[/url] Only a little more than you wanted to spend and worth EVERY penny

[quote name='Machines' post='698283' date='Jan 1 2010, 07:24 PM']I'm sure it'll be fantastic quality, but what the world does not need is more Jazz copies. It's a saturated market and no-one has to scratch around finding a high quality Jazz bass. I'd be more interested to see them coming out with something SOUNDING like a Jazz but with a less carbon copy design.[/quote] +1,000,000

I've put a couple of LUSH Spectors up for sale on here now (see the Basses For Sale forum) ! ;o)

[quote name='steantval' post='696357' date='Dec 30 2009, 02:35 PM']The band name is not to original though. Check out these guys? [url="http://www.myspace.com/departureband"]Visit My Website[/url][/quote] Yeah, but they're in the US and never likely to tour here.... There are at least two other KISS tributes with the same name as my band in the States as well....

Mmmmmmm..... two of my fave things..... a Wal..... and in 'white'!
