[quote name='Mr Cougar' post='313869' date='Oct 24 2008, 03:08 PM']You know what gets on my tits about Spectors (well the Euro LX ones) on the natural finish headstocks the serial is just printed on with really crappy ink, you can't even tell the second letter is supposed to be a B on mine and I've seen it on loads of others too.[/quote] If ever there was a reason NOT to buy one eh?

Not easy to play.... but GREAT FUN to play.... "Christmas Wrapping" by the Waitresses

I believe you can specify you want 'black hardware' if you order your choice of Euro from your local Spector retailer....

Today my top three are... 1) Peter Cetera (Chicago) 2) Tiran Porter (Doobie Brothers) 3) Dee Murray (Elton John) On any other day they may include: Geddy Lee (Rush) Phil Lynott (Thin Lizzy) John Deacon (Queen) James Jamerson (Motown) Rutger Gunnarsson (Abba) Joe Puerta (Ambrosia) Jason Scheff (Chicago post 1986) Kip Winger (Winger) Gene Simmons (KISS) Ross Valory (Journey) Dave Hope (Kansas) Chuck Panozzzo (Styx) Chuck Rainey (sessions) Guy Pratt (sessions.... and particularly 'Toy Matinee') etc

MIJ/CIJ all the way.... Never played one I didn't like and for build quality / value for money VERY hard to beat....

Always have done, always will do.[/quote] Why don't you choose to ignore it then? You don't [i]have[/i] to answer.... In response to the OP.... I'm interested in what Taka plays as his basses look very unique...

[quote name='Josh' post='312363' date='Oct 22 2008, 06:35 PM']Cetera I bet with all your Spectors you probally have a whole trilogy worth of stories to tell...[/quote] Trilogy of stories?!? I'm sure there are many more than that!!

Great idea! Nice rig choice btw....

[quote name='steantval' post='308853' date='Oct 17 2008, 06:59 PM']Journey are just awesome, quality players all round. I had the pleasure of seeing them live in June this year and was blown away by their performance. The new vocalist Arnett is every bit a match to Steve Perry's vocals. This band make the current crop i.e. Kaiser Chiefs, Artic Monkeys etc look very amateurish in their live performances and musical ability. The reason why a lot of the big live acts from way back (Toto, Foreigner, Tod Rundgren, Uriah Heep) are touring again is because people are becoming sick of the same old dross being played by the current crop of over hyped bands, and want to see seasoned musicians/vocalists who can actually play live. I'm not just into Rock, I'm also well into Soul,Funk, Jazz, Blues etc.[/quote] +1,000,000 to ALL of that....

There's NOWT wrong with classic era Journey.... great songs and supreme musicianship. You won't find a better, more soulful rock singer than Steve Perry, the guitarist Neal Schon is one of the all-time greats and there's not a drummer in the land that knows his chops who doesn't revere Steve Smith.... Through the years Ross mainly played a P-bass with J neck... then an Ovation Magnum...followed by a Steinberger and then a Greg Curbow custom. More recently he has taken to playing a Stingray.... The great thing about Ross tone-wise was that he found his niche within the EQ spectrum of the band. He never got lost in the bass drum, the keys or the guitar tone... This track was likely played on the Ovation Magnum, with a favoured rear pickup and a touch of chorus. EQ set to boost on the mids....

[quote name='Shaggy' post='305349' date='Oct 13 2008, 11:46 AM']Of the T’bird type basses out there around that price, definitely my choice would be the Spector Rex (/Rex Brown) – especially in the “holoflash” finish like the pic. There was a 2nd hand 5-string recently in a local music shop for £350, sweet player and sounded v "rock" but with a modern “hi-fi” edge to it too.[/quote] +1.... I LOVE mine

[quote name='Clarky' post='305481' date='Oct 13 2008, 01:44 PM']Bet there's a Forumite somewhere interested in this (comes highly recommended by Cetera, me and others) [url="http://www.electromusic.co.uk/product.php?productid=18673&cat=820&page=1"]http://www.electromusic.co.uk/product.php?...=820&page=1[/url][/quote] BLIMEY!!! That's a STEAL!! Basically you get a SansAmp Bass Driver AND a SansAmp RPM preamp AND 300 watts for just double the price of a little BDDI box.... Highly recommended....!

Dirty DC and Livewire are prob the best DC tribs in the UK at the moment.... Other recommended tributes include: Limehouse Lizzy Are You Experienced and of course...... the fabulous KISS tribute 'Dressed To Kill' who are not simply the 'best in the country'.... they are the "World's Longest Running KISS Tribute", "Europe's #1 KISS Tribute" and "the [i]personal[/i] choice of Gene Simmons" ....but then I would say that
