Spector Best value for money, quality build, feel & sound I've come across as a complete package. Growls/grinds like a mutha and looks sexy as hell....

[quote name='7string' post='482340' date='May 7 2009, 07:32 PM']Now that's what I'm talking about [/quote] HUGE +1! That live on TV vid is great. They piss on most bands you hear/see these days...

[quote name='Telebass' post='480290' date='May 5 2009, 07:31 PM']Will be doing our first ticket-selling, contracted gig in mid-June, and see that the contract has in it that we must pay 3% or £27, whichever is the larger, for PRS fees. Is this a standard deduction at a ticketed venue? The 3% of gross receipts bit is what the venue must pay PRS, to be sure, just that I wasn't aware that the band or whatever had to pay it; I thought it was simply what the venue had to stump up. Any clarification most welcome! PS I am waiting for an email from PRS, on this; MU seem unsure. It may depend on how we were booked - in this instance, by direct contact. No agencies or any other third party. Cheers, Den[/quote] Den, what venue is this at?

Great to have them back.... Praying they'll tour the UK!

Traynor is on it's way out, soon to be replaced by an Ampeg V4.[/quote] I would LOVE to hear/play through that rig!

[quote name='Chelios' post='475485' date='Apr 29 2009, 09:14 PM']I am soon to be taking delivery of one of these lovely basses and was looking for some of the Spector owners to give me there opinion on the pick up's and wether i should change them. At the moment it has EMG-HZ's but i was thinking for changing it to a EMG-40DC at the bridge and a EMG-40P5 at the neck. Any opinions, anyone already changed theirs?[/quote] Wait and see once you have it in your hands. Many people are happy with the stock tone, which is very tight and defined. However, should you require a bit more oomph and overall 'tone' then a change to EMG-40s is a safe bet...

Tort..... Sorry!

[quote name='warwickhunt' post='472878' date='Apr 26 2009, 07:36 PM']I'll try and take a bit more notice next time. FWIW I know someone who was at the gig and they loved it but unfortunately venue attendance is really hitting an all time low at the minute![/quote] Cheers, good to know we have another satisfied customer Yep, the recession is biting attendance-wise for sure... See you next time mate!

Well that's a bunch of toss! ;o) Hope to catch you next time! I think we're playing on the tiny stage at Legends in Newcastle later in the year and we're back at South Shields on Halloween!

[quote name='BigAlonBass' post='469924' date='Apr 22 2009, 07:32 PM']You could always throw it in the back of the van, and hand it over to me at The Office gig on friday night. [/quote] Go on then.... it's yours

[quote name='bassicinstinct' post='469476' date='Apr 22 2009, 12:10 PM']Great little venue. I'm sure it'll go down a treat!! [/quote] Cheers chap! Hope we'll see you in Sutton-In-Ashfield in October? You must let me know when you're playing down south with the Dan Collective as well....!

Had a STORMING show in Glasgow last week! Such a HIGH! So....Bumping for our show at 'The Office' in South Shields this Friday night!

Bump...

[quote name='cgordonfreeman' post='463928' date='Apr 16 2009, 01:46 PM']Just took delivery of the shuttle max 12.0 yesterday. Haven't had a chance to try it out yet. First impressions are that it's incredibly light, all the switchgear feels solid and even though there's so many knobs etc on it, it's quite a clean and uncluttered. I would have tested it last night but i went into a shop yesterday to buy a couple of speakon cables and the 2 assistants were like 'what are speakon cables?' so I'll have to track some down today. Cheers, John[/quote] Looking forward to hearing your review of this amp in action!

I will never be as good as my gear.... but I have great fun trying! AND I try to play all of it at some point....

Hey James! Good luck with the show! I'm the friend of Guy & Iz that met you after your gig at the Comedy Bar. Can't make this one but all the best!

I've got an old bass case that's shaped in an offset Jazz-kinda styley.... doesn't actually fit a Jazz Bass though. Free to a good home for anyone who can collect. GONE!!
