Would it be OK to play a Rod Temperton song, that Michael Jackson did? Where is the line drawn?

Splendid! Looks fab.... glad to have been of assistance 👍

Bought a couple of preamps from Stevie. Parcel arrived safely..... and good, honest comms. Recommended.

Yep, there's a bit of neck dive but a good grippy strap takes care of the worst of it. Usual issue with an Tbird shape.

Polar Audio have been so rubbish that Gallien Krueger are now opting to deal direct now with some main dealers instead. Obviously this takes time to set up and there are delays with manufacture as a hangover from Covid and electronic part shortages. Andertons will be your best bet as and when. Also worth mentioning that many people think of GK as being a massive company but in reality they are still a family business.

This was custom built for Kip at the Euro factory (NOT US custom shop) as a STRICTLY one-off, organised by Stuart Spector before he sold the brand to Korg. This won't be produced for public sale. Sorry...

Saw them at The Cavern in Raynes Park, SW London. Nice guy and great player. A couple of the guys in the band are also in Simply Dan (Steely Dan tribute).

Once he realises, like the rest of us do, that he can't play fretless..... he'll have fun trying to find a buyer for that anchor! 🤣

This, to my ears, is utter perfection. The band and song to which all other melodic rock bands can only attempt to measure themselves. 😎 That voice - Steve Perry at his soulful finest.... Those backing vocal harmonies... That melody... Randy 'Dawg' Jackson on bass, complete with crazy hairstyle and fashion sense! The soul, passion and intensity... Turn it up loud and let the goosebumps envelope you.... 🥰 You're welcome

Two DC's is a bit hi-fi/clinical. You could try the EMG P pickup in a soapbar (35P4 or 35P4X) in the neck position and keep the DC in the bridge or swap that out for a 35J, 35JX, 35JCS or 35JX-CS . https://www.emgpickups.com/bass.html

Buy the other one and sell the 1st one, albeit at a slight loss...

Reminds me of the time I played with the KISS tribute at a biker rally the day after Dumpy's Rusty Nuts had played (& stayed over). Our dressing room was the old caravan that Dumpy had stayed in overnight.... man that thing STUNK.... sweat, leather, alcohol and the WORST tramp smell you've ever encountered.... How we didn't catch anything is beyond me! 🤣

I believe you need the Euro 5LX-TW version which has splitable coils. One like this: https://www.dv247.com/en_GB/GBP/Spector-Euro-5-LX-TW-Black-Cherry/art-BAS0003484-000 See either the TW or TWX pickups here: https://www.emg-pickupsonline.co.uk/category/bass/soap-bars/5-string-soap-bars/

I plead guilty as charged, m'lud....

I saw Belinda Carlisle & The Christians earlier this week at G-Live in Guildford. Great to see my old mate @Bobby Kon bass with The Christians! He played up a storm, including duplicating some classic Pino fretless on his MusicMan 😎 Met Belinda's bassist Andy Carr afterwards too..... great guy and player who also performs with ABC and Go West 🎸

Updated tonewoods and colours.

I'm not 100% sold on either tbh. And I'd have to put crown inlay stickers on it otherwise it looks like a W*****k copy 🤣

The tobaccoburst we got made looks nicer than this new run. But the Pulse II is an awesome bass.... I'd venture to even say it's the best value for money Spector out there...
