Loving the white/maple one....

Lovely basses.....! Always liked that 'green' on Spectors..... hmmmm....

[quote name='gilmour' post='181585' date='Apr 21 2008, 10:02 AM']I quite like the fat Warwick necks, but... Have you thought about a Spector - similar style to the Warwicks, but very different necks. I'm sure I read somewhere that Warwick pinched the streamer design off of Spector, but I may have made that up.[/quote] True, if you liked the Warwick but not the neck then you need to check a Spector Euro/LX Warwick didn't pinch the design, they licensed it for a short time from Stuart Spector/Ned Steinberger then just stopped paying.....! I believe a settlement was reached some years ago for their illegal use of the design...

Lovely Jazz & Ray

[quote name='OutToPlayJazz' post='176371' date='Apr 14 2008, 04:07 PM']I've played Spectors & have liked them, but they're a bit of a leaden tool, rather like a Precision. The TRB will do almost everything, and the Spector is mainly a rock bass with it's aforementioned punch.[/quote] Tell that to Doug Wimbish, Reinie Press (Neil Diamond), Chuck Rainey, Leigh Foxx (Blondie), Dean Jarvis (Nelly Furtado), Graham Maby (Natalie Merchant/Joe Jackson etc), Aaron Mills (Outkast) etc etc etc etc..... The Yamaha is a great bass.... very solid and workmanlike with a great tonal range, but like Homer says.... the Euros are phenomenal basses, great value for money and have amazing build quality/components...

Up until a couple of years ago I owned a 1969 Gibson Les Paul Custom 3pu which was owned & played live by Ace Frehley of KISS between 1979 & 1980. It had a slightly burnt pickup surround (swapped off one of his smoking guitars) and had been customised by him with pearloid tuners, DiMarzio Super Distortion pu's etc.... It was also signed, in a signed original Gibson case and came with a signed pic of him at the point of sale.... Twas a lovely piece of classic rock n roll memorabilia but I got a cash offer I couldn't refuse....

Wow... that white Jazz is THE NUTS!! Congrats I've been wanting that exact bass for a while.... that's definitely next on the GAS list!

[quote name='crez5150' post='171384' date='Apr 7 2008, 01:13 PM']I guess it's the Marmite factor..... you love them or hate them.... I'm the same with U2 and Oasis[/quote] Aye, I don't mind the odd bit of U2 but Oasis are IMHO quite dreadful....

I guess you can predict my answer...... but I'd probably swap out the preamp....

Nice guitar playing, dull song, dreadful singer..... sorry, I just DON'T get it....

Immense!

[quote name='chris_b' post='169116' date='Apr 3 2008, 02:02 PM']I've got an Ampeg SVT-3 PRO and it's been great for the last 9 years, but I think you need to choose the cabs very carefully. It works really well with Mesa Boogie cabs[/quote] Amen to that..... my SVT-3 Pro sounds immense with my Mesa 2x15EV! Highly underestimated amp..... but be aware that some of the knobs work in the reverse way to you would expect!
