Spector make excellent entry level basses... but regardless, does it feel good, play well & sound good to you? If so, that's all you need to make the decision I'd try to bring it down to £150 though if it is used and has some scuffs. Alternatively, if you're willing to save a little more I'd go for a Spector Legend bass, or for a little more again a Spector Re-Bop! Both excellent value for money basses....

Journey RULE!!! So many classic songs, such great musicians..... They're playing Dublin as well..... expect more UK dates to be announced very shortly,

Superb stuff..... particularly the vocals of Jeff Scott Soto!

Thanks guys....! Yep, the white Spector really is something to behold. There's just something about the colour, clean lines, ergonomic shape etc.... The 'P' is a revelation....I'll be putting flats on it too. I'm sorting a black Jap 70s P RI anyday now....which will get a Wizard Thumper and some roundwounds on it... The Peavey is a kinda grey/silverburst with a hint of sparkle...... looks even better close up... and the sound is superb!

Just thought I'd post a 'porn' update. These are my three latest purchases..... From left to right: 1) 2007 Spector Euro NS2CRFM (not LX) in 'custom' gloss white. This is my first 'endorsement bass' and it's a cracker... looks stunning, plays like buttah and growls like a growly thing! Another Spector is now on order... 2) s/h Fender Precision Jap 62RI. This bass is approx 10 years old but almost mint and the vintage white is just starting to yellow nicely.... Never particularly wanted a Precision before (except Phil Lynotts), but this one just spoke to me as soon as I picked it up. It feels like part of me and has a lovely round tone.... 3) Early 90's Peavey RJ-IV 'Randy Jackson' signature bass. I got this active beauty for under £200 and it really is quite superb! A full, bright tone with a lot of oomph, a hipshot de-tuner as standard and a very fast thru-neck. I love it!

I believe it was 5% ?[/quote] Hmmmm....It's been edited, but the original post said he was offering 10% off until end of March.....

[quote name='Chopthebass' post='143534' date='Feb 20 2008, 09:13 AM']The Jap Fender have just come down in price. I've just done a cracking deal for two at the guitar emporium. The price worked out the same as importing direct from Itchyscratchi.[/quote] Oooo! What have you ordered?

That's LUSH! It is indeed a Tonepump. Enjoy!!

[quote name='99ster' post='142556' date='Feb 18 2008, 04:34 PM']I had to Google for Guy Berryman as I had no clue who he was... sure he's competent enough in the limited role he has in Coldplay - but to put him in a list of greats along with JPJ, McCartney & Entwistle as though he was their equal is comical at best.[/quote] lol! +1,000,000

[quote name='Smash' post='142585' date='Feb 18 2008, 05:08 PM']cetera - I would snap your hand off at that price but I know the weight of that baby its got some great sound have played through one before and I am very shocked it hasn't sold.[/quote] It's OK, with the wheels it doesn't seem that heavy Thanks for the kind words, it does sound amazing & it's crazy noone has taken it off me yet....

This is what you want. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=7130&hl=mesa+bass"]Mesa/Boogie 1516 EV cab[/url] Any questions, just PM me

[quote name='nash' post='142477' date='Feb 18 2008, 02:29 PM']i think with some black hardware, a painted headstock and some black blocks and binding it would be a looker[/quote] +1

[quote name='The Burpster' post='141612' date='Feb 16 2008, 04:11 PM']If you PM cetera, its probably the only one he hasnt got ...... he will probably be able to tell you which employee made it..... He does like his Spectors! [/quote] It's OK! Don't panic Mr Mainwaring I'm here!! Yep, you've got yourself a lovely Spector Euro (also known as an NS2CR/FM). It's likely got the Spector Tonepump preamp in it which is ALL boost (i.e. flat is in the zero position) but if it's been in their stock for a while it could possibly have a lovely Aguilar preamp in it.... The tonepump is quite a beast and takes some taming but gives an amazing array of sounds I can't tell you [i]exactly[/i] which employee made it.... but it would have been overseen by 'Petr' Enjoy!

VERY nice! Especially with the bridge cover... Aren't the 'Thumpers' more mid-rangey/brighter than normal P pickups? I thought for a more trad soul sound/flats you'd want the Wizard 'Trad' pickups?

Wow! Lovely purchase! Never used their heads but I swear by their old EV loaded Diesel cabs.....

[quote name='joegarcia' post='138584' date='Feb 11 2008, 11:54 PM']Hehe, yup. Glad someone on here knows who my avatar is of. [/quote] That character always kinda reminds me of Tom Johnston of The Doobie Brothers! Google him for a picture...
