    Hi, I have a fretted Crafter elecro/acoustic 5 stringer that plays very well. It has nice bright phosphor bronze strings on it, that are maybe a bit too bright for me. Are there any other options equivalent to flats/half rounds or nylon? Will nylon work with a fretted bass? I have only ever seen them on un-fretted basses so assumed they would wear out to quick? Also would they be too quiet? Any advice would be much appreciated.

    One of the nicest sunburst combinations I have seen. Enjoy!

    Does iyt matter as long as your enjoying yourself? I travelled in the other direction. I play guitar and picked up a bass to record stuff at home and love it!

    A suggested date would be good ASAP because I sometimes work weekends.

    I have recently sold a Spector that was BEAD tuned and played really well. I would suggest 35" scale, although having said that the Spector I had was 34.

    [quote name='xgsjx' timestamp='1350284880' post='1836665'] 30 years of playing bass with no band! That's one of the saddest things I've ever heard. Enjoy it. [/quote] Haahaa, nope not quite. 30 years ago I was playing lead guitar (badly), harmonica and Northumbrian pipes, but(not at the same time. I have been playing bass for about a year. In between I played no music only pinball

    Hi, I have other equipment to buy and and have an incoming fretless bass so am putting this up for sale. Manufactures in 2001 in Korea it is the for-unner to the Spector Pro Legend series. In fact it retailed for more than the Legend as it had a thru-neck design and brass nut. Awesome build quality. I believe I'm its 3rd owner and it has been gigged but you would never know it, other than some fret wear. It plays nice and sounds great. It looks great and my intention was to keep this but things change. Price £300 + Postage. If you need a hard case I have a nice one I can send it in for an additional £40 [attachment=121087:Spec.jpg] [attachment=121088:Spec bk.jpg] [attachment=121091:Spec5 Fr bod.jpg] [attachment=121086:Spec back bod.jpg] [attachment=121090:Spec PU.jpg] [attachment=121092:Spec head.jpg] [attachment=121089:Spec head back.jpg]

    Well, I had a good day out at the show. Not many basses but the ones that were there were nice. There was a stand with 15-20 Volume Eleven's. Very nice basses, pretty original, well made and a big "bang for the buck", starting around £550. Definitely worth checking out. Most were "J" types but they also had a nice original shape as well. 3 different pickup options to suit most tastes. There were also some awesome Polish OM??? basses that sounded great and some vandalised err I mean relic'd basses. Anyone into lead guitars would have had plenty to keep them occupied, hundreds of them of all shapes sizes etc. I won't even try and go into detail. The show seemed nice and lively but no big queues so it was still relatively easy to try out gear. I'd go again as it was a grand day out!

    Hi, just putting out some feelers. This 2001 Spector is a classy fore-runner to the Pro Legend series. Virtually black but with a bluish translucent slate gray finish. Made in Korea. I believe that I'm its 3rd owner since new. it is in great condition other than some fret wear and plays well. I would estimate the trade value at £350 or there abouts. Link here: [url="http://spectorbass.com/about/model_years_4P.html"]http://spectorbass.com/about/model_years_4P.html[/url] I;'m looking for a 4 or possibly 5 string fretless as I borrowed one recently and get on great with it. + or - cash. I'll put up pics at some point or email me for Pictures for now.

    For info I took the boring/cheap option and easy option ABM 115 cab. Although still bulky It passed the "carry test" and I can carry it with one hand and my good shoulder. That will tide me over until I'm famous and can buy the best kit! Thanks for the advice

    I had a Kramer lead guitar of similar age, build and construction. They had very good build standards for a budget bass so have a bump!
  23. Pinball
    Very nice, I have a black 5 string version and they are a serious bit of kit. Have a bump

    I looked at some markbass kit today and then looked at the price tag and that was it. I guess you get what you pay for but it's out of my league.
