[quote name='chuck_stones' post='1213598' date='Apr 28 2011, 10:21 AM']Here are some pics of the bass Sorry about the dodgy photography, but I'm sure you'd agree she's a real beauty! [/quote] Thats absolutely stunning mate, my spector is a 2001 so has the all maple body too,they also have the full brass bridge too (i believe, the wonderful cetera will be able to confirm this) very crisp cutting sound but loads of bottom too, i'd love a 4 string to go with it, you/ll probably find yours is closer to doug whimbish's spector than the current euro lx version, i believe yours will be known as a NSCR4 FM. Give me a shout if you move it on

AAAWW i really love this thread, its a shame ive nothing pointy to post, but i am gassing for an old kramer forum2 or a jackson kip winger and ive always had a soft spot for BC RICH mockingbirds, thanks for the great pics guys

I used the rotobass cheapy ones when i started playing and i liked them, mind you i ended up breaking the G string every other week and had to buy a new set, D'addarios are the best strings for the money especially if you buy the double sets works out very cheap indeed, they sound fantastic when you first put them on but die very quickly and sound awful!! i used them for many years while i was a pro player but then i'd change tem religously every month (silly lad)

IGIG bags are fantastic and worth every penny, im sure mark can ship one to italy for you

Ive always loved the idea of three jazz pickups, i remember as a kid in the late 80's seeing an advert for a squire HM jazz bass which had three jazz pickups and a 5 way strat style selector i thought it was really cool. if the big al pickups were available on a sterling body i'd be drooling OH!! and of course the fender urge with a J/P/J setup now i'd love to try one of those, sadly discontinued!!

Thanks for that mate,they might be worth a try i do manage to get mr DR high beam B into the slot of my 2001 CR5FM but it is a squeeze.

If Spector,EBS. and DR strings would endorse me i'd be very happy to use them oh and possibly Ginsters pasties and banrock station

i must admit BASS#1 for me and i played a streamer lx for along time, #2 had a lot more bite, but i preferred 1 just goes to show it's all in the hands

Hi everyone just to mention i will be playing with my rock band "blind panic" and 4 other local rock bands at joshua brooks in manchester sunday march 27th, in aid of BEAT a charity helping the victims of eating disorders, there will be various kinds of rock to suit everybody. It would be fantastic to meet any basschatters there and have a beer and support this fine cause. cheers - Lee
