  1. Nice bass josh i,d be tempted if a wasnt skint, just sold my fretless to pay bills spectors are the dogs and josh is a great guy to deal with, im still loving the ken smith!!!! all the best mate - lee ps - love the streamer too!!!! As of late, this bass has been seeing less and less use as it's a back up to my Streamer, nonetheless this is a great bass and as such I think someone else will benefit from owning it. First things first, the only issue with this bass is it's aesthetic condition. I bought this recently from Jon Kemo in the condition it's in, and it was in the same condition when he bought it from it's original owner who has obviously thrown this bass around a fair bit. There are quite a few surface scratches and noticeable dings on both the front and back and the side of the bass, a minor scrape in the neck, but none of them at all affect the playability of this bass, IMO they give the bass character. The electronics and hardware are all still up to scratch and work perfectly. I've tried my best to highlight these dings and scratches, in the flesh they are noticeable but they are not severe enough to draw any attention to them: Despite all of that, I've really enjoyed having this bass around, it is stupidly light for a bass, and has been used on my bands recent recording(The Gutter Never Looked So good) which can be heard [url="http://www.myspace.com/allureingrace"]here!.[/url] Here are the specs directly from the Spector site: • Original Spector NS curved body style • Original Spector deep inset bolt-on neck pocket design • Neck: Bolt-On Graphite Rod Reinforced 3pc Maple • Fingerboard: 24 Fret, Rosewood, mother of pearl Spector inlays • Scale Length: 34" • Body: Alder, with FM top. • Black Hardware: Spector Aluminum Locking Bridge • Pickups: EMG 35HZ passive dual coil pickups • Active Tone Controls: Spector TonePump™ boost only active bass and treble.

  2. Hi there I know your sterling very well as it used to be mine (i called it rita after rita heyworth, gorgeous redhead i still greatly miss it) it had d,addarios on when i traded it, but when i first got i used DR sunbeams(45-105) which i use on my jazz and they sounded fantastic, works very well with the maple fingerboard, i also use fatbeams on my ken smith which i think are great too, they have the punch of steels but with a warm tone( suit actives very well) my faves arethe sunbeams though, highly recommended!! cheers and congrats on a great bass, give me a shout if you evermove it on - all the best lee I used to use Ernie Ball Super Slinky on my MM SR5. I was happy with those but have only used DR on the Lakland for the last 6-7 years. I think DR are worth the extra money. [/quote]
  3. [quote name='Doddy' post='727758' date='Jan 28 2010, 04:18 PM']No surprises here with my answer............ iGig The G525 model has a front pocket designed to fit a small head in.[/quote] +1 Iove mine. dont carry my head in it though its too big, but i get all my pedals, leads, strings,straps,pencils etc in there and dont take another bag, makes it bloody heavy though, it is expensive but very well padded which i need when carrying a ken smith in it. I did look at the gig skinz ones which look pretty good, very big pockets and about £80 from bass direct- lee
  4. Just sold john, my MIA Fender fretless jazz, nice lad, came to pick it up and paid on delivery, thanks mate - lee

  9. [quote name='spaz91' post='708335' date='Jan 10 2010, 11:03 PM']DO WANT. I don't have a MM but I do have a Fender Jazz V (mex) and an Ibanez ATK300 for p/x.[/quote] Cheers mate, not really what im looking for, but thanks anyway
  10. Hi Everyone Welcome to the new year!!!!! as a result of too much spending and various things popping up demanding that i throw coloured notes at them, i am putting up for sale my fairly recently aquired USA fretless fender jazz, i did buy this very much on impulse from the very excellent "essential tension" about 6 months ago and i must admit ive barely used it, and try as i might i think that fretless isnt my thing. It has a gorgeous three tone sunburst alder body and a very nice lined fingerboard (with no string scarring at all, it had flats on it for a long time) it has through stringing and a graphite reinforced maple neck (c shape with a small hint of flame), the build quality on this is fantastic a very solid workhorse, has a very warm sound even with roundwounds and sings lovely. its actually in fantastic condition apart from two scratches on the to[p horn which are only noticable close up Unfortunately i dont have a hardcase for this anymore, but it will ship very well packed in a warwick premium gigbag, id be looking for £525 (incl delivery) or £500 if you want to pick it up from bolton (near manchester) Thanks guys and gals - lee Ps - i did originally intend to trade this, if you have a fender marcus miller, or a musicman stingray and fancy a trade, let me know and ill have a wrestle with my head and heart [attachment=39904:P1010003.JPG][attachment=39905:P1050006.JPG][attachment=39906:P1050009.JPG][attach ment=39907:P1050005.JPG][attachment=39908:P1010002.JPG] ITS SOLD, THANKS FOR LOOKING!!!!!!

  14. Hi there Never owned the TRB series myself, but i did have a nathan east model for a while, which had the same electronics as the TRB1(and probably the same as your BB ) the circuit in that had a preset mid control offering two diffrent settings that were fully adjusable from trimpots in the control cavity, it was my first active bass at the time so didnt really use the feature properly, i remember thinking at the time it looked better than it sounded (a lovely aqua quilt ) but was probably pilot error on my part, as far as i know the TRB2 had a standard mid cut and boost, but i think you could still change the frequency ,also that is when they went to 35" scale, if im wrong im sure someone will let me know hope this helps the original ones were amazing basses, and ive heard many players get amazing sounds out of them - all the best - lee PS - the neck through ones were known as TRBP as they have a piezo as well as the magnetic pickups!!
  15. Thats a beauty reminds me of my old sterling, but a bit darker burst, and mine had a maple board, really wish i hadnt traded it good luck with the sale - lee

  20. [quote name='cocco' post='660049' date='Nov 20 2009, 12:25 PM']I also have A CIJ 66 jazz in CAR with the matching headstock and a lovely "dots n bound" neck. Its curently suffering with a little bit of fret buzz on the low E but other than that she is a beauty [/quote] A bit off topic and i apologise, but yours is the best avatar ive ever seen!!! just brilliant, beautiful basses by the way, especially the jazz - lee
  21. I did read once that verdines early recordings he used an old 50,s precision with flats, ive a great early concert on DVD where he,s using a white late 60,s/early 70,s jazz (block markers) with what look like dimarzios in and it sounds great - lee
  22. [quote name='spacecowboy' post='662303' date='Nov 23 2009, 12:37 AM']Ahh excellent stuff! yeah that will look dead smart, the guy i gave mine to also has a White Jazz that he's putting the White Covers on! it'll look ace! Post some pics up when you've done it mate.[/quote] Hi ben, will hopefully stick them on in the next day or so, my jazz is very off white, so i think the cream ones would be cool a bit like verdine whites, will see what the white one,s look like, just as nice, i am thinking of putting my front pickup cover back on as well, im always taling it on and off as the mood takes me - lee
  23. [quote name='EBS_freak' post='662293' date='Nov 23 2009, 12:19 AM']Yeah (stripey t shirt), you were playing two of my basses![/quote] just amended my question as i realised it was daft great to meet you mate, had a ball on your beauties, and ive been on bernies website planning mine, thanks again really made my afternoon actually
  24. [quote name='EBS_freak' post='662282' date='Nov 22 2009, 11:58 PM']5 string Rumour?! He's got ya!! Glad you liked 'em![/quote] AAWWW mate!!! ive got to say incredibly impressed ive been playing nearly 20 years and have never sounded so bloody good ( bernie just needs to invent a talent switch for me ) incidentally just been lookng at your basses, and the one i played looked a lot like yours was that you i spoke too who owned it?- lee
  25. yeah it was a bit on the loud side, oh and sorry i did indulge in a bit of slapping in E but idid do some slapping in G too!!! i couldnt help it when bernie turned on that treble switch, i did play some fingerstyle funk and some jazzy noodling blown away by the GB,s i did have a play on the enfields too very nice indeed, great pickup and i think a nod to the future, had a good long chat at that booth and was very impressed ( oh and played the bass that was reviewed in Bass guitar that was also used by Hugh macdonald on x factor). Was very nice to talk to john east who,s a lovely man, lots of nice people all round really, but yes REALLY LOUD!!!!!!
