Let me know when you are ready to sell it then!!

Used prices REALLY vary with spectors. It will depend how long you can wait with it up for sale. Not many bassists either know of spector, or don't like them so they tend to sit in the for sale section for a long time, usually with sellers dropping the price just to move it on. To give you an idea, I saw a rebop 4 go for £470 I think it was on ebay recently which is crazy cheap, but would never pay more that £600 for a rebop 4, you can get euro 4's for not a lot more than that, and rebops are around £1000 brand new. Five strings is say the rule of add £100 on a 4 sring price is about average and applies to spectors from new. Would be a shame to let this go, but also a shame to let her just sit never being played, it's a beautifull bass, and I don't normally like red basses!

There are so many variables in a bass, it's a really open ended question. As far as I understand it from a science point of view is that assists in the transference of the vibration to the body. It "should" be more rigid than a BBOT and therefore absorb less of the vibration. Which "in theory" should give you better sustain, but again will vary on the species and density of the timber used for the body. People also claim that different metals of bridge/nut can have an adverse affect on tone so who knows, it's all down to personal preference. Personally, I have a gotoh bridge on my jazz and wouldn't go back to BBOT, but the fact that most new USA fenders come with their new high mass bridge either suggests that the theory is sound, or there are enough people who think it is sound for them to make the change. Just do it and get on with playing!

To save a further thread drift, I have sent you a PM

I'm in wigan mate, but thanks for the offer! The ns2000/5's are a nice but if gear! Is yours passive?

Ooooooh, I do like that!!! I really need to try a spector 5 string, but they never seem to come up anywhere nearby! Congrats on the new bass, enjoy!

Thanks Rob, that's what I wanted to hear!! I have played the RockBass corvette six and while the neck is wide, it's quite flat thickness wise and relatively easy to play. Just need to find one now!!

Hi all, Anyone own a spector legend 6 and care to give me some feedback on the playability? I have a euro 4 that I love and considering getting a 6er, but budget won't go so far to get a euro 6. I'd be interested in knowing the thickness of the neck (as In between the thumb and fingers when playing), or even better, anyone in the north west have one they wouldn't mind letting me try out? Any help appreciated!!!

Agreed, pic please. Open the back and see for yourself if it has the trim!! Massively lusting after a rebop myself

I play for fun (at least at the moment) so it's. It my full time job. So I'm not the final authority here, but I have always been friends with the people in my bands. The danger is if you are close friends, and the band falls apart, or people start acting like a dick, it cuts far deeper as there is a sense of betrayal or some other similar emotion. I like to think that even if I was a full time musician, I would be friends with others in the band, it's in my nature to be that way. I just can't justify spending the time with people I can't stand or have no interest in, but that's me. Maybe if I was getting paid a shed load...

I got mine of a Facebook gear page!

I have just made the jump after pickup up a used akg system. I have to say I am pleasantly surprised by the tone, it has changed slightly, but nothing that a very slight tweak of an eq can't sort out. Mines an Akg wms40, picked it up for £40, so not a big risk but it will be staying now!

My heart has just dropped. Having just recently lost my 2nd grandmother to this horrendous undignified condition, this is awful news. Being an Aussie, AC/DC is in my DNA, and to think that one if these guys has this at their age is really sad

[quote name='Norris' timestamp='1411731837' post='2562330'] Don't you find that even when someone compliments you on a good performance, you are still thinking about that note you missed during the key change into the second chorus, and how the drummer speeded up in the last song before the break, and how the guitarist never can get the rhythm of those accents quite right... and end up replying...

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1411683115' post='2561976'] or is it just that we realise no other musicians/audience members really want to bother with us. [/quote] I think it's this that keeps us pretty humble! I usually find it's other bass players or drummers that comment. I had one guy at our last gig (a drummer) comment on what an awesome rhythm section we were! Sticks chest out...
