    Spent last night rewiring me not-for-export Jap Standard with a Dimarzio DP122 [cream, of course] and the usual CTS / Switchcraft gubbins. Lovely.

    [quote name='pistol101261' post='820249' date='Apr 27 2010, 08:57 AM']Price looks high to me - I have bought from here before for £30-£40 (admittedly not with extras)[/quote] Extras such as a £100 tone circuit? Might be best keeping price queries to PM...

    [quote name='Scoop' post='812919' date='Apr 20 2010, 07:36 PM']Spectacular Peter. Good luck with the sale. You can buy with confidence, folks, Peter is one of the really good guys.[/quote] Yup. That white one's nice, which lucky bleeder got that? I'd have this one off you too, but I'm about £2,200 too short Spector & East, gentlemen - a classic combo.

    [quote name='thedonutman' post='805492' date='Apr 13 2010, 10:40 PM']Spector Spector Spector! Me, a fan boy? Never! [/quote] Me neither. Fat, clear & punchy, just what you want. Nice grain on the clear coats too.

    Tried a Spector Euro 5?
  11. johnnylager
    Horses for courses - I now use a 5 for the covers band in an rjb style & a 4 for the punk band in a Clarkey style [12 frets for me though mate ]. I find the 4 remarkably easy to play after the 5, but I am only 2 months into my 5-ship and it's a good one. I probably don't [i]need[/i] a 5, but I wanted one and I guess it came down to that.

    Ah, flogging a Euro 4 for a Euro 5 - some bloke on here did that a few months ago. Daft idea, sell something else.

    [quote name='artisan' post='792214' date='Mar 31 2010, 05:47 PM']my old blues band used to tune to E flat (the guitarist was convinced he was SRV). i was playing Fender Jazz's at the time & they only required minor adjustments,slacken the truss rod a tad (1/4 turn maybee not much) & a slightly highter action to make up for the lower string tension. a bit of a pain in the arse but no major problem.[/quote] Yep.
  14. johnnylager
    Yes. Unless Rainbow reform circa 1976-78 with me on bass, which is unlikely as Cozy's dead & Ritchie is barking, I have to. EDIT: Good point at the end there, my Hammer friend.

    Truckfighters - good call. Rob Wright [NoMeansNo / Hanson Brothers] & Ged - both Canadian too. John off Breaking Yesterday has on awesome tone - Spector / DHA / HartkeFaced. Great player too.

    IIRC, one is born either right-handed or with the potential for right [b]or[/b] left-handedness. So bind your nippers left hand early on, force them to use the right and avoid having to pay over the odds for lefty basses. Simples.

    LPB. Or Antigua. Red is a P-bass colour.

    [quote name='Johngh' post='760213' date='Feb 28 2010, 10:15 PM']Do I have to pack under it to get it to the correct height[/quote] Probably - I did, any hard foam will do. Grey pipe lagging foam is great - 60p for a metre and enough to do most of the UK's basses. [quote name='Johngh' post='760213' date='Feb 28 2010, 10:15 PM']or is there something wrong?[/quote] Probably not.

    Best amps in Christendom, these. You got the footswitch?

    There can be only one.

    [quote name='Musicman20' post='734923' date='Feb 4 2010, 12:01 PM']...'may as well get a Spector'...[/quote] Yep, get a Spector. [quote name='warwickhunt' post='734965' date='Feb 4 2010, 12:50 PM']There will of course be those who think the opposite and prefer Spectors over Warwicks (paging 'Cetera' )![/quote] Yep, get a Spector.
