Here is my excellent USA Spector Shorty bass for sale. I bought this off the forum last year and have hardly played it. Mick who I got it from bought it new from Bass Direct and he hardly played it so it is immaculate. When I took it to my guitar teacher he just smiled from ear to ear and said "Effortless" enough said!!!!!!!!!! The bass was originally designed for Garry Tallent, Bruce Springsteen's bass player. Stuart Spector then decided to make this bass available to order to the general public and it offers all of the luxury appointments of a USA Spector but with a 30.4 inch scale. The body is lightweight mahogany with a superb quilted maple top finished in a translucent black satin. The neck is a bolt on 3 piece maple affair with dual graphite rods and a pau ferro fingerboard. The hardware consists of a Hipshot type A bridge, Gotoh GBY 7 tuners. The electrics are a pair of EMG 35CS soapbars and and Aquilar OPB 3 preamp. Controls are: Vol/Vol/Mid/Stacked Treble and bass. You also have a push pull on each volume for coil splitting and push pull on the mid to select frequency. This is a boutique short scale bass that has the feel and refinement that a discerning bass player will appreciate. It is far to good for my limited abilities. The bass is immaculate and comes in the correct Spector hard case. The retail is about £2'600. [b]I bought it off Mick for £1'400 and that is what I would like for it please. [/b] I don't want any trades thank you. I live near Chipping Norton in Oxfordshire and you are more than welcome to come and try it and have a cuppa and chat. thanks Mike(Pestie) [url="http://s1283.photobucket.com/user/Mikevickers1/media/SpectorShortyampGenzBenz003_zps36655101.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1283.photobucket.com/user/Mikevickers1/media/SpectorShortyampGenzBenz005_zps392bce6f.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1283.photobucket.com/user/Mikevickers1/media/SpectorShortyampGenzBenz004_zps5438ec52.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1283.photobucket.com/user/Mikevickers1/media/SpectorShortyampGenzBenz006_zps21d1b212.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1283.photobucket.com/user/Mikevickers1/media/SpectorShortyampGenzBenz007_zps3d7d8166.jpg.html"][/url]

For sale is my as new Genz Benz cab. I bought it new from Bass Direct about 4 months ago for £349 without the cover which cost another £55. Since buying it I have hurt my back and arm and needed something lighter so bought a Barefaced off the forum. The cab has only been used about 5 times and never gigged so is in "As New" condition. Here is some spec for you:[list] [*]Four 150w speakers [*]Compression Tweeter [*]1/4" and Speakon inputs [*]3 Position tweeter level control [*]Reinforced multi layered plywood [*]Heavy duty metal speaker grill [*]Recessed metal handles [*]600w [*]8 ohms [*]26"x24"x17" approx [*]29kg [*]Roqsolid cover with green piping [/list] I would like £205 for the cab and cover please, it is all as new and at this price must be a bargain. You will need to collect this cab because it is fairly large and weighs around 29kg. I live near Chipping Norton in Oxfordshire. Thanks Mike (Pestie) [url="http://s1283.photobucket.com/user/Mikevickers1/media/SpectorShortyampGenzBenz001_zps6a70e7e3.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1283.photobucket.com/user/Mikevickers1/media/SpectorShortyampGenzBenz002_zps81062991.jpg.html"][/url]

Just put LaBella flats on, Whoa, hold me down!!!!!!!!!!!!! This bass makes the walls shake

This is all great thank you. I have just ordered a set of Labella Flats from Mark at Bass direct and will get them on as soon as they come. I think the idea of two SR500's is a very good one because as 6v6, thebrig, and CountBassy all state, these Ibanez basses are really excellent quality. I have been looking at them for ages and am really pleased I got this one, it is wonderful and when the flats go on Whoa!!!!!!!! hold me down. Thank you yet again for some cracking help.

Wicked!! Thank you all so much.
-
Thank you very much my friends, You are right, i will get a set and get them on.

Hello everyone I know I am a bit dense when it comes to new things but I do need help with this one. I have just bought a lovely Ibanez SR500 off the forum. It is a bit too crisp for me as it is. Is it okay to put a nice set of flats on it or will this just take away the character or the bass. I love the bass but prefer a more old school heavy sound. All advice gratefully accepted. Thank you Mike(Pestie)

Just received Gareth's delicious SR500. It is an absolute stunner and dealing with Gareth was a pleasure. Quick, easy, hassle free with top communications. Gareth even drove from his home to near where I live so that the bass arrived safely. Top man!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You can deal with Gareth with confidence, he is a top BC'er.
