  1. I have one of those ^^^ as recommended by Happy jack, including the additional back support. If you by any chance live in London and are happy to collect it from SW13 you can have it for free
  2. Hi there, just trying to help your sale but - if it's not On Hold any longer - I would edit the title as those words could put off potential buyers. Lovely bass and GLWYS!!!
  3. I'm stumped by the control layout. Especially the silly mid on
  4. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/154401709430?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=qmTAuKikTvW&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
  5. From a quick search of google images, the world is littered with bass players whose status and respect is clearly utterly misplaced due to their over-the-neck thumb placement ... in addition to the examples above (Jaco, Victor W etc) there is Stanley Clarke, Jack Bruce, Roger Glover, Geezer Butler, Tim Lefebvre, JJ Burnel etc. Just think what they could have achieved with a few lessons at the Guitar Institute
  6. As far as I am aware, BD are the only UK dealer. If you search on BAssChat I am pretty sure there have been threads about them and I recall people being happy with them. Think @Sibob had one (in firemist gold?), if memory serves me correctly.
  7. BassDirect sells them. Here is their stock page. https://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Modern_Vintage.html
  8. Used to be mine. Massively characterful bass for very few quids. GLWYS
  9. I personally find the TI Jazz Rounds even lower tension than the Flats (might just be my perception, rather than reality). I can also recommend DR 40-100 nickel rounds with round cores, either the Sunbeams or the Blues
  10. I tracked some down. PM me with how many you need and your post address and I will lob them in post to you, gratis
  11. ... and rubb-erized pants with elast-icashun
  12. ... and in-vol-un-tary urinashun
  13. Looks like Andy Baxter is now selling the high end range https://www.andybaxterbass.com/collections/bass-guitars/hofner
  14. The chrome Thunderbucker type pickup looks very cool too, much more so than the stock black one.
  15. Intrigued by these. Does anyone have any feedback on the relative tension of the 40-100 set vs the 45-105? I prefer lower tension strings in general (eg TI Flats) but as these are round core - not hex core - maybe the 40-100 set would be too low tension? Edit: I have searched online but can't find any string tension measurements for DR strings. Also these would be for my gloss black Spector bass.
  16. Posted tonight @cetera Separately: Spector users, do flats work with EMG/TP? Specifically TI Jazz Flats ... I know that Spector growl is probably best with rounds but my somewhat knackered left hand is much happier playing flats. If the answer is 'no', then fine. If its 'yes' though, that would be cool
  17. Hi Dave, our front man/singer and band leader (Wily Bo Walker) is taking time out to move house, do other stuff. Our next booked gig is a good'un, main stage on Saturday night at HRH Blues Festival, Sheffield O2 ... but that's in April 😞
  18. Great to hear the WB-100 had all the headroom you needed (and more), Dave. Jealous that you and WoT have had the chance to try yours out in anger. With my band "on hold" until 2023, mine just sits at home in my study being played at neighbour-friendly volumes.
  19. My 2011 Ian Hill has brass inserts into which these fit. Here is the eBay ad for a close up picture (its the 3x6mm version). I am fine about posting, got some spare stamps sitting around and obvs free of charge to you guys. Just PM me postal details and number needed. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/324575632790?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=KBMkE1CdRR6&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=eqlPJw_SSty&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
  20. Just drop me a PM with your name (its Gary, I recall?), postal address and how many you need. Same applies to any other Spector owner on BC
  21. After being pointed in the right direction by Spector, I just tracked down online the little black countersunk Philips screws (3x6mm) for the rear plastic cavity cover. My Ian Hill now has a full set in place. If any of you Spector owners needs some replacement screws I have loads left and am happy to send. Just drop me a PM with your name, postal address and how many you need
  22. In case anyone after one, Andy Baxter has a s/h Wimbish just arrived with maple board https://www.andybaxterbass.com/products/2021-spector-euro-4-lx-doug-wimbish-bahama-blue-limited-edition
