Oh cool! What did they say?
Sorry Linus, I didnt see the reply, but glad you are sorted. Exactly the point I made in my full magazine review, it sounds bigger than it is. Check out the full article in iGuitarMag.com
A picture from this fine instrument's previous owner - It's very much in the same condition!
Stag, I hadn't planned to bring it out with me as I've other stuff I need to do - but lemme see!

....so not 70s P bass weight then?
[/quote]
I've got a CIJ 70's reissue and it's light as a feather! - But yes, I know what you mean, some of the 70's P's were heavy! - Well, it's a 6er and has a lot of hardware on board, so it's not lightweight, but even me with my bad back didn't struggle. It balances well - it's substantial but not ridiculous.
Hi Ash! Well, I'm afraid I don't own any scales! It's certainly heavier than my Shuker headless. it's a substantial beast but it's not the heaviest Bass I've owned. That was a Conklin!
Sorry for the lack of pictures I promised! They're still on my 'phone as I have been a wee bit busy today! If you can hang in there a bit longer I'll get them up later on!
Dooooooood
Who wants to tear my arm off first? This one's a beaut'!
Heh heh! It is a tad isn't it! There's nothing wrong with the Bass, I'd just feel dishonest if I didn't pass on the good deal I got on it by upping the price to the going rate.. But hey, if ya wanna give me more for it I won't argue he he!
More pictures to come, just a few phone transfer issues!
Hey all! I trust you are all well! I've had this six string for a reasonably short while actually! I bought it as a 'spare' Bass for a down tuning project but realised I didn't really need it and was a bit of an impulse purchase. - I needed something much sooner to record with than Jon could make me another bass!
So, no sooner has it come in, it's on it's way out!
I'll take some pictures later - but needless to say, these are really nice basses and given the RRP of around £1400 - £1600
(Here's a new one on ebay for £1400 [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Spector-Euro-6-LX-Electric-Bass-Neck-thru-NEW-/390363782036?pt=Guitar&hash=item5ae37e9b94#ht_1477wt_1163"]http://www.ebay.co.u...#ht_1477wt_1163[/url])
you maybe forgiven that there is something wrong with this one for the price I am selling at. It's in great great condition with only a wee bit of tarnish on the bridge and a loose knob that I'm just about to tighten up!
Features my favourite EMG DC45 pickups and the Spector TonePump circuit (yes the one with the gain control). I've not fettled with or adjusted the instrument at all and that is taken in to consideration in the price also.
I understand it features a Graphite reinforced rock maple neck with a 35" scale
Beautiful Spalted Maple top under a wet look glossy finish. (which is an additional option, not a standard) YUM!
ok - rip my arm off [b]£700[/b] picked up - If I'm shipping then please send me a hard case, it'd be daft to send this beautiful bass in cardboard!
Thank you all! Ahhh glad to hear I'm off to a good start! I'm certainly open to suggestions! Yup, there are plans for Bass tutorials too and lots of other goodies up our sleeves!
I've completed my reviews for the next issue already so it won't be far off now!
Well you see everything went downhill after the June 2011 issue...
That's the June 2011 edition if you are looking to get a back issue...
And have an interest in SHUKER basses... In the....ahhhhh June issue...
This year.. Ummmmm... 2011...
I hear the person who did the piece was a pretty cool dude too...

I love this thread!! There's a certain irony that in the past a thread about a slap video has notoriously ended up having a comment about the ole 'building a shed with a drum kit' slappage being a compensation for a lack of something else - and in this discussion about fingers and slapping we're all discussing the size of our signatures! See, this kinda humour just wouldn't happen on a Guitar forum! ha ha ha!
Hey Leemarc, welcome to the forum - it's good to have you aboard. You might like to place your advert in your signature in the Bass Tutors section if you haven't already and if you can please, shrink down the size of your signature banner a wee bit more. Mebbe have a horizontal one instead ;o) Have a look at other user's sigs for a guide.
Cheers!
