Price Drop **£950** Been dithering on this, but my recent Spector purchase is the sound in my head, and this is too special to be relegated to a back up Bought new last year, more than a handful of people have told me it's the nicest bass they've ever played... first to see will buy. In as good condition as a hardcore relic'd bass can be, only wear is the delano logo has worn from the pick ups features: Active 2 band EQ incl active/passive switch and pick up blend Delano PJ pickups (awesome P sound) Slim super comfortable neck Low action and shallow neck heel for great access Easy access battery compartment Includes padded Sandberg gigbag Prefer collection or drop off in vicinity of Tyne and wear. Can look to ship at buyers expense- 3 replies

So after buying a sub n up to replace the T16... then buying a second sub n up because I loved the capabilities of the first one so much... I discovered there's an internal tone pump adjuster inside the body cavity! I dropped that 1/8th of a turn, and it'll now play nicely with my T16! I now have 3 varients of sub octaves that I'm likely to never need, but hopefully this info will help someone else down the line, as I haven't found it anywhere else

SOLD Music Man Sterling (US) now £1049!

Wow! -
I know, but due to the spector not playing well with analogue, the next best bet seems to be finding a digital pedal that can get near the sub tones needed for EDM et al...
-
Been looking at the Sub n Up last night actually, I'd rather the issue be fixed at the pedal than having to buy other basses. I'd have thought with the toneprint editor I'd be able to get close(-ish) enough to the big analogue sub settings on my T16. Any prolific Sub n Up users had any experience with MM bridge pick ups?
-
Thanks for the help and advice, gents :). Not the answers I was hoping for, but it is what it is
-
The thought of going to a digital pedal gives me shudders... What about running a compressor before the T16? Could that maybe tame things enough? Failing that, I may have to buy a cheap precision to use on those tunes.
-
It doesn't unfortunately, and it's a boost only 2 band eq! 😬 Would the T47 running at 18v not handle it a bit better perhaps?
-
I'm thinking you both may have hit the nail on the head... Any suggestions on how to make them play nice? I'm planning on selling the Sandberg and don't really want to keep such a nice bass for 2/3 songs max.
-
I'm assuming the pedal, as it's the same set up I've always used except for the change in bass... I may have to do a bit of investigation, but kicking in the T16 is usually my favourite part of the set, needless to say, last night was a disappointment haha.
-
It is, but the Sandberg I was using before it was too and I had no issues (admittedly the active pre in the Sandberg seemed a bit more tame)
-
I've always used my T16 V2 and thought it was the best thing in the world! Use it with filter set to sub, wet sound 100% and dry totally off. Had the most massive deep sub tone. Gigged it with my Spector rebop 4mm and all of a sudden to the deep bass wasn't as deep and all of a sudden distorted. Didn't expect that at all! 🤔
-
Haha glad I could be of assistance (potentially) 😆. I'm going to do a bit of digging tonight before committing; I'd like to be sure it's not too similar to the bass soul food it'd be replacing.
-
My recent Spector Rebop 4MM purchase has cured my Bass gas (temporarily, doubt). Main things on my gas list right now are a line6 helix hx, and a Cog knightfall 66
-
haha sounds good!... I'll drop you a PM

I find the BSF great is a grit pedal, but as our repertoire has changed I've got less use for a grit pedal and would prefer something with a bit more gain and body. At present, the BSF is being used to stack into a SA Bass OFD for the Kasabian club foot tone, but even then it seems out of it's depth. At current, I have 1 control on the OFD set for the club foot fuzz, and the other for an all purpose tube drive with clean blend. The OFD, unfortunately isn't great for changing on the fly, so it's sort of stuck at that. The Behringer may be a bit too big, as there's literally space on the board for a standard sized pedal unfortunately, it's a very tight board!

So I was looking for a replacement for my Bass Soul Food, and saw a few recommendations for the TC MojoMojo. After looking for a local supplier to try one it seems that both guitarguitar AND PMT have stopped selling them, and Anderton's have them on what seems like an end of line deal for £40 (plus P+P). I've made the mistake of jumping head first into pedals before and coming out with a loss so I'd ideally like to try before buying... So I ask you... What other budget friendly dark horse distortion/OD pedals are great for bass, whether it be intentional or happy accident?
-
Cheers folks, It's a great bass! I love the satin finish. Only used through headphones so far but there's a lot more body to the tone than I expected with the pick up placement. Build quality seems better than the EBMM Sterling 5 I had a while back(although this may have been a bad apple). Excited to see how it sits in the band mix. I can see how spector's can become addictive, Greek! I'm already considering looking for a PJ config next! Which spectors do you have?
-
I'm impressed with the personal touch with text message etc, so far so good 🙂 The bass is a Spector rebop 4MM bought from Rhysyjob this week
-
Thanks for the suggestions, ended up with the spector case from Thomann, bass direct didn't get back to me with a timescale from their distributer. Bit dubious from the reviews I've read, but seems the best case for the job
-
Hi everyone! Anyone got any recommendations for a hard case for a spector bass? Between the small curved body and angled head stock I'm absolutely paranoid it's going to end up in a snapped heap of firewood! Thanks
-
Purchased Rhysyjob's Spector Rebop 4MM, through facebook co-incidentally before realising it was the same bass on here. Great fella to deal with, kept me informed and the bass came far better packaged than I've ever seen before in immaculate condition as described. Thanks again mate!
-
No, as it happened I didn't. Although in fairness I didn't go to great efforts to complain about it. I mentioned it on here, Facebook bass pages etc but decided to switch brands. Dunlop super brights have been a budget friendly breath of fresh air; everything I had hoped for from the D'Addarios in excess.
-
If GK is on the cards personally I'd forget the ashdown! I've never used an ashdown head that hasn't sucked the bite and attack from my tone. I ALMOST passed on buying a stingray on a sweet deal because it was demoed through an ashdown, took it home to try, and there was the tone! (Amp at home was a TC RH750, which I also didn't get on with but found preferable to the ashdown by far). GK all the way.

It might be best to sit and write a list of all features you require, and all of the ones that are surplus that would be nice but not deal breakers. Some of the things you've listed are for different application and have different feature sets that may not tick every box.
