[quote name='solo4652' timestamp='1484992845' post='3220191'] Westone Spectrum ST with an interesting body crack [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Westone-Spectrum-ST-Bass-Guitar/322393129216?_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D2%26asc%3D40860%26meid%3D02c8c1e38ff7459fa6f6c71156882231%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D6%26rkt%3D6%26sd%3D292001183115"]http://www.ebay.co.u...%3D292001183115[/url] [/quote] I would guess that its just a crack in the fnish. I wouldnt expect wood to crack in that manner. I could be wrong though

another thumbs up for Kevin. looking forward to my next lesson already!

I know you say you already have Africa but this is probably still worth a look: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_gSS7QTCM8

[quote name='blue' timestamp='1484278675' post='3214315'] Guys, I think Scott from Scott's Bass would side with my position on tone. Blue [/quote] Its your pedantry that most people have an issue with. the fact you dont seem to grasp that suggests that arrogance pay also be an issue here. everyone else clearly understood what the OP was asking

[quote name='blue' timestamp='1483906473' post='3211057'] Chorus is an effect, compression is processing. Neither are tone. Blue [/quote] I bet you're great fun at parties!

looking forward to meeting Kevin and having my first lesson on Monday!

[quote name='skb558' timestamp='1484209726' post='3213473'] Looks like a glitch with eBay. Ad now shows actual bass with starting bid of £320. Laptop at £170. [/quote] or the scammer reliased that his scam wasnt going to work if he sets the start bid so high!

[quote name='GisserD' timestamp='1484147939' post='3213047'] New guitar arrived today. The wood grain is "normal" and no damage to speak of on initial inspection. Only had 2 mins with it tho as I'm at work. Full inspection and report will follow But I'm over the moon with how it looks [/quote] it could just be the photo but it looks to me like you need to remove the scratchplate to access the trussrod? please tell me that isnt the case!

[quote name='molan' timestamp='1483964298' post='3211405'] I've seen some Fodera copies before but not anything quite like this. I'd love to see it in the flesh just to see how well made it is. [/quote] the trussrod sticking out 1/2" at the base of the neck doesnt inspire much confidence...

Probably not a bad bass for the price and could be worth it for the shock value alone when you take it out your gig bag at next rehearsal!😉

Never seen a Fodera copy before: Look at this on eBay  http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/162344363846

But that isn't the sale price? It's just the current highest bid...

[quote name='Risk101' timestamp='1482512715' post='3201233'] Wouldn't hesitate to send it back - very poor wood selection - looks unnatural in my view. You have the love the look as much as the sound. [/quote] Unnatural looking wood? Now I've heard everything!😂

[quote name='LayDownThaFunk' timestamp='1481892170' post='3195997'] I don't get this thing about cheap strings on a bass. It's like buying a sports car and then having the cheapest tyres available put on it. Why would you do it to a bass? I use DR strings but I pay £14 a set... [/quote] absolutely. and quality strings, like tyres, last longer so although the initial outlay is more, in the long run it's a better investment and not to mention they sound better(the strings that is, not the tyres!)

[quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1481664004' post='3194193'] I think you know where you are when the opening word, "nice", is a lie. [/quote] Indeed! If that is a "nice" one I would hate to see an ugly one!!
