You know, this thread could end up being a goldmine for folks thinking about getting a custom bass built for them. So much to think about especially getting the nippy thing just right.

Thought I'd add this thread to see what nipped folks about basses? I have a rather lovely Spector Euro LT4 in violin burst, it is gorgeous and sounds amazing due to the Darkglass preamp and Bartolini pups, BUT ... the top horn is not inline with the 12th fret and it throws me off! Coupled with that is the stupid location of the rear strap button! I've gone back to using my trusted and familiar US P. Auld moaning git no1 - Andy PS, happy new year y'all

I would say the BB1600 was the most desireable - for me anyway - and is most rare

For sale in Scotland:

Might be but what a player huh!!

Think Suzi might be playing a BB here:

Yeah the strings are close to the pups on my Spector. The Barts with the Darkglass will absolutely thrill you when you get used to them - Amazing tone and growl! Mr Bartolini passed yesterday https://www.guitarworld.com/news/bill-bartolini-has-died

I have the 4 string version and what a bass it is!! The Barts coupled with the Darkglass preamp is amazing!

Nice one, cheers 👍

Firstly, my apologies for putting this here because it might be more suited to the weird and wonderful eBay section. However, I cannot fathom this bass at all, can’t locate a Schecter headless and going by the crown style inlays, Spector is out too. So, what is it? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/256163864371?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=LueLmidJTMK&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=PGq_huysSd-&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Yep I think they are. My BB714 has a 40mm nut, jazz is 38mm, pbass is 42mm unless is a vintage reissue of sorts, & Billy Sheehans attitude is a baseball bat at 45mm at the nut.

I have a Euro 4 LT P/J but I do fancy one of these: https://www.spectorbass.com/product/euro4-lt-rudy-sarzo/ Actually, this version: https://www.spectorbass.com/product/euro4-lx-rudy-sarzo/

A hazmat suit and gardening gloves to, just to ensure it left no marks or stains!

This BB404f going for sale in Pathhead a few miles south of Edinburgh: https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/230548806292596/?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3Aeb55e048-8fa6-47eb-b1f9-f53fc8f8e2af

Maybe worth trying a new set of strings, I always find RotoSound RS66 give me the power and tone I require.

Billy Sheehan just posted this on FB:

I am so looking forward to seeing this complete given I saw the original.
