Another vote for the hipshot great piece of kit and as previously stated keep it property vasolined and graphite the nut. (that would be a strange conversation to walk into…)
B stock or not if it was advertised as Undamaged I’d get in touch with the seller and see what they have to say.
if it was damaged in transit they should have insurance.
Is say hit the stores try a few out and get whatever you like best.
I’m all for practising with a sound you prefer even if it will change at gig level.
I run an Ampeg SVT IIP through a PJB bighead headphone amp with PJB headphones, overkill? Yes
do I love the sound? Hell yes!
Makes me want to practice more when I hear that raspy growl
Don’t forget your headphones and bass when you go shopping
Purchased a GR2 off Jake, great pedal, great condition fast delivery and well wrapped.
Definitely be back next time he has an item I want.
(you don’t have a Wal for £500 do you?)

In my mind the Le 77’s, 79’s and things like anniversary models should have had hazlabs in them not tone pumps.
maybe they were afraid of encroaching on the USA mysticism…
My next Spector will be a USA NS2 preferably a Brooklyn era then I’m done.
There are to many models now I agree, they’re also offering so many different pickup/preamp options for me they are becoming watered down.
