    Go for it. It is a great bass. You can haggle a bit too: The knobs are not the original ones!

    Speaking of Polish prog, one of my favs:

    That's hilarious. The band name, the clothes, the hairstyles. Would love to check them out on YT, but I am concerned that when I type in their band name, I will then be bombarded with certain ads and if my wife sees them, she will get concerned 😉

    The only Christmas Nr 1 I really liked:

    Well spotted, DCI @Maude 🙂

    Congrats! I am sure you will enjoy it. I recently owned its sibling in the sunburst finish, also from 78. Great bass with lots of oomph. Unfortunately, I recently had to sell it to pay some bills. Sad but true 😞 Maybe someone here got it (sold it via BassBros). Whoever got it - you got yourself a great bargain!

    Happy to pay you 50p, won't even haggle, because it's Christmas time. Shall I send you my address for delivery? 😉

    The most expensive bass ever sold at auction for $496,100 Like yours from 78. https://www.rollingstone.co.uk/music/news/paul-mccartneys-bass-is-now-the-most-expensive-ever-sold-at-auction-8202/

    I am sure Fender will eventually release an American Pro 11 but at the moment we are still only at nr 2 (II) 😉 BTW, there is no Ultra II, at least not at the moment, maybe you know more than us (NAMM is around the corner so maybe you have some insider intel :-). There is a Vintera II and an American Vintage II though.

    I am confident that in one universe of the multiverse, this makes perfect sense.

    I also think Sterling by Music Man should reach out to Sting and offer him a Ray 34 as a signature bass. Would then be the Sting Ray 34. 😜 Ok, ok, I better go 😉
  12. Eldon Tyrell
    Not to mention that there was also a US made Music Man SUB and a Music Man S.U.B.

    Ok, I'll better go offline before it gets worse 🙂

    BTW, the photo only shows 4 strings. Where is the 5th? Or do they only put it on at the till? 🤪
  15. Eldon Tyrell
    Talk you OUT of it? Really? You do know that you are on Basschat here, so the least you can expect is that we'll do our very best to talk you INTO it 😉
  16. Eldon Tyrell
    Is it possible to see some photos of the back of the bass please? What is the weight? Cheers!
  17. Eldon Tyrell
    Yes, he mentions it in this video (2:42). Let's hope that Spector brings back the previous model (with or without the J). The current signature model is a limited edition anyway, to celebrate 50 years of JP (well, the 50th anniversary was in 2019). That's why it has the big inlay. https://www.spectorbass.com/product/euro4-ian-hill/
  18. Eldon Tyrell
    That's how his previous PJ version looked like. I guess I have to try and find one now!
  19. Eldon Tyrell
    Sorry, Dave 😝
  20. Eldon Tyrell
    Cool looking bass. Reminds me a bit of the bass that this random bloke is playing here 😉 GLWTS 👍
  21. Eldon Tyrell
    Right time of the year to enjoy this classic from 93. Wait, that's 30 years ago!! Man, time flies 😞
  22. Eldon Tyrell
    I know Spector started with natural wood finishes back in 77 (walnut wings) and in the 90s started with all the fancy wood tops (buckeye burl etc.). However, for me the black and white gloss ones are still my absolute favs, esp. Eddie's black one and Mike Starr's white one. BTW, in case some of you haven't done so, check out PJ Rubal's (Spector's former VP) website that features his basses from all pre-Korg eras (i.e., Brooklyn, Kramer, SSD and Woodstock): https://vintagespector.com/index.html I think he must have one, if not the largest collection of Spector basses, probably closely followed by our very own @cetera 🙂

    If your budget is not enough for a NS-2, here are some gloss black alternatives: Spector Euro 4 Classic in black for £2.6k https://www.thomann.de/gb/spector_euro_4_classic_solid_black.htm Spector Ian Hill Signature bass 50th anniversary for £2k. Great price but the JP inlay is a bit of an eyesore. Sorry, JP fans 😉 https://www.bassdirect.co.uk/product/spector-euro-4-limited-edition-ian-hill-black-gloss/
  24. Eldon Tyrell
    Same here. Check out this headless guy and his great take on two of my fav QR songs. Sounds killer! Kramer era NS-2 in gloss black. Man, that's the bass to have (and my black Forte was modelled on it, incl. the thinner neck specs, just without the inlays and with black hardware instead of gold).

    Also check out his Spector sound on Enter Sandman on the Black album (isolated bass track from 3:06). Cool stuff.
