No, no, it's fine, it's called shrinkflation 😉

Spector fans, decided to thin the Spector herd. Both my 2018 Forte 4 in Vintage Tint Ash (only two were ever made in this finish, PJ Rubal has the other one) and my 2021 NS-2 in lava burst (well, that's what I call it anyway ;- ) are on their way out. Both are in "as new" condition as they have never left my living room and I only played them a few times each. I won't put them on BC, reverb, ebay etc. as I don't have the time to deal with all the hassle. However, I am always happy to hear from a fellow Spector friend from this thread (and I only mention it here). Think of getting them to BD by the end of next week the latest. So, let me know via PM if you are interested before I send them to BD and save yourself some quid before you buy them from BD anyway 😉

Nice but it immediately makes me think of this classic 😎

I've been to Oz several times. Great place. It is just too far away. However, I could see myself spending our autumn/winter there (i.e. their spring/summer) and our spring/summer here. Problem is that, at least so far, I have not been able to find two employers who buy into this idea too 😉

That's a very, very dangerous thought you should immediately erase from your mind. Almost heresy 😉

Speaking of Andertons, they already have one of the new Euro 4 RSTs (Sundown Glow) in their clearance sale (2 in stock). Sounds like a great deal: £1,729 instead of £2,399. Quite surprising given that Spector only launched the new RST series recently: https://www.andertons.co.uk/bass-dept/bass-guitars/spector-bass-euro4rst-paulowina-body-w-flame-maple-top-sundown-glow

Sorted 😎

Good point. Fortunately, I don't have any basses that are worth 10k 🙂 BTW, for three of the four basses BC sold for me, I actually ended up with more money, even after the 20% cut, than what I had paid for them (all used basses I have to say though) 😍

Man, what a story. Almost Spinal Tap-ish ("Please assist in providing a detailed invoice listing the scientific name (genus and species), source (wild, captive) and country of origin of the mother of pearl inlay" - Really?). At least it ended well. I sell all my basses via BD. Ok, It costs me 20% but it saves me hassle like the one you experienced.

I also have to confess that "I'm tired of pretending I'm not special. I'm tired of pretending I'm not a total bitchin' rock star from Mars" 😎

Loser? Who is a loser? Not me, I am a winner. WINNING. WIN HERE, WIN THERE, WIN EVERYWHEREEEE

60 is the new 40! https://www.theguardian.com/society/2022/feb/09/old-age-why-60-is-the-new-40

Black and maple, timeless classic 🤩

Agree, "bold and bright" immediately made me think of this recently released bass

Really? Are you sure? "Cremation takes its piece of your supply, The night is dressed like noon, A sailor spoke too soon, And China's on the dark side of the moon" Sounds good to me. Compare that to Scooter's lyrics and you will quickly realise how awesome RHCP's lyrics really are: Start the danger Rearranger Not so cool Mercy I'm the vapour On the radar Get up on the mic and shout it Yeah, move it I spit bricks got the kicks in the mix My pricks long out the rigs Party of bricks like Jackie X No diggedy diggedy HP I'm the bad boy, roll MC, so sexy Hold your back for the rhythym attack Coming down on the floor like a maniac Hold your back for the rhythym attack Get down in full effect Hold your back for the rhythym attack Coming down on the floor like a maniac Hold your track so clean up the dish By the way How much is the fish? Aaaah! I ramp, me no ramp, Me no skin, Me no play, yeah When me chant 'pon the microphone And me say with the DJ Junglists in the place Junglists on the case Scooter are you readyyy?

Man, this looks killer. Hope whoever bought it made you a great offer you just could not resist.

Just checked the "Hound of the Baskervilles" Wiki entry. There it says under "Inspiration" "Moreover, Devon's folklore includes tales of a fearsome supernatural dog known as the Yeth hound that Conan Doyle may have heard". Well, I doubt it looked anything like this, clearly bored one, though:

Wow, did not know that Black Sabbath's Paranoid is a cover of Cindy and Berd's "Hund von Baskerville" 😉 Did I spot a young Boris Johnson in the crowd?
