    Wow, I would call that a bargain. According to Inflation calculator | Bank of England that's only £956.92. Compare that to how much a Pro II costs nowadays.

    I think that's unfair and discriminatory. Why would they ban you for referring to someone from Twatt, Orkney (or Shetland)? 😉

    Nice one. I have a 74 which looks pretty much the same, including this strange extra screw on the pickguard (above the G string, between pickup and neck). According to Fender Guitars Serial Number Decoder - GuitarInsite yours is a 75 or 76: Production year: 1975 or 1976 Made in Fullerton, USA You can also check the pots to see if they are from around that time

    Yes, definitely better than Absurd but still not really that great. This song is also from the Chinese Democracy sessions. Hope they eventually write some really new (and better) songs. http://www.alternativenation.net/guns-n-roses-debut-first-new-reunion-song/

    Yeah, together with Scooter: "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.

    Laughable lyrics? Really? What is wrong with lines like: "Syphilitic priestess baby, I know who you are Parasitic demon sucking acid through your heart" Sounds like a contender for the Noble Prize for Literature to me 😉
  7. Eldon Tyrell
    Agree, but still want it NOW 😉

    Checked the UPS tracking website and it still stays "Delivery: Monday, Aug 9th". My TC is now in Tamworth, which is just 40min from me. C'mon, UPS, do me a favour and quickly hop over 😉

    Yeah, I also found it strange to see a TC short-scale model. However, over at TB, Alex Claber, the Director of Barefaced Audio, said that TC used them in his previous band Wakrat and is playing them now in his new band 7D7D. He was also thinking of taking some on the (now delayed) RATM tour.

    That's what I thought too. However, looks like Sweetwater (and maybe some other retailers too) will also sell them. https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/StRay4TCN--ernie-ball-music-man-tim-commerford-stingray-special-passive-bass-guitar-natural-ebony-fingerboard https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/StRay4TCB--ernie-ball-music-man-tim-commerford-stingray-special-active-bass-guitar-black-with-roasted-maple-fingerboard https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/StRaySS4TCVS--ernie-ball-music-man-tim-commerford-short-scale-stingray-special-passive-bass-guitar-vintage-sunburst-rosewood-fingerboard https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/StRaySS4TCB--ernie-ball-music-man-tim-commerford-short-scale-stingray-special-active-bass-guitar-natural-maple-fingerboard

    This particular model has sold out now. There are still 11 of the long-scale and active model available (the black one). By contrast, plenty of the short-scale models are still available (62 in total!). Not selling that well.

    I also ordered one and paid everything (price for bass, shipping, and VAT) at the time of checkout. So, there should not be any more costs when it arrives on Monday. The Vault is really good and much, much cheaper than getting it from UK retailers (cutting out the markup for distributor and retailer). For example, for the EBMM Stingray Special 4HH BFR "Kingpin", Bass Direct wants £3699. Now look how much it costs you by ordering directly from EBMM (again, all charges included!): Cart Subtotal (1 item):£2139.28 GBP UPS Expedited:£111.02 GBP Duties and taxes:£530.66 GBP Order Total: £2780.96 GBP Savings: £918.04 Links: Shop Ernie Ball Music Man - Ernie Ball Music Man StingRay Special HH - Kingpin (music-man.com) Musicman Stingray Special 4® HH, BFR Kingpin Bass Direct - MUSICMAN, MUSIC MAN, - For sale, UK Basses specialist, USA, Birmingham, Manchester, London, Ernie Ball, Active bass

    Congrats. Looks amazing. Enjoy 👍

    My only LX is the Mike Starr LE and that is the only bass that is not going anywhere. So, @Al Krow, if you want me to help @JohnDaBass, you have to "lend" me another Euro LX first 😉
  15. Eldon Tyrell
    Congrats. Looks great. The Legend NT was my first Spector. However, don't lie to your wife. Tell her that the bass is just a loan from Eldon Tyrell and that you will return it by the end of the month. I'll send you my address 😉
  16. Eldon Tyrell
    I am tempted but realistically not this year. I have the EBMM TC sig basses arriving on Monday, so I really should not even bother thinking about it. Instead, I should sell one of my Spector Fortes to finance the TC. GAS really is a disease 😉 So, maybe early next year. Let's see what NAMM has to offer.
  17. Eldon Tyrell
    I looked at the photos on BD's website and the second to last photo of the headstock shows the "Ian Hill" signature. It is in the right place. So, unless the previous owner created his own IH signature, it is an IH signature model. The typical thin neck specs would also give it away but I cannot judge that from the photos. Spector Euro 4LX four string bass, poplar burl top, Second Hand and Ex-demo Bass Guitar Stock:: For sale, UK, EU, Birmingham, Manchester, London USA, on offer (bassdirect.co.uk)
  18. Eldon Tyrell
    Happy to make you a good offer then. I am not known for keeping my basses for long 😉
  19. Eldon Tyrell
    Correct, the previous IH model came as a PJ model (black only). For the current models (black and white), Spector and Ian decided to get rid of the J pickup as Ian never uses it anyway (there are videos where he mentions that).
  20. Eldon Tyrell
    Thomann lists it at £858. I think that's not too bad. The bass comes with the SD Vintage P and J pickups, a Gotoh bridge, and an ebony FB. Ok, the tuners seem to be a bit flimsy (according to some reviews I've read) but overall, not too bad for that price.
  21. Eldon Tyrell
    Man, things are getting pretty dark and gloomy now in this thread. Time to lighten things up a bit 🙂
  22. Eldon Tyrell
    Yep, here you go:
  23. Eldon Tyrell
    Spector fans, is one of you currently selling lots of your Spector basses ? I've just checked Bass Direct's pre-owned section and there are several new additions. I think at least 5 (7 in total). Have to ask my wife to hide my credit cards in a safe place 😉
  24. Eldon Tyrell
    Well, which of you two is "evil, self-indulgent, and uncaring to anyone but himself"? 😉
  25. Eldon Tyrell
    I wonder what they will release next. Maybe a jazz-blues or a blues-jazz record?
