    Spector fans! Saw this on BD's website. What a great looking bass. One of the best I have seen. Can someone please buy it? I am getting very tempted but I really should not even look at any new basses. So, please help me 😎

    Fortunately I don't consider myself a bedroom payer but a living room player, so I should be ok with having more than one 😉 In total, I need 11 (of course): I need one for grunge rock, one for classic rock, one for punk rock, one for prog rock, one for prog metal, one for classic heavy metal, one for nu-metal, one for doom metal, one for funk, one for disco and also one for Motown. Well, that's at least what I've told my wife 😎

    I know that feeling 🤪

    Congrats. Great basses. I recently got a CLF L2K CAR and it is an amazing bass. I have it always in series mode and adjust the other two toggle switches for different genres (e.g., back pickup and active boost for funk, both pickups and active for prog and front pickup and passive for classic rock). So much versatility. I also love the look of your black SB-2. I really hope that G&L will re-release both the SB-1 and 2 for their 40th anniversary next year with the old headstock and with black hardware. They re-released the L1k and L2K with the old headstock and the old control plate and toggle switches, so let's hope the old SB-1 and 2 come back too, maybe as part of the CLF line.

    Man, I ❤️ the "Dood", I mean the bass 😉

    @cetera, can it be that you are a tiny bit biased here? 😉

    Great looking bass with the thinner neck, which I prefer over the normal Euro necks. Very tempting indeed. GLWTS 👍

    Agree and Jerry was not in great shape either as he mentions in this interview with Lars Ulrich:

    On April 10th, 1996, AIC performed at the Brooklyn Academy of Music's Majestic Theater in NYC for MTV Unplugged. I know some people will disagree and point to Nirvana's, Pearl Jam's or Stone Temple Pilots' appearances (or definitely maybe Oasis?), but for me this is most legendary performance. Enjoy 😍

    Wow, £700 off for a 6months old bass in showroom mint condition and extra pickguards? Sounds like a fantastic bargain. Very tempting. Must resist 😎 GLWTS 👍

    Sad but true

    I cannot believe this cool bass still hasn't been snatched up. Made in SoCal, in great condition, at a fair price, and with the tone control that some people miss on the SB-2. The jazz nut width is the only thing keeping me from buying this amazing bass myself. GLWTS 👍

    Can someone please, please buy this bass? I cannot justify buying yet another Spector but I am getting tempted 😉 BTW, here is the man himself telling you all you need to know about this great bass. Check it out! GLWTS 👍

    Yes, a great bass and a great collector's item too! PJ Rubal says a bit more about the background of the 77 here: PJ Rubal's Vintage Spector Collection

    Well, maybe they got the date wrong. They would not be the first: VW 'sorry' for early April Fool's Day Voltswagen PR stunt | Business News | Sky News

    Today, I received a nice Fender Boxer PJ from Dan. The whole transaction was very smooth and super fast. I was especially impressed by how Dan packed the bass in not one but two boxes (!) using lots of bubble wrap and other packing material. Great stuff. Thanks again, Dan 👍

    Cool Thread. Well, on "Have I got news for you", this one would be the "odd one out" as it is not a song about dentistry but sung by a trained dentist 😎

    I checked some LXs and found the necks too chunky. Last year, I ordered the Fishman Fluence LT and that one had a chunky neck too. I sold it. My 77 LE has a nice thin neck and my Mike Starr has a neck somewhere between the 77 and the LX and LT. For my Fortes, I asked for the thin neck specs which they also do for the Ian Hill model.
  22. Eldon Tyrell
    Yes, definitely looks much better. I did not notice any difference in tone or depth. The 77 has so much oomph that even if the new bridge were to have a bit less oomph, it would still have so much oomph that I would not notice any drop in oomph, d'you know what I mean?
  23. Eldon Tyrell
    Well, what can I say. I think we discussed this "special" edition earlier in this thread. They are only making 25 4-string and 25 5-string. Let's see if there are that many squid lovers out there. Maybe they should market it as this bloke's signature bass 😉
  24. Eldon Tyrell
    I agree, looks cool but I don't think the boot will fit on the Spector though.
