    Could be but I don't know to be honest.
  3. Eldon Tyrell
    Yeah, not cheap but I think it will look killer and maybe make the bass a bit lighter too (as it did for my 77):
  4. Eldon Tyrell
    Man, that finish looks great. Fortunately (for my bank account), I do not play 5 string basses
  5. Eldon Tyrell
    The Euro 77. One of my fav basses. I can also confirm that it really is a P bass on steroids. GLWTS 👍
  6. Eldon Tyrell
    Yes, Spector GAS is real and a very costly disease 😉 We will probably see even more Spector basses with Aguilar pickups now that Korg USA has bought them
  7. Eldon Tyrell
    Yeah, in an ideal world I would have bought them all. The amber one looked great too. I wonder if someone here on BC bought it. Lucky him/her 😎

    Yes, Mark is a cool dude. I have bought almost all my Spector basses there (and some others as well ; -) I have already bought three basses from him this year and it is still March 🤪 BTW, did you know that Mark played a role in the design of the Darkglass Tone Capsule? Sheldon is sharing the story in this video (09:20 onwards). Cool stuff

    I can recommend the D'Addario EXL 165.

    I like what I am seeing, especially the red LX. Believe it or not, a few years back I was very close to buying that bass at BD. It was between this one, a LX with an amber finish and the 77. I eventually went for the 77 but it was a close call. Enjoy 🙂

    Man, killer looking bass. When I see a black gloss Spector I immediately think of Mike Starr during the Facelift tour. I know, I have shared it before but I just cannot help myself 😉 Check out from 1:23

    Congrats. Great looking bass. As mentioned, I would check with Mark at Bass Direct. That's where I got my gold bridge and tuners from.
  13. Eldon Tyrell
    I agree with the others. It is a fair price but I would try to get the asking price down a bit. These Euros with the solid maple wings (instead of the alder/walnut/maple or burl sandwich) are rare and great. If you want gold hardware instead of the chrome one, then ask Mark at Bass Direct to get it for you. He did it for my Euro 77 as I prefer gold over chrome too. He had the tuners in stock and ordered the bridge for me. Finally, if you want your Euro to sound even closer to a NS-2, then replace the TP with the Haz 9V. BD has it in stock too. Enjoy!

    Spector fans! Hope you are all fine and staying safe. This showed up in my YT feed today. Cool limited run Spectors with Ziricote tops. I have never heard of that wood but I think it looks great. I really like what the Ish guys are doing. In the video, Jesse is playing a NS-5. However, I really dig the the Spectorbird with the pale moon ebony FB. 😍 Hope they'll make a video featuring that one too.

    The bass is not my cup of tea either but it has an interesting story:
  16. Eldon Tyrell
    Agree and then they should finally fix the wrong "boost only" info on the website too: Euro4 LX by Spector Bass Guitars CONTROLS Volume, Volume, Treble Boost, Bass Boost
  17. Eldon Tyrell
    Yes, the Haz 18V is in their NS4. I comes with three knobs instead of the usual four: volume, blend, and stacked bass and treble. I got it for one of my Fortes. The NS4 normally comes with two EMG 35DCx soapbars. I have two EMG 35P4x instead, so technically it is a double P bass now. Sounds pretty cool.
  18. Eldon Tyrell
    500th post for me!!! The Euro LX come with an alder/walnut/maple or poplar burl sandwich. Some LEs have solid maple wings (e.g. the Mike Starr Euro 4LX LE) and I think the Ian Hill sig bass has them too. The 1977 and 1979 LEs had solid walnut wings. You also got the the Euro LT with alder/figured maple and Bartolini pickups and Darkglass Tone Capsule preamp and the Euro Classic with weight-relieved maple wings, EMG pickups and EMG BTS preamp.
  19. Eldon Tyrell
    In which way? Do the knobs go to 11? Is it much, much smaller than a regular bass? Do you get lost with it on the way to the stage? Just curious (big Tap fan)
  20. Eldon Tyrell
    Maybe it was then @cetera, adding Spector bass nr 30 to the collection? 😁 Custom Forte: Alder Wings, black gloss finish, black hardware, EMG PJx, and Haz 9V. My no-frills NS-2 to complement my no-frills NS-4 (Forte with swamp ash wings, black matte finish, EMG DCx and Haz 18V). I know your feeling. Same here. The last time I collected stuff was back in the mid/late 80s (computer games for the C64 and Amiga home computers) 😎 I only have a few non- Spectors but really want an old school P bass with flats and a 2 EQ Stingray Classic with old rounds or flats for the Bernard Edwards vibes. Then I "should" be ok, well, we'll see 😉
  21. Eldon Tyrell
    Just saw Skyler Acord's signature bass on Spector's FB page. Well, what can I say, it immediately reminded me of someone 😉
  22. Eldon Tyrell
    Well, now it IS gone and it wasn't me. Man, I was really, really considering it. What a lovely piece of art but I have a custom Forte coming soon, so I would not have been able to justify it. I also still want my Motown and tribute to Bernard Edwards (Stingray Classic in natural with maple FB) basses. The former should not be a problem (but I want to see if Fender is going to release a 70th anniversary P bass (for the P bass - 1951-2021) model, so far they have only announced the 75th anniversary P and J models (for the Fender company itself 1946-2021)) but the latter is tricky, no one seems to be selling one 😥
  23. Eldon Tyrell
    Yeah, I always refer to my 77 as a P bass on steroids!
  24. Eldon Tyrell
    Yes, that's the problem. Some people don't judge (covering the whole spectrum from "not caring too much" to "hate") goods based on their quality but simply on where they come from. Sad but true.
  25. Eldon Tyrell
    I think we had this discussion before 🙂 I agree, crazy, crazy price and I doubt EBMM will sell many here and in the other countries where they go for similar money. For example, Thomann is charging £1,666 for the Special 4 HH in burnt apple (although, I doubt they will ever receive one, it always shows "in stock within X weeks, then, after some weeks, it starts again with .. 6-8 weeks) and for the new 4HH in raspberry burst (which I think is the replacement for the burnt apple), they want £2,399 (all without VAT, of course). I doubt anyone will pay the £700 extra. 😞
