    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.

    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?

    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 😉

    I agree, looks cool but I don't think the boot will fit on the Spector though.

    Could be but I don't know to be honest.
  16. 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):
  17. Eldon Tyrell
    Man, that finish looks great. Fortunately (for my bank account), I do not play 5 string basses
  18. Eldon Tyrell
    The Euro 77. One of my fav basses. I can also confirm that it really is a P bass on steroids. GLWTS 👍
  19. 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
  20. 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 😎
  21. Eldon Tyrell
    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
  22. Eldon Tyrell
    I can recommend the D'Addario EXL 165.
  23. Eldon Tyrell
    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 🙂
  24. Eldon Tyrell
    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
  25. Eldon Tyrell
    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.
