    Sorry everyone. I've just realised that I cannot even count to 3 🥴
  2. Eldon Tyrell
    Here you go. I see a black bass and I want it painted red 😎

    The 77 really is amazing. Not only is the neck great but also the DiMarzio pickup has some serious oomph. What a killer sound. I think I mentioned in another thread that it is like a P bass on steroids. Definitely a keeper bass for me. Although, I also said that many times for other basses that are not with me anymore 😉
  4. Eldon Tyrell
    Yes, the 77 neck is slimmer than the Euro Mike Starr LE I have and a LT I had. I really like it. It feels great. I asked for a similar neck for my new Forte.
  5. Eldon Tyrell
    Cool, let me know how it worked out!
  6. Eldon Tyrell
    Maybe that works once but I have been there before 😎
  7. Eldon Tyrell
    Hahaha. Do you have some more advice? I already tried that one with my wife. Did not work though 😉
  8. Eldon Tyrell
    Yes, whoever buys your bass will bag him/herself a great bargain. Very, very tempting (could complement my white Euro) but I really need to get myself a Euro with either the EMG TW soapbar pickups or the Fishman Fluence ones (the Rudy Sarzo model coming in summer/autumn), so that I can replace the neck pickup with the Mike Inez FF Legacy pickup. Have to resist 😎

    I am quite confident that this Euro LTD has solid maple wings. Thomann and Sweetwater have them in stock (black gloss and chrome hardware) and it says "Body: Maple" (Thomann) and "Body Material: North American Maple" (Sweetwater). Sweetwater also has a table that shows that this bass is the only Euro with maple only. The others all have alder bodies and maple/poplar burl tops. https://www.thomann.de/gb/spector_euro_lx_4_sbg.htm?sid=46dba6a2be90dc251a0ba00394f8bf49 https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/EURO4BK--spector-euro4-solid-black-gloss

    I think it is LTD as it is one of the last available Euro LX in black with chrome hardware and solid maple wings. The latest LXs come in black cherry, trans black stain, poplar burl natural and black&blue. The new Euro 4 Classic comes in solid black but with weight-relieved maple wings, gold hardware and the EMG BTS preamp instead of the Tonepump. BD had the LTDs in black and white (4-string and 5-string). They all sold very quickly 🙂

    Cool bass. Maybe someone should tell Joe Dart and Jack Stratton about it 😎 GLWTS 👍
  12. Eldon Tyrell
    Wow. Stunning finish 👍
  13. Eldon Tyrell
    Now released on YouTube! Cannot wait for his signature bass to be released 😀
  14. Eldon Tyrell
    Wow. Stunning looking bass. GLWTS 👍

    I liked the video. I like Basstheworld in general. Gregor has some humour and the two bassists (Lars and Rene) who normally test gear are amazing (However, Ida in this video was of course great too.) The A4 Ultra Ash itself is on my watchlist. I am looking for a bass with Fishman fluence pickups and the Cort is a contender (I want to replace the neck pickup with the Fishman Fluence Mike Inez Legacy pickup and turn the bass in an AIC bass). The only issue I have, just from an aesthetic point of view, is the headstock design. Not so impressed by it. Looks like a piece got chopped off (maybe after hitting a crash cymbal) 😉

    Yes, definitely worth checking out. I once had a Legend Neck-Thru (NT), maple with bubinga top, matte finish. Looked and sounded great (Aguilar OBP 2 and Aguilar pickups). Great built quality too. Just a bit heavy and the neck was a bit too narrow for my taste. So, I sold it and bought a Euro instead.
  17. Eldon Tyrell
    Cool stuff. Found it on youtube! Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio.... Well, it made my wife dance in the living room 😉 I found the bass quite shiny, almost like a mirror. Well, my wife saw it and loved it. Got now permission to get one. So, all good and thank you, 2elliot 😎

    There was a thread on Bacchus basses earlier this month. They look pretty tempting. Must resist 😎
  19. Eldon Tyrell
    Good point. That's what I did. Got a Euro LE Mike Starr with solid maple wings (white gloss finish. I think most solid colour (white and black) Euro's have, or at least, had solid maple wings. The other LXs have a slice of walnut in the middle. Same is true for the LTs - Maple/Walnut/Alder) and had a Haz 9V installed. I don't have a NS 2 to compare it to, but I am confident it will be close. Killer tone and a true keeper. I am now trying to "replicate" it somehow for the NS4: Ordered a Forte 4 (with EMG DCX pickups and the Haz 18V. It will have a black stain matte finish and no crown inlays (so, kind of a "no frills" US Spector). Let's see how that will work out (again, I won't have a NS4 to compare it to though)
  20. Eldon Tyrell
    Uhhh, good I did not see those before buying my first Spector, which, ironically, was a white Euro LE 😎
  21. Eldon Tyrell
    Hmm, never really connected Spector with hair metal. For me it is the sound of Alice in Chains - Mike Starr and Mike Inez, the latter has both a Warwick Streamer I (moon burst finish, now "replicated" in his Fishman Fluence Legacy pickup) as well as a red Spector NS-2 (drop D tuning). Interestingly, he wears the same shirt as Rex Brown 🙂
  22. Eldon Tyrell
    Rex Brown - Legend! Now with Warwick though

    Sailing down, down the Styx again, Without you my love, I want to return but then, I see all my friends, they want me to join but then, They all melt away, without you alone.
  24. Eldon Tyrell
    Cool stuff. Golden bridge. Nice combination of gold/red/black. It lacks a knob (in comparison to the other photos). Does it have a stacked volume/tone pot?
  25. Eldon Tyrell
    Oh dear. Sorry to hear that. I would send it back.
