No Spector and unfortunately no 20th anniversary EBMM Bongo either 😞

To cut a long story short (my song reference of the day ;- ), here is a link to a thread (20 pages!) showing "every bass" at NAMM 2023. Enjoy 😎 https://www.talkbass.com/threads/wintremute-s-namm-2023-every-bass-thread.1603651/

Dan bought my Fender P today. The whole transaction was super fast. Dan even drove over on a Sunday afternoon to test the bass and pay me immediately. Pretty much a perfect sales transaction. Thanks again, Dan. Cool stuff. Hope you will enjoy your new P 👍

Would make sense as Rio was released in 82, so it makes sense to limit the Rio bass to 82 pieces. There is no 82 connection to the other finishes.

@Gramskirecently bought my Aftershock bass distortion pedal. The whole transaction was super smooth and I received payment literally within a minute. Very impressive👍 Thank you Graham. Hope you will enjoy your new pedal!

Candy Apple Purple? Sounds cool. I first thought you had made it up but guess what, there IS a bass in that colour - The 2020 Rickenbacker 4003 Candy Apple Purple Limited Edition and now I know who came up with the name 😉 "We are excited to introduce our new 2020 Rickenbacker Fab Gear Limited Edition Candy Apple Purple 4003 Model Bass. This is a Fab Gear exclusive, a limited edition run of only 30 numbered basses are being made for us. The stunning new Candy Apple Purple finish was inspired by the late 60’s Mopar muscle car color Plum Crazy Purple, a fabulous color Rickenbacker has never before issued, and is an exclusive for Andy Babiuk’s Fab Gear! We worked directly with our good friends at Rickenbacker, to design this super cool, limited-edition bass, and chose some ultra-cool specs like: checkerboard binding, vintage knobs, vintage nameplate, vintage toaster pickup in the neck, and more!"

Also note that it says April 13 in the ad, which happens to be the first day of NAMM. So, we could be in for some more announcements in a week's time.

Thanks. Interesting video. However, Sheldon got some details wrong. Rio was Duran Duran’s second album, not their first (that was “Duran Duran”, released a year earlier in 1981). Second, John Taylor was not 17 when he recorded his basslines for Rio but 21 ½. Third, Queen Elizabeth II did not “have a Neve PA system” but Rupert Neve “provided public address for Princess (later Queen) Elizabeth II at the reopening of St Andrews church” (see Rupert Neve Designs website).

Anth just bought my GHS strings (flats and pressurewound). Transaction was super smooth and I received payment literally within a minute. Great stuff 👍

I've seen the future, brother It is murder

More importantly, Ernie has been dead for nearly 20 years!

Yes, he can be whacky at times, his claw shtick is a bit lame, and his fashion "taste" is, well, questionable to say it politely. However, I do like his reviews as they are proper "reviews" (he is not getting paid for them and he sometimes does rate basses lowly, just check out his videos on the Fender Gold Foil Jazz Bass (no claws out of 5) and the G&L Placentia JB (1 claw out of 5)) and not, more or less, concealed gear demos like what we get from most of these YT clowns ("Hey, I got this amazing (insert any random bass/pedal/amp of the week) that you have to check out. It's awesome, the best ever, you cannot live without it, your life will never be the same again (enter any other effxxx hyperbole)!") 😎
