  1. I've been following this and other Spector threads with my Spector GAS snowballing! Chatting to Alan, John and others it seems like the whole package in terms of Eronomics, tone and build quality is just what I'm after. A Warwick style NT in a quality that Warwick I think have lost. Despair, the reasonable prices of late with Sound Control going down have all shot up to between £898 and £1099 Then, courtesy of Sean I was pointed towards a Black Cherry EuroLX4 and although it was priced initially at £899 a double check revealed the correct price to be £599. Guess what? Wednesday.
  2. [quote]is it the right time to ask that newbies shouldnt be aloud to post threads in the for sales forums yet???[/quote] I can sympathise with Ped if this sort of comment makes him feel like jumping through the nearest window. This has been done to absolute death and you know that Kev. Peter
  3. It's worth remembering that neither EBS or I suspect EBBM actually make strings.
  4. There was a movie with this scenario in and I can't for the life of me remember the title. Hmmm...
  5. Just popped in and yes me too
  6. Divide £250.50p by 50p and you might Someone remind me of the movie?
  7. Yes. It was mine and was bought by another BCer.
  8. Dave purchased my EBS Microbass II and was a total star! Peter
  9. The best man to ask always is the man himself. Alan is a very nice guy. Happy to chat about such things. Here's his website with models and contact details as well as build diaries for every instrument he's made: [url="http://www.acguitars.co.uk/Specs/"]http://www.acguitars.co.uk/Specs/[/url] Basically the deepest part of the neck is slightly above the centreline and it allows for the shape of the hand better.

  10. The assymetric neck is a subtle feature that help with assymetric hands imo i.e. we all have assymetric hands. I'm more of a Harlot man myself and the balance seated or standing is just ace. My new Harlot is in it's final stages and I'm in Kendal. Peter
  11. All gone
  12. I thought the term 'choke' was just an Americanism for a simple componant? A resistor?
  13. Good point Trev. Maybe we needed that reminder that there are guys that might not be as elequent as others in terms of forums/the written word but who are mighty fine bassists and people nevertheless. Hope the deal sorts itself. Peter
  14. I am in the process of putting my 1st rack together at the moment. I admit it I'm a tart with a rack. It's a Boschma 3U with the DTR2000 on top LMII in the middle and when it arrives a dbx166XL compressor in the lower slot. It's a case (no pun intended) of arriving with 3 boxes, 2 x Aggie GS112's, and the Boschma with all the leads tucked in. I makes lugging stuff around so much easier and the likelyness of forgetting something less. It also looks good, the No 1 reason Personally if I see musicians checking their tuning twixt numbers I see it as a part of the process of ensuring they sound good and care.
  15. B3125 - 90, well it's close! I really did think it was a 91. Either that or it's ageing well
  16. The amp in question in my 'trial' was a Markbass LMII. A tuner 'out' with no mute button and no variable % for the FX loop.
  17. I have a 91 NT Thumb and they are truly superb basses. Great neck, no neck dive, growly tone, active & passive, quality construction and beautiful to boot. Not at all expensive for what it is imo. Bump
  18. What he said. Very interested
  19. Ever jump in with both feet and then re-read the original post and think - Doh? I've just tried looping the tuner thru the FX loop and using the tuner mute (on the 1000 too) and although it attenuates the signal it doesn't kill it, sorry
  20. Aha you need a DTR2000 One came with the postie this weeks. Great tuner. Got it for £129 delivered too.
  21. Just as well I've got one as you drive past my door! Beautiful.
  22. Is Grace Jones really 60!
  23. Lovely looking bass Aandra. Bonnie wee lassie too even if she looks a bit dour. Must be a Helensburgh maid?
  24. I would agree with that. I've a single one on my Warmoth and initially I wasn't so sure but now it's my No. 1 bass. Very wide frequency band imo.
  25. Very nice. [quote]Nux bars[/quote] ? Now you've got me, and I AM old. Did some googling and it seems they were introduced by Rowntrees in the 50's and never really caught on.
