I cordially invite you all to make me an offer on this fantastic plum machine.

Baaahmp!!

Well judging by the way things are going on here at the moment I may have been a little optimistic with my original price... I need this gone really so I'll drop the price to... [b]£700.[/b] I'd call that a bargain... The best I ever had.

Bump.

A nice 'make me an offer' bump.

Bump.

Never heard of CJM, but that looks veeeerry nice... Inspired by the Ibanez BTB by the look of it. God bless Cash Converters! All I got was a BC Rich Ironbird!

[quote name='cetera' post='1334928' date='Aug 10 2011, 01:07 PM']Beautiful! Have a free bump! If that's a solid maple Euro 4 then this is as close to a full US NS2 as you can get.... What preamp is in it? Could be an Aguilar - check inside![/quote] Had a look - it's a Tonepump. I probably should put that in the OP... Thanks for the reminder!

[quote name='Beedster' post='1335045' date='Aug 10 2011, 02:15 PM']Re tone circuitry, I thinking of buying a VTC for my 4001 c64, it's the only thing that I could do to improve it. Please don't tell anyone on RicResource [/quote] Does that have a horseshoe pickup? I always assumed they had the tone cap as they are generally considered the holy grail of Rick tone. Does it sound like a standard 4003 then? I spent a bit of time snooping around the bass forum on the official rickenbacker site - they don't take too kindly to Fender talk! Unless you're being critical of course. It was a scary place to be.

[quote name='Stag' post='1335000' date='Aug 10 2011, 01:44 PM']The V/T circuit is a "nice to have" as well - I dont have it on my 4001 as it didnt exist then, and I would have used it clanking out some Purple riffage back in the day![/quote] It should be called the Glover switch. I usually have my Line 6 on the Marshall Superbass setting, and it sounds fantastically like the old Purple sound - all that's missing is the big speaker fart whenever I hit the open E. Stag and Beedster, I think you're convincing me that I'll regret getting rid of this. For now, WITHDRAWN. Coming soon, in the BC For Sale section, loads of effects pedals and an Orange combo amp!

Bumpe.

B'ump.

I've only owned this beauty for a few months and I'm coming to the conclusion that I'm really a passive kind of chap after all. So I thought I would put it on here and see what happens. The bass in question is a Spector Euro 4, in excellent condition bar a few [i]extremely[/i] minor marks to the body, two on the back and a couple around the lower edge of the body*. I've always lusted after one of these basses, being a bit of an Eddie Jackson/Rex Brown fan, and this one has 'the' Spector trademark tone in spades - I call it sledgehammer growl. It can do a lot more than this of course, but it's calling card is this wonderfully aggressive raunchy sound, all courtesy of the Tonepump circuit. But as I say, I'm really more into the passive, dirty old school sound so the poor Spector is just sitting about getting lonely. Oh, just remembered - the original owner decided to relocate the lower strap button to the centre of the body for some unknown reason. THe person I bought it from had it restored to the original position and filled the hole - even matched the colour. This is only really noticable if you look for it - I took a picture so see for yourselves. Well I think that's about it... I'm looking for about [b]£650 [/b]but am open to offers. Collection preferable but could arrange a courier for about £15. And please feel free to ask any questions, I'm always open.

The Gallery's response was a bit shocking.

[quote name='The Twickerman' post='1332706' date='Aug 8 2011, 08:32 PM']Pictures please!!![/quote] They're coming, fear not. Just waiting for a bit of sunshine. It looks just like the one in your profile pic.

Withdrawn.

If I were anywhere near Bristol I would buy it purely for the 'custom' finish.

[quote name='garethox' post='1313652' date='Jul 23 2011, 11:19 AM']. I am definately not bored of how she looks or plays, it is quite simply the greatest bass I have ever played and the fact it was The Ox's is a huge thrill every time I pick her up.[/quote] I think you should hang on to it. There are few basses that can be considered utterly unique and irreplacable, and you've got one there.
