    [b]NOW SOLD[/b] Well good evening everyone! I have only just acquired this bass but almost instantly realised I DO NOT GET ON WITH 5 STRINGS! Will I ever learn? Probably not. Anyway, this is one of the early Korean Spectors, a precursor to the contemporary Legend series but far superior in my opinion. The bass is in near-perfect condition, only one very minor scratch on the upper edge of the body, too small to catch in the photos. Neck totally clean. Tone-wise, it's Spector all the way - thick bass, great sustain and loads of growl. The B is excellent. Pickups are EMG HZ with an active EMG BTS preamp. Through-neck body construction - all maple I believe - with the Spector ergonomic curved body. Price is £280. No trades at the moment thanks. Collection preferred, can deliver within reason or arrange a courier at buyer's expense.

    [quote name='DaveFry' timestamp='1358209747' post='1935082'] I used to work with a guitarist/arranger who saw the Beach Boys tour early '65 . Glen Campbell was filling in for Brian Wilson playing bass and singing the falsetto harmonies at the same time . Respect ! [/quote] Interesting quote from Mr Campbell about that period in his life - "I'm not a bass player. I can play bass but I'm not a bass player".

    [quote name='dudewheresmybass' timestamp='1358464988' post='1939936'] Thanks for posting- but I think this one is not gonna work for me. Not hugely pleasant to my ears. Mind you his clean tone wasn't great either imo [/quote] This.Saying that though, nearly every distortion pedal I own has a rubbish demo on Youtube, so this one could still be a winner!

    I always saw him as more of a percussion player that happened to use a bass. His style is as dependant on muted percussive slapping as it is on actual notes. It's a style and sound I don't like at all, but to Fieldy's credit, it worked extremely well for Korn and inspired a hell of a lot of kids to pick up a bass. As an amusing side note, I once ordered a copy of his legendary solo album 'Fieldy's Dreams', to see if it was as awful as it reputation would suggest (it's worse). Not only did it cost me 1p new, the seller sent me two copies and a radio promo disc. Seems he couldn't get rid of them quick enough.

    [quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1358514888' post='1940590'] But sold it again as I didn`t use it in a band, and was far too good a bass to be sat in a case. Probably regret selling that one more than any other instrument I`ve moved on. [/quote] My predicament entirely. A very regrettable sale. Fortunately, the current Squier version is excellent!

    Looks great... Reckon it will be pretty pricey though. You can pick up original SB Elites for very reasonable prices these days. I had one for a while, it was excellent. Wish I still had it really.

    [quote name='jude_b' timestamp='1358364895' post='1937950'] When I searched YouTube to check, the definitive version of You've Lost That Loving Feeling by Paul Shane came up, which I'd forgotten about. So it hasn't been entirely in vain. Thanks again. [/quote] Baby baBEH!

    From personal experience... Fender Precision - Ashdown ABM Spector - Gallien Krueger

    [quote name='Big_Stu' timestamp='1358034471' post='1932305'] As in - the exact same copy duplicated, or two models of bass so similar that the reviews more or less read the same? If it's the former then that's unforgiveable, & a massive breakdown in QC. An odd para yes, but a whole article? [/quote] The former!

    Two identical reviews of a Fender acoustic bass in this month's issue...

    [quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1357913804' post='1930499'] There are loads of photos of real basses. You just have to click past the silhouettes. [/quote] I see... It doesn't seem to work for me at work, I'll have a look later when I get home. Apologies to Mr Greben for calling your website daft.

    [quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1357909651' post='1930379'] Would be nice to be able to see some real basses..I'm sure that they do make some really nice stuff.. [/quote] There are a few pics in the 'For Sale' link. Agree though, it seems daft not to have real pics on the actual website! Some intriguing shapes going on there.

    [quote name='cocco' timestamp='1357550297' post='1924171'] I'd buy one of these in a second if it had a P width neck. [/quote] This.
  22. Cosmo Valdemar
    I may be wrong, but I imagine 'back in the day' if you wanted any sort of hi-fi system it would be comprised of large separate components becuase that was the only option, regardless of your concerns about sound quality.

    [quote name='Mudpup' timestamp='1357218957' post='1919223'] Yup Cosmo, that's the one. Jazz body, Jazz neck with dots, twin overwound P pickups, VVT controls and lovely shiny black finish. Its a real floorshaking growl monster - the front pup sounds like a precision and the bridge pup is a super beefy jazz on steroids. Can't wait to gig it next weekend. Pics later today. [/quote] I used to have a BC Rich with the twin P pickups. I'm amazed more basses don't have it, it's a fantastic pairing! It's clear why Entwistle was so enamoured.

    [quote name='Mudpup' timestamp='1357162475' post='1918562'] Back to Wunjos and Tom sorted out a great deal on a Fender Blacktop Jazz with a case and some spare strings. The bass is fantastic - pure growl and grunt - and the whole experience was brilliant. [/quote] Sounds like a bit of me! Is that the one with the twin P pickups?

    Bump. Blacula, Bump! And a smashing new price to boot. All offers entertained.
