  1. Having a few wobbles about letting this go……. Played it last night, and this morning. Lush! Though it will remain a case queen, it is lovely to own, and to play, whenever I want to. Not sure if this will be one of those “regret selling” basses. Have to make up my mind, and soon 🤔
  2. If one cannot find the right light, then options to “highlight” certain aspects, act as an aid. We are not all blessed to live in sunny climes to capture the perfect shot. If anyone wants specific pictures in a certain light, they only need to ask. I hope that answers your question. Take care. Cheers 👋🏻
  3. No sure what you mean 🤔 But there is a limit to the amount of photos that can be added, and if anyone requires more detailed pictures, most people just ask instead of posting a vague question. Cheers ☺️
  4. The time has come to move on my beautiful 2021 US Spector gloss finished Forte 4 in Nightshade. I have loved this bass, and my Spector adventures, but I’m way too scared to use it in anger, so it has mainly remained in the case. This is in brand new condition and a real case queen. It even has the clear film still on the back plate. There is not a single mark on it, and the case is equally as clean. The tools come in a beautiful leather carry pouch, and the COA has been kept in an envelope. This bass is stunning. It has that punch, that growl when pushed, and a beautiful balanced sound across all strings. The combination of the EMGX pickups and the Aguilar OBP-2 pre amp is a winning combination for me. The action is set very low, the neck is super straight, and weighs around 7lbs so, very light. It comes with a new set of LaBella stainless steel 45-105 strings. Everything about this bass is perfect. So why am I selling? I’m doing a build in my studio, and I need to get some extra funds in to complete said build, plus I’m too scared to use it in anger as already mentioned. As I’m not a collector, I hate instruments sitting around doing nothing when the money in them will be of use. A new Czech Spector CST bass is selling for £2600, and if you can get a US built, gloss finish Forte, you won’t see much change from £4000, so at this price, my bass is a real steal. You will get a custom US bass for less than Czech CST prices. Happy to deliver at buyers expense, but would prefer collection for obvious reasons. Happy to also meet within a reasonable distance of Cardiff. Any questions, please ask. Cash on collection or bank transfer, only. No PayPal. Cheers 🌟 PS The price is firm. If this doesn’t sell, I will put it up for commission sale which means you would buy this bass for more that I’m selling it here.
  5. Thank you my friend, muchly appreciated as always. Look forward to seeing that new vanity unit in due course 👀😂
  6. A really good watch. I do think Ian Martin Allison is amazing.
  7. Full disclosure, the case has been sold separately, so this now will come with a new Gator Pro gig bag. Cheers ☺️
  8. Thanks so much, buddy. Really appreciate that. Means a lot 🙏🏻
  9. I like the idea of a BadAss bridge. Nice. That price though……..
  10. Thank you my friend. Appreciate the kind words 🙏🏻
  11. Price drop to £1275.00 and including a full flight case worth £100.00 🫡
  12. Photos now added. Hope that helps. Cheers ☺️
  13. I will sort that out for you in 5 minutes. I meant to take a picture today, but work took over. On it now. Cheers ☺️
  14. Here is my very recently purchased Spector Ethos 4 in the most beautiful colour, Plum Crazy. This has only been used a handful of times at home. Only selling as I have bought another bass from a member of this shire and I have a strict policy of one in, one out. This is setup beautifully with a brand new set of LaBella stainless steel strings (45-105), plays like a dream, sounds amazing, and feels incredible. Thru neck design, brass nut, Ebony board, 12th fret inlay, Luminlay side dot markers, Darkglass Tone Capsule preamp, EMG pickups, and super low action. No scratches, dinks or dents. Comes with the original box as these don’t come with a gig bag. I have a new Gator Pro gig bag that I will sell for an additional £75.00 This bass is in brand new condition. It came direct from the distributor and has never spent anytime in a shop for others to play. It cost me £1575.00, so this is a real deal/bargain. Can post at buyers expense and risk, or will meet within a reasonable distance. Collection from Cowbridge, near Cardiff/Bridgend/Swansea, available. Bank transfer or cash on collection only, please ☺️ PS - Please don’t ask me what it weighs as I have no idea, and I have no way of weighing it, but it doesn’t feel massively heavy to me 🫡
  15. I just bought a Roger Glover Vigier from Rhys. I can’t tell you how happy I am. We are one for one now, as he bought an Excess 5 off me back in 2021. An absolute legend, top bloke, great player and all round bass geek, likes all. Deal with complete confidence. A trusted guy, and very thankful for his friendship. Cheers, mate ☺️🙏🏻
  16. Oh my, that is so beautiful. I wish. If I hadn’t bought my Spector Ethos, 2 months ago, and this was available then, I would have gone for this. Would really love to own another Vigier. Hope you are well, and the very best of luck with the sale. Cheers 🫡
  17. Deleted also 🫡
  18. Oh they really do look awful. Can’t get my head around the paint job/finishing. It looks like someone started something and then changed their mind half way through. Hey, if it makes someone happy, then Spector have done their job, but if that turned up on my doorstep, it would go straight back. I hope they play/sound better than they look, which I’m positive they do.
  19. Really not liking these so much, and the price is crazy, in my opinion. Get a Pulse II or Ethos or save up for the real deal. Nice to see Spector trying things out, though.
  20. Thank you for the info 🫡
  21. This isn’t one of the Chinese made ones that were just released. I think these were full fat Canadian built ones, introduced when the JT collab was first announced. Happy to be corrected of course. Either way, they did a limited run and are very cool 😎
  22. Clearly, and obviously. Was just being a little flippant 🫡
  23. Thank you. I’ve been a loyal member for many many years, sold many items without issue, and bought items without issue. My profile status shows my loyalty, so to pay more for extra advice seems a little odd. What do I need to do to prove I am legit here? Surely my continued support, both monetarily and with my interaction, should allow me to ask a simple question. Far from democratic. Anyway, getting the bigger picture. Thanks again. Cheers 🫡
