I’m already machinegunning the audience in my head! 😂

Snap 😂 Going to bring out my modded SH P bass tomorrow to satisfy that need 😃

Don’t need it. Want it! FFS! #SteveHarris 

Soooooo tempted……. I want another 6’er for a future project that I know is happening, but not sure if 1) I need to buy one right now or 2) I go all out and buy a new Spector Pulse II 6. Either way, I will want to change the pre and pups on both. Leave it with me 🫣

May I just say, I’ve been here since 2009 and in that time, I’ve met some amazing people with quite a few becoming firm friends. I’ve bought great gear here without any hassle, sold gear without any hassle, and engaged in great conversations about all things bass. What a great space to share with so many likeminded folk. Thanks to all who frequent this place. 
 

I just wanted to acknowledge how valuable this place is. Cheers ☺️

Very nice ☺️

That is bloody lovely. Always wanted one, along with a Jackson, in my formative years. Still look ace. GLWTS ☺️

The emergence of class D heads had me very excited! 800 watts in small box light box. No more lugging around huge transformers, great!

 

Except apart from the easy carry the rest of the story has been pretty erm stinky poo!!

 

Despite 8 years, five heads and every Eq patten under the sun. I simply cannot get on with the sound at volume. 😬

 

I”ve tried TC Electronics (BH 550) Tech 21 (VT) Markbass (Tube 800) and finally Mesa Boogie (D800) and no matter if you put a valve in front of them, a compressor before them, a neo or a ceramic speaker from them, or summon a religious cult behind them. They sound too direct at volume to my ears.

 

I tried, but I’m going back to my Class A/B happy place! 😊

I felt the same for a while, too. I’ve been through a load of them and one tried a full Ampeg SVT II rig. The difference was frightening, so was the size, and weight issues 😂 I took a punt on an Aguilar ToneHammer 500, and initial playing about left me cold, but some research, advice and persistence led me to believe that I may have found something that actually works. If this fails, which I don’t think it will, and go all our IEM because the prospect of going back to huge, heavy rigs is just not an option. 

You would just need to look at the neck relief, and of course either change the nut, or get a tech guy to “refashion” the slits to accommodate the string width, depending on current gauge, tension, and type of string. I’m a perfectionist, so I’d want every aspect covered. That’s just me. Either way, try it and if things aren’t right for you, it shouldn’t be too much hassle in the hands of the right person. I can point you in the right direction if you want some help. 

That is just lovely. I wanted this 1st time around. If it wasn’t for the fact I’m buying a guitar for the studio, I’d buy this now. GLWTS ☺️

Just arrived! This new NS Pulse II looks, feels and sounds awesome... the roasted maple neck & ebony board are lush! They've really nailed it with this model...👍🎸😎
Here are before & after inlay sticker application photos....
Looking forward to giving it a full run out through the GK800RB tonight!😀

That looks very lovely. I do prefer it without the stickers, but it ain’t my bass 😉 Is the neck rounded like the Euro Bolts? Any chance of seeing the neck please? That colour is lush. Happy NBD ☺️

@Yan_Hurieyas we were discussing 😉

A pleasure doing business with you, buddy ☺️

Sold a Spector Euro Bolt 4 to Dave. A real pleasure to deal with. Great comms, easy to deal with, met me half way for delivery, and was just a great guy all round. Happy to deal with again. We have a top little community here. Trustworthy. Thanks Dave.

Oh my 😲 No other words 🥰

This is definitely my no.1 but it’s a close call to the other Forte 4 I recently bought. This just pips it to the post for personal reasons, looks, and neck depth. Either way, I’m a lucky man ☺️🙏🏻

Yes, it was mine. I'll send you a PM will all the info I've got. It is a special bass. I hope you will enjoy playing it 👍

Fantastic. I absolutely love it. Took to

Cool stuff. Your Thunder Child looks very familiar. Have you recently purchased it used from BD by chance?

Hi, yes, it was bought from BD a few weeks ago. Was it yours, previously?

All good bud!
Counting my pennies for some more Spector purchases

 

That’s what I like to hear. Good man ☺️

That purple one 'Stormbringer' is beautiful 😍

Gotta agree mate, just stunning, but Thunder Child has a real understated beauty. So uber happy with both. A total convert. 
 

How’s you mate? Doing well I hope. I may be back on FB again soon, so watch out 😂 The break has been so good, so we’ll see how long it lasts. 

For me, I have the best of both worlds. A satin Forte 4, and a gloss Forte 4. Both loaded with EMGx pups, both beautiful, both irreplaceable and both absolutely stunning to play. Spector all the way ☺️
 

PS If interested, I’ve named them (from left to right) Thunder Child and Stormbringer.

I have an eye on some needed studio gear, so if you fancy a beautiful bass at a great price, you will be doing both of us a huge favour ☺️

oooooooooh not your usual finish, but damn it works with that roasted.

Absolutely agree. A stunning bass and whoever takes this bass home, will be very happy indeed. Cheers ☺️

Can't believe this is still here.

Snap, but hopefully it’ll find a new home soon ☺️

That’s silly money for a Eurobolt with a Tone Pump upgrade! 
 

This won’t be around long! 

Thank you, buddy. This bass will make someone very happy, I know ☺️
