    Looking at that lineup, I can barely contain my apathy. Ye gods, what a snoozefest.

    Gold bridge, subtle black EMG control knobs as per the top range Spectors, and other little details - gold screws for the TRC and back plate, etc. And a good elbow-grease going-over with T-cut and polish.

    I've just seen the price of them, and am going to go & make a coffee specifically to spit out Joking aside, I'm an Elixir fan so I'm used to spending big money on strings (albeit only every 18 months or so!). I've no doubt they'd look amazing, but I'll stick with my regular Elixirs I think. I've a part worn set I'll throw onto it for the time being.

    I think this has decided it. Gold it is.

    It is indeed a bolt-on. Ta for the correction

    Deed is done... black bridge on its way back and a gold one on order.
  8. Rich
    This, I like.

    Yes, this is what I was thinking. I'm not big on the stealth thing TBH. Like you, I'm not normally much of a fan of gold, but it does go really well with some colours -- for me, red and black are the two that it really suits.

    @Dov65 here 'tis. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/371949328025?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=009VOmD9RYS&sssrc=2047675&ssuid=P69nGy5vTbG&var=640897915997&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

    Arrived in need of a bridge saddle (in truth, a whole new bridge wouldn't hurt... see below), strings and a proper clean-up, and those tuners want straightening too. A few hours later, the hardware's off and it's an awful lot cleaner, and the battery (which was dated 2009 ) is in the bin, and now it's got me thinking... do I stick with black bridge & tuners, or change? Don't want chrome, but maybe nickel? Or even gold, for a bit of a JPS Lotus vibe? There's a black bridge in the mail, but I can always return it and get a different one.

    Just scored a Spector Q4 on eBay for £102.

      I don't know yet -- picking it up today.

      @Marc S to answer your question, yes it sounds faaaar more expensive than 102 quid. Really superb tone... smooth lows and crisp glassy highs, and lots of power. I still can't believe my luck, a Spector for the price of an Encore.

      Nice @Rich

      They do look good, as I said.

      Its great when something like this happens. Result indeed

    Anthony Jackson plays sitting down, and always has. I know it's not very rock'n'roll, but if it's good enough for him... I bet that shower will feel like absolutely the best thing ever. Fantastic news all round.

    Another vote for John Giblin here.

    Looking back through the last four pages, I can only conclude that when you said "discuss" what you actually meant was "agree with me or else".

    We only need one Nick Beggs thread really.

      Wahey, I was at that gig too! What an odd place for them to play, but a storming set!

      Love JTQ.
      I think the best time I saw them was at the Cardiff music festival about 20 years ago. They played during a thunder storm. Thunder, lightning, torrential rain and Acid Jazz. It was awesome.

    Chris bought my old Comfort Strapp, and made a very generous donation to a charity close to my heart. Thanks mate, much appreciated.

    This is a proper veteran, it's been round the block many, many times. I've probably had it for 20 years or more and, well, it sort of shows. Scruffy as heck, but it still works. It's the Long (38"-45", 96-114cm) version; the button holes were enlarged to take Schaller straplocks (see pic) and, having heard a few horror stories about the plastic buckles failing, I reinforced all the buckles with cable ties (also see pic). They'd do as an emergency measure long enough to stop your bass from hitting the floor. So yeah, it's v.scruffy, but it would do as a spare. Bass Direct want £36 for a new one of these, this is yours for just a couple of quid for postage. Plus if possible, please drop a fiver into a charity box some time -- ideally an Alzheimers/dementia charity, but I'll leave the choice to you.

    Bought James' Minotaur strap, arrived quickly and was in better condition than he'd described. Proper bargain, many thanks James. You're a gent.
