    Good point - usually get great service. I went home to check and found it was still for sale. Then I should just have 'bought' it but didn't want the hassle of reclaiming my dosh if it had gone. Not to be ….

    What a deal! I work in Inverclyde and live in Paisley - if you ever need help delivering up river give me a shout!

    Game over Thanks to all!!

    Big thank to to the many on here who helped on my other thread. In the end, I bought a Spector Legend after a wee haggle with Kenny's Music in Glasgow. Very impressed with their service after my experience at Guitar Guitar where I went in to buy a bass they said had been sold when it hadn't - wee bit of insider trading? Anyway, went in to look at their Spector NT Walnut and it was a thing of beauty with a great neck. This being said, it had a small electrical issue and so I tried... Spector Legend Custom NT Walnut Spector Legend Classic Tobacco Stain Fender Player PF Precision in Silver Fender Jazz Vintera in Gold To be honest, the last three impressed me immediately. I was surprised at how much I liked the Vintera neck and the Precision sounded like a Precision! I eventually chose the Spector because it was more versatile, had a lovely growl when required and a tone boost. The cheaper price saved me at least £200 too and being stingy this helped. Now, I usually get a No 1 or 2 haircut, but Spector provide some useful accessories including a cheap lead (don't bother Stuart!), some Allen Keys (have I lost them already?) and a haircut guide. According to their chart, I'm not allowed to play their bass in public until July. Hey ho!

    One of the few (recorded) live shows and it gets panned. Each to their own. I tend to pop in and out depending on who is playing. Loved Dakota...timeless live song. Don’t like Stormzy....but that’s a taste issue, he doesn’t need validation from me. Funnily, the highlight was Perfect by Mad Eddie.

    Paul No apology required. I found your contributions informative and I thank you for them. I hope mine didn’t seem snarky....if it did, I’m sorry. Too many good hearted people on here!

    Wow Paul! That’s beautiful. I play small gigs about every 3 months. If I was doing more frequent paying gigs like I did years ago I’d splash out/invest in something special. Unfortunately, I’m in noodle mode playing wise just now but thank you for showing me that.

    Like most beauties....beyond me. Did you not have a ReBop?

    Glesgae mate....was ready to spend. edit...the walnut is in Kenny’s Music on Jamaica St!

    Cheers, Up in Scotland though....! One local music shop has a walnut NT at £800. Guitar Guitar has a Lakland sale...I actually went in to buy one at the weekend and they said it was sold. Went home and it was still in stock but moved to another store. whizzed me off! There’s a lovely gloss walnut Legend around too. GAS confusion!

    One of the most beautiful bits of wood ever!
  13. merello
    More photos please. I’ve went all Dr Hook looking at that!

    Really hankering after a decent “budget” Lakland, I mean Spector. Tried the DJ in Guitar Guitar and the neck was brilliant. Reading a lot about the better Spector Legends. Any thoughts?

    On a similar theme, I watched the Dolly Glasgow (edit.... Glastonbury!) set the other day. The bass player seemed to have a double P-pick up Sadowsky. Did some research and found her bass player is now a Spector player. I think over here we tend to be more in our silos. When I watch gospel or country players in Nashville they seem to be more open minded. Edit...Dave Fowler be his name.

    If you don’t play “The Real Me” at full blast you’re an imposter! 😎

    Very interesting. Would love to hear it A/B’d against a P bass.
  22. merello
    Wait....are you selling stingrays or thunderbirds?🥳
  23. merello
    The daylight photos are stunning. Never thought about one of these before. I’m not in the buying market just now...after a Christmas I will be but this doesn’t deserve to hang around till then. GLWTS
