In my limited pool of basses:
Squire P Bass - Awful (long since sold)
Spector Legend 4 - Fine
Yamaha RBX270F - Fine -
I'm sure I read in one of the interviews that Chris mentioned it was a small (relatively) factory on the Korean side of the Korea/China border. Right so where's my atlas as I have no idea if that rules S Korea in or out.
Can't imagine it's NK though or I'm sure it would have had a cameo mention in Team America
I too am seduced by the darkside and am GASing for a Contemporary J4 in black trans. -
I've had my Spector Legend 4 for going on 5 years now; my "go to" bass for sure. Also my fretless RBX270 has been with me for about 3 years although upgraded pickups and bridge plus change from VBT to VVT happened at Christmas.

Me too, although I'd quite like to know what other finishes are available. I'd quite like one in a natural finish. -
[quote name='sime17' post='1132812' date='Feb 18 2011, 09:35 PM']I still want to see someone stocking these Tanglewaters/Overwoods to see what they're like in the hand.[/quote]
Me too. I phoned Overwater this week and was in contact with what I suspect will be my nearest dealer but news and dates are all very vague. Shame really, a lot of noise but a bit lacking in follow up. Personally getting a bit fed up. -
[quote name='Bilbo' post='1114048' date='Feb 3 2011, 04:03 PM']Actually, major thirds on fretted instruments are generally off[/quote]
I believe this to be the case. I find a major 3rd on my fretless sounds better when the 3rd in question slightly flattened and vice versa for the minor 3rd. -
First bass: Squire P Bass
Go to bass: Spector Legend 4
My bass: Yamaha RBX270 F/L -
Here are some additional pictures:

Just managed 2.59, and am now compelled to keep going. Love the lowest ranking category description
-
Anybody want to make me an offer?
-
Thanks for the guidance people and for putting up with the daft questions.
One last question if I may; what effect does a series/parallel switch for the pickup have on this setup. -
Cheers. It's a real wrench as I saved & saved to buy it, but family and mortgage sadly come first
-
PM'ed

Thanks for your cheeky offer but I think I may have a buyer at £1,250 but not counting any poultry just yet
-
I've done a similar thing to my RBX270FL. Only difference is I went for a Wilkinson type bridge, SD vintage style PJ pups, rewired to VVT (was VBT), new jack socket and some new flat wound D'Addario strings. Overall cost was £260 as my bass was £90 (evilbay) and the Sd's were a bit more expensive.
Really please with the result, the VVT is particularly pleasant
Pic for your delectation:

We play a mix of original material and covers in (predominantly) the Burnely area. We choose to play once or twice a month max and so far so good this year. We used to get £150 on average, but now it's dropped to C £100
-
Is there a material difference between an MM and a Humbucker?
