$1000 marked down from $2100.

I am content with the pickups for now. They can get some nice crunch for slapping

[QUOTE=Crapdragoon]heh nice , action looks a bit high from that one pic though[/QUOTE]
Actually what attracted me to the bass was its playability, as in the action was really low and easy to play. I raised it a little, because I fingerpick fairly hard, but the action is one of my favorite parts about it.

edit- the action does look high in that one pic, its not though

I hate EMGs. I think they sound cheesy.

45-50 bucks on eBay. Thats how I got mine.

I actually like Spector 5's more than 4's, which is weird because I am a 4 string elistest. I found that their 5 necks feel like a slightly bigger 4 neck. The shae is the same.

Nice. I'm having trouble deciding between the Boss and Digitech bass distortions and this thing.

Spector 5s are cool. I like how they only use 35" for them. I dont like anything less for 5s

Hey all :wave:

Hey, neal.

What's up?

i got broadband and the response on this server os so sloooooooooow
can't wait gotta gooooooo

and those popups (especially the duck one) i got all firewalls and blocks and security locks to the max and i still get em so bad it hangs my IE.

oh nooooooo gotta gooooooooo, pushed the "post" button & nothing happennedd

is it snowing where any of you guys live?

Jamie, those are like the 5 most bottom-kicking songs Muse have done. I would possibly try Sunburn instead of Time is Running Out if you can get it past the band, but go for it!

You shouldn't have a problem learning them, they're pretty simple (bar Citizen Erased, if only for the length), so good luck!

Oh, and my muff cost me £30 from Soundcontrol, but that was with El Discounto. I don't know how much more it is at full price...

Nope, i wish!

yea i've got like 8 inches and its supposed to snow tommorow too

[QUOTE=coddingtown]Crapdragon, did you see my spector?[/QUOTE]
oh coddington i have been meaning to talk to you! today i played the spector you have .....you lucky bugger! that bass has got to be the best bass i have ever played!!

[QUOTE=bassist-bmxer]oh coddington i have been meaning to talk to you! today i played the spector you have .....you lucky bugger! that bass has got to be the best bass i have ever played!![/QUOTE]

Where did you play it? Sound control??

(The place under Virgin in Oxford Street)

yer, that was the place (i was with him)

Cool... what did you (two) think of it?

Or anyone else thats been there?? I got my Ampeg from there...:D

yeah i think its a really good place, a bit expensive though.

Yea... the whole set-up idea is magical though... the big metal stage with all the amp makers...

Not a great instrument selection though...

yeah i was hoping there would be more 6ers but oh well, i wanted a go on the boss loop pedal in there but someone was using it :upset: i am definetly gonna try it out when i next go though.

oh have you seen that big stage next to the staircase? can anyone just go up there and have a jam?

Hello hello.

Was that on the big white shelf of Boss stuff thats all hooked up with patch leads??

I dont think its like that... its for trying out/looking at amps...

But you just need to say 'Can I try out X instrument with X amp?' and theyll probably say yes and definitely if youre convincing and its not a busy day. :thumb:

Last time I went they had a Stingray with a warped neck, I was gonna say to them that they should just let me buy it for a couple of hundred £'s. :lol:

One of the women that works in there (called Sheila) is the bassist for Elastica...

morning mx

yeah they are really friendly there, not every shop would let someone just try out a £2700 spector bass just to see what it is like :p

What did you think of it??

I almost tried one last time I was there but we were strapped for time...

oh it is the nicest bass i have ever played! its the maple euro neck one. I was just so amazed at how good it was! you must try it!

I shall next time I go which should be soon, what colour was it?... Do you go to Tin Pan Alley often??

littlebit off the theme...
i have been drinking for two days and i'm not able to play bass 'cause my fingers just won't move..

Haha... attention seeker perhaps?

it is pretty much but with different pickups and knob setup

isnt that denmark street? if so yes, i bought a boss chorus pedal in rockers earlier.

Denmark Streets nickname is Tin Pan Alley :thumb:

looks cool

yeah i thought so, what do you think of the bass cellar?

I think the guy running its a bit of knob because he is OBSESSED with Flea...

Have some interesting stories there... lol

hey do one of you guys mind answering my strings thread real quick? Rep points for detailed answers...

:lol:

They are a bit more how you say careful in there, like one time i was playing a 6er in there and the guy was like watching me all the time :p like i was gonna break it or something.

And the shop is really cramped, like you have to squeeze between expensive basses and amps, and i get a bit scared that i'm gonna knock something over lol :p
