I’ve finally had time/access to all my gear in one go (grabbed them from storage) so have taken the opportunity to photograph the new Spector additions and all the other basses I have…. in addition to some older pics. Sorry for the poor picture quality/glare… I had to be quick…!

Thanks guys!! It's been 25 years of trading, upgrading and buying to get to this stage :)

A couple more landing within the next month.... a Cort 'Axe' bass (thanks to my endorsement with the worlds #1 KISS tribute - 'Dressed To Kill') and another Spector Rex 2000/4 (in black stain) which I've just scored at a silly LOW price :)

Just want a Mouradian CS74, an original early 80's ESP Surveyor, Spector Forte-X, Fender Steve Harris, Warwick Infinity & a Jackson TBX (Thunderbird) and I think I'm all done!! lol!
Anyone got any of these for sale?!? ;)

I thought that black one was a Futura XL-(NT) not a KW??

find me a LEFTY Concert-V, and you can HAVE my TBX you have wanted for 3 years as you may have more luck over there than I have been having over here trying to find a lefty one.

[ if they even made a lefty version, cause I never saw one ]

I want a Fender Steve Harris as well n I want to do it in the colors of my favourite American Football team - The Philadelphia Eagles beings that I am from Philadelphia PA originally. I do still live in the area and play out at bars. Maybe I will get a bigger rise from some folks?
