That Spector is really nice. I love how the top on the wings is 1/2 thickness, no photo veneer there.
Can I ask why two of the strings are different colour to the other two?
Do you attract the mice to it by cheesy playing?
Sweet!
Had no idea’Better Mousetrap’ was a brand.
After reading your NBD I thought I’d invite you to The 'Official' 4 string extended scale bass club

Fair enough, I thought as much, just wondered if it were for a more esoteric reason.The simple answer is I think it looks cool, that's the reason behind the 2 colour strings
I was good this year, only 3
Douglas BI-10 2TS
Sire M7 Alder 2nd gen
Harley Benton B-550 FL BK (I don't have a pic of this one yet, but it's the fretless and inlayless version of this)

Bought 4, 1970 Fretless Precision, 1974 Gibson Ripper (a project bass) Spector Euro 5 Classic and a Musicman Sterling H4, sold many but most notably got on the waiting list for a new Wal!
it's pretty rough, was missing everything except neck and body, old headstock repair but is coming together nicely, weighs 8 lbs 3 oz!Nice!
How much of a project is the Ripper? Was it in real bad shape?

I am the proud new owner of the Moon. Not too heavy for me at just under 10 lbs. I owned the same model from the 90's
and it weighed over 12 lbs!
Awesome man. That is literally THE best sounding bass I've ever owned. Glad it settled in a good home. It's a truly spectacular bass.
I feel unworthy, I added 2 basses in 2021.
I got a 21 MiA (Mod Shop) P with 1 pc. rosewood neck, satin black, tort of course.
I got a Kiesel PB5 1 pc ash with matching ash laminate, unfilled grain whatever that's called. Blocks and ebony.
And because someone's gotta stir up the pot I got a new Tele because all bass and no gu-tar makes me a dull boy.

It is as high end Jazz Bass as anything I've owned, and I've owned many!
I received my 2 Sires on 2021, a M7 6 strings Transblue on October and a V5 5 strings natural on November. Then got lucky and found on a local list my "fist band bass", a 1988 black Aria Pro II IGB-50. But the year wasn't over as just at the end of december I scored a great deal on my first "Dream Bass", a Metallic Silver 1984 Fender MIJ PJ-555.
Not bad for a pandemic year...
