SPECTOR® Club - Part 41

[brotherbassj]

I gotta remember to check Carvin - I play LaBella Hard Rockin' Steels exclusively; the closest place to me in Charlotte, NC that I have found that carries them is the Bass Gallery in Atlanta, GA.

Yeah, the carvin stainless are pretty much the same strings....try them and you will be pleasantly surprised!

Yeppers, a good ole 315.

Oh heck...here I was thinking 318's!!!

 

[iceboxbass]

WHOA!!!!

 

[PhatBasstard]

Where do you guys look for "rare" Spectors. I am looking for a 4 string solid wing Euro Spector with a natural/oil finish......

You mean like this one......:

 

[iceboxbass]

Is that a 615 and 412? I'd quit if that was my rig. Or the PA speakers. You need a forklift at least, to move that. Probably more like a crane.

Nah...think about it...the gig is at your building every time. Now for the 10,000W amp head to push the air...

 

[Basstovsky]

What's that little wooden thing leaning up in front of it, a drum?

 

[ynot12]

You mean like this one......:

I love that finish.... sweet! If I ever grow a pair I will sand my CRFM down and refinish it. I bet I could get it to look like that with the right oil finish.

 

[5string_phunk]

You mean like this one......:

YES!!!!! I played one very similar to yours at the Sam Ash in Nashville around 2002. It was $800 and I just didn't have the scratch to pick it up. In college my focus changed from trombone to bass and I looked around for several weeks for the name of the company of the magical bass I played. Then I saw the body of a Legend 4 on Musicians Friend and the next day I had one coming to me! It wasn't the Euro CRFM, but it was still a FANTASTIC bass!

I would love to find one as nice as yours! That flame is ridiculous!

 

[iceboxbass]

I don't know, Jaymi uses Slinky's on all his Spector's. They definitely sound right to me.

I have power slinkies on my Forte 5 and they sound great but...it's not the sound that I need. I have a set of RotoSounds 77 Flatwounds coming tomorrow. Can't wait to hear them!

Carvin stainless are the exact same string!

I can't say for the new ones , but the older leather'ish ones are awesome !!!!

 

[iceboxbass]

Sounds good! Track says: "Jesus Messiah" but it plays Mighty to Save. I really enjoy playing both of those songs.

Bonkers! Lol You're right...that is what happens when you have 3 grand-daughters running around the room all trying to get my attention while I'm loading a song for my first time on soundcloud. Haha Thanks for pointing that out. I've corrected the title. I wish I could correct the song instead, but I'm back home where there's no Internet.

Beautiful!

Thank you Mr. Bassie!

Very nice.

Thank you BobUnit!

Very Nice Ice.

Some kicking harmonies going on in that track.

Are you also singing or are you just the bassman on the track?

Thank you Limaguy! I'm playing bass and singing the bass vocals at the same time.

Good job!!

Thank you seventh! I'll try and post some more soon now that I know how to use Soundcloud. (Thank you LimaGuy!)

I have a new one here, they are very good (construction)

 

[JeffplaysBass]

Here's one of the songs from my band I.R.U.M.C. BAND, that we recently recorded. I know this genre (CCM) of music isn't everyones liking but I hope you will listen to it and enjoy it.
Thank you!

Nice Mike...but listening to that makes me feel like a back-slider....

 

[JeffplaysBass]

i dont think i reposted the final version of this song here on tb. so here it is. i d.i.'d the m80 and mic'd the ampeg. mixed them both and got a good tone. hope you like it.

[Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

Nice!...sounds me a hint of Megadeth.

 

[JeffplaysBass]

So I managed to grab a barely used Forte 4 from Beaver at BC. I literally called out of nowhere and they just happened to have it, so my faux forte 4 will go to Jamie (brotherbassj) and the white JAR is going this Saturday to James up in SC, so the cost of the Forte 4 will eventually be completely covered. Very excited to finally have one. Two basses for one does seem odd, but it will be worth it to me as I really loved the tone of the Forte 5 but not the weight or the neck. This, my Euro LX5/ faux Forte 5 and whatever white Euro LX4 I decide to hold onto (the one from j.kernodle or the white Wimbish that's supposed to get here by the end of the month) and I will be set! My dream will still be a blue on black NS-4 like superdick's but, that will be some major moola and is probably a ways off in the future. But in the meantime I'll have 3 basses that cover all my needs and they all sound fantastic. Happy day my friends, happy day. And its going to get here tomorrow which means I get to audition with it this weekend!

I love it when a plan comes together.

 

[iceboxbass]

Thank you Sum!
