In.

I've been playing the gloss white Wimbish-necked Euro LX since I got it on Thursday and I've decided that it doesn't really work as well for me as the Ian Hill profile or even the regular Euro 4 LX profile. The strings are just too close for me at the bottom of the neck and I can't get comfortable. I've emailed Beaver and asked if he'd take it back and let me order a white Ian Hill instead. We'll see. I didn't custom order this one, Bass Central did and i just claimed one of the two they had ordered from the CR factory. So I'm hoping he doesn't pull a "can't return a custom ordered bass" line since I wasn't the one who custom ordered it. Plus it's white and a Wimbish neck - he'll move it fast.

I'd offer it up to everyone on the club, but I paid $1999 for it and I want to get that money back either in the form of a white Ian Hill, a White Euro LX 4 or a refund. Unless a club member wants to take a brand new custom Euro off me for $1999. I'll just float that out there. Hopefully, Beaver will work with me on this.

But anyway - I'm in with the current family. I WILL have a white Spector 4. I'm just gonna have to be patient and order what I know and am comfortable with instead of letting myself get talked into stuff.

Boy, that is narrow at the nut - I can tell just from looking at the side-by-side family photo.. Good luck on your quest for the "Great White" Smadder - Beaver is a great guy, and hopefully he'll work with you to help you get what you really want.

I hope so man. I don't mind the wait. I just hope he does it without up charging me. If anything, an Ian Hill with a gloss white finish should be a bit less than a regular LX with the neck option AND the gloss option. I think I may order it with the 9v USA preamp if I can squeeze it in. We'll see. I'll keep you guys posted.
