You should try that with yours... considering it was the color and quilt on your bass that inspired me to ask Stuart for this one. :D

Thanks! I was actually thinking of stringing mine with a set of the Maxima 24k gold strings to match the gold hardware, but like you, I only get the sound I love with stainless steel. All 4 of my Spectors are currently strung with ProSteels, and even though there are 4 different preamps & 2 pickup types in the mix, I'm loving the sound of each one.

As I take a little break from tuning up for this Saturday's gig I look across the room at my Forte and it just strikes me (again) what a great concept this bass is.

The big 3 did this with muscle cars back in the 60's. You could get a bare bones, bad ass hot rod for relatively cheap but it didn't come with AC, cupholders, fancy upholstery or dashes. Just everything you needed to go fast and nothing you didn't.

Kudos to PJ for coming up with this idea and Stuart for the execution. Brilliant bass.

Perfect analogy. The Forte very much reminds me of a big-block '60s era muscle car, both in appearance and tone. :bassist:
