The eBay misinformation continues here:

Korean made "Europe Series Doug Wimbish" - unfortunately the Behringer decal option on the back of the bass is no longer offered on the Korean Wimbish models...:rolleyes:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Spector-4-S...2-/331026498056?pt=Guitar&hash=item4d12b78208

What's worse is the seller is linking to the actual Wimbish Euro LX Signature model page from the Spector site for info on this bass.

$36 for a Wimbish? I'll take that gamble, even if it is a fake! lol The tuners aren't even wound right!!

EDIT: I wanted to see how high the bid went before it would tag me as the current leader. $76. lol Now, here's hoping someone outbids me. >.<

That is an old legend model... if it goes cheap enough that will be a cool bass... I might have to keep my eye on it and match my guitarist :)

The older 3 band Legends are pretty nice basses, I really like the set neck Legend customs, wish I still had mine. But a long way from a Wimbish at any rate. The seller obviously isn't a musician judging from their recent items sold and other items available, however if anyone that doesn't know better bids on this thinking it is a Euro bass they'll be very disappointed.

Yeah, I know. :P I retracted my bid just on the basis that I won't buy from intentional scammers.

The hardest thing about doing that show was dealing with the photographer stopping me while I needed to get things ready....like...."hey, let me get a picture of that bass" when I should have been ready to perform! lol

Thanks...I was really hoping it would do the trick. And my bet it would have- under normal circumstances.......

Looks like you're in the same boat as my ReBop. :( We're currently lifting the fingerboard, so we can cut & pull the rod.

Hopefully not any more than I'm paying to have the same work done to my 'Bop.

Actually, because of your post I asked about lifting just the end of the fingerboard off and not removing the whole thing. He's gonna let me know.



When I got the bass, it was cool. Played it for a bit and oh sweet Lord does it freakin' sound good!
But it was set up with higher action than I like and there was more relief than I have.
I went to adjust the truss rod and it did flatten out the neck a bit. But it turned VERY hard. I let it settle and tried again. a little more then just wouldn't budge.
So, I backed it off and that when things got all goofy with it.
So here I sit waiting on it to be hopfully fixed soon.

I'm in so far I'd guess at least $150 in bench time alone.
But Tom is a super good guy and if he gets stuck and can't do anything, I doubt he'll charge me more than a 6 pack! ;)

I really love this bass, but it's not my absolute favorite. As for the sound, I don't really feel like it lost any tone from the Kahler being installed. I e compared it with my blue '86, & it sounds really close. I do have a recording of it. I used it to track a song for one of my old bands. i thought it tracked well. Here's a link to it.
