Ooh yeah pretty. Spector basses seem nice, I have limited experience with them but I’d like to try more.

I just got one of these JMJ Mustangs and they’re terrific. Super fun. I banged through the bass buzz class on a full scale and I’m a bit smaller in size. Now that I have a short scale to tinker around on it feels like I fly around the neck much more comfortably.

If my budget could take the hit I would love to try a status graphite. With the fretboard lights of course!

YES that sounds so fun. Mark King licks all day.

The local shop just got in a little short scale with flatwounds… It’s amazing!! Flats on a short scale sound PERFECT for 70s funk basslines.
I never liked flats because they were too tight… but on the little bitty short scale, they have more give, and they sound like they’re straight off a Herbie Hancock record.
The bass is a Hagstrom, and has tons of good-lookin’ vibe… a scratchy pot or two… but it was suuuuper groovy.

My dad worked for Spector In the 80s when they were in Brooklyn, he made a Ns1 in the shop and had it for many years , unfortunately he sold it around 2010 and I regret not buying it from him at the time . I always keep my eyes open for that bass I’m willing to overpay for it just to give it back to him as a surprise

If you have a picture consider posting it in the talk bass forums. They have a large Spector community that might be able to track down the current owner.

Bought a new to me Squier 20th Anniversary Jazz Bass in Shoreline Gold today. Looked good, like the color & the price was good. Now to recover from rotator cuff surgery so I can start playing again.

Be on top of your PT. I did everything they told me, and I was at Milwaukee Brewers baseball fantasy camp 8 months later throwing baseballs for a week.

Roger. Maintenance and follow through. The hard part about being human. On it!

I’m seriously drooling over an Ernie Ball Music Man Stingray Special 4HH right now. I can hardly go a day without visiting sites and checking out all the color and neck options. It’s a far better bass than my meager playing can justify, but it will be added to my stable eventually. I was wanting a Fender USA Geddy Lee Jazz Bass, but I think the Stingray has my mind swayed…

Love the metallic finish with the texture-y looking pickguard. So pretty.

Vox V210 Phantom IV Bass 1965
First of all it is my year and then I just loooove the look.
Did one of you guys ever play on one? I would love to hear if it’s worth the price.

I am currently saving for a Sire P7 or V7 bass but ultimate groove machines in my mind is a MTD bass. I love the MTD tone especially the Justin Raines Signature model.
Example: from 2:49-on
One day!
Oh and it looks great too!

Oh man yes, MTD basses are so drool-inducing. I’ve played a few really nice old custom MTDs, you’re reigniting my lust for them just by mentioning the name lol.
