Greetings, Fat stringers, and Low-end lovers!

Here is a video of me putting my new Spector Bass through the motions. It’s literally right out of the box in this video!

Here are links to the Spector page, where my new Bass is featured:

And here is a link to the Barnes and Mullins website:

As I mention in the video, the Bass feels great. Not too heavy. Has a nice shape, awesome colour and almost plays itself because of the comfort. The sound is awesome. Enough low to maintain the low, but enough mid and high to really ping out those Bass chords, slap and tapping. Nothing is too muddy, and nothing has too much treble.

I’m still investigating this Bass, but I will get back to you with my findings!

Enjoy the video, my friends:

Ok, this is more of a Bass solo than a riff. This Bass lesson covers the MELODY of the trumpet line. The most memorable part of the Pink Panther theme tune!

Hope you enjoy it!
