  1. Merry Xmas BC folk!

    I picked up this excellent USA made [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Spector NSJH-5[/font][/color] up in a trade about 2 months ago. Having had Spector NS-5XLs, NS6XLs, Euro, NSCRs I wanted to check out the bolt-on US series. Man this thing delivers......

    That said the neck is quite different to the Lulls I have been using for the past year and a bit and to be honest I have grown so used to the really sleek Lull necks that I am just not getting along with the NSJH-5 as much as I thought I would. The neck is exactly like the necks on my NS basses (played them for years) so it really is a case of not being used to the neck type. Think Precision vs Jazz neck.

    The sound is absolutely awesome, a little throatier than the neck-tru XLs. A really bad ass rock bass that can do mellow as well (thanks to the Aguilar pre)!

    Specs:
    [color=#000000][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Built in Woodstock NY in 2002[/font][/color]
    [color=#000000][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Flamed Maple[/font][/color]
    [color=#000000][font="helvetica, arial, sans-serif"]Really good condition (pretty much no wear and tear)[/font]
    [font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]35" scale[/font][/color]
    [color=#000000][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]17mm string spacing [/font][/color]
    [color=#000000][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]EMG Active Jazz in neck position[/font][/color]
    [color=#000000][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]EMG dual coil humbucker in bridge position (switchable)[/font][/color]
    [color=#000000][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Aguilar OBP-1 preamp ([/font][/color][color=#000000][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]9 volt setup) [/font][/color]
    [color=#000000][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]4,3 kg (bathroom scales method)[/font]
    [font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Includes used original Spector[/font][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] hard case[/font][/color]

    Please note this is the sought after fully carved (like NS-5XL) bolt-on model not the (slightly cheaper, lazy b*ggers) flat bodied one they make currently.

    [color=#000000][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]It owes me €1500 or 1225 GBP (excluding shipping) and that is what I would like to get back for it. I live in the Netherlands, but am in Manchester area every month and could take it with me and can of course ship at buyers expense.[/font][/color]

    [color=#000000][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I would certainly consider trades (+ cash either way). Something D Class with tubes (or tube sound), Markbass 102HF (8ohm) or 115HR (8 Ohm), a 5 string Jazz (Lulls preferred of course), a nice 4 string JB (passive is nice), a nice fretless (lined preferred but not required), the Ibanez Ashula, 4 or 5 string slim necked basses, would not rule out 6 string basses, boutique bass pedals... just try me.[/font][/color]

    [color=#000000][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]For the right deal I would consider trade + cash @ +- [/font][/color][color=#000000][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]500 quid out of my pocket (excl shipping/travel).[/font][/color]

    [font="helvetica, arial, sans-serif"][color="#000000"]More pics can of course be sent on request.[/color][/font]

  2. It certainly looks awesome! I would expect this to be pretty much as transparent as the blue soul with vntage know off, but since it may be less open. A bit like Mark Bass' VLE and VPF knobs. I am quite intrigued.

    I have tried the blue soul and it is a cracking amp as all Glock gear, but not sure if the specs are different enough to make trading and or selling/buying useful to you Harry.

    Cheers, Harry

  3. Hi Chris, it is about 18 months old. Has seen roughly 40 gigs and is cosmetically in awesome condition, and of course works 100%. That said, the Fusion 500 is a little underpowered for my needs so thanks but not for me at this point. Cheers!

  4. Time for a cleanup, although I reserve the right to change my mind.

    1. Line6 LM5 - in very good nick - GBP100 traded
    2. Morley ABY - I fitted a 9v connector, not pretty but very handy - GBP25
    3. Radial Big Shot ABY - in very good nick - GBP45
    4. Morley Mini Volume - as new - GBP45 sold
    5. Earthbound BEAST - the mother of all Muff based fuzz pedals, check the rave reviews - GBP100

    All prices excluding shipping (I live in the Netherlands, non tracked shipping = 9 quid, tracked = 13)

    Would trade, but am pretty sorted pedal wise....... just so you know.

  5. For sale of for trade a Markbass LM800 in very good nick. Markbass gig bag included.

    This in essence is the preamp of the LMIII coupled with an 800 watt (@ 4Ohm, 500w @ 8Ohm) D class power amp. An awesome sounding little thing with the normal Markbass attention to detail, clarity and sound quality.

    Very transparent and tone wise halfway between and LMII and an SD800. Ideal for cutting through the mix with 2 guitar players.......

    Just fancy something else really, they don't call me Haz "Yet another Bass" for nothing :)

    Price wise I'd be looking at GBP475 (bag included), but would also be interested in trades. Maybe something D Class with tubes? Orange TB1000, TTE800, GK Fusion 800?? Or high end Eden, Glockenklang, Tecamp stuff. Am happy to pay extra if required, but I am only interested in light(ish) heads.

    I live in the Netherlands, but am happy to ship to UK at buyer's cost (probably in the region of 15 quid) and I will be in Aberdeen on the 6th and 7th of December and Manchester area on 10th thru 12th so we could deal in person there if you want. Comes with UK power cord.
