    spector for £80

    in eBay - Weird and Wonderful

    Posted

    I'm in Edinburgh and emailed the guy as soon as the posting went up. Got one back yesterday saying it was sold. The guy who got it must've been like lightning! :)

    Gumtree had a warwick streamer on a couple of weeks ago for £400. When I went to have a look the guy pushed the price up £50 claiming a lot of people had phoned him telling him it was too cheap. After a quick once over and a noodle I decided to pass as the neck was iffy and the frets were totally shagged. The guy could'nt beleive that I didn't buy it. It pays to see what you are buying sometimes!!

    Moving on my pbassalike as I've just bought a Sandberg pm4. Bought on here a year ago from Mr 2x18. It's a great bass made from quality parts. Body is of unknown origin but is well made and not too heavy. Neck is a Mighty Mite jazz with the jazz bass logo on. Solid upgraded gold bridge with matching Schaller tuners and an EMG pbass pickup. Selling this with 2 spare pickguards. One in firey lava and the other in red tortoishell. Strung with standard gauge rotosounds it's also recently had a professional set up fretdress. It's in good condition with hardly any dings or scratches.

    Here's a link to a gallery:

    This is a great player with a really low action and a fast neck. It's been my main gigging bass for the past year and it sounds amazing aswell. Paid £250 last year I'd be happy with £200 including postage.

    Thanks for looking :)

Have you checked the provenance? do you know for a fact that the neck was added after the factory? I have read that during the transition period they bolted anything together to use old stock. This could be one of those instruments.

    I dont know for a fact if the neck was added laterly just assumed it was as theres a 3 year difference in age. How do you check the provenance?

    It's the dugs baws mate! Using pbassalikes all the time now so it's sitting in the cupboard under the stairs like Harry Potter:) Would prefer a trade if anything as it's a difficult bass to put a price to. I paid £600 for it and have had it for 10 years so maybe...£500 posted?

    Got any bigger photos?[/quote]

    Put a bit slap in a punk track with this bass once! Does that make me a funky boy? :)

    Thinking about moving on my trusty Stingray that has served me well but not getting a look in after purchasing a Sandberg PM4.



    It's a slab body and dated 83. All the electronics are original but the bridge has been upgraded to a Schaller a some point a long time ago. There are the usual amount of dings and belt scratches that you would expect to find on an old, used bass but no cracks or splits.



    The neck is from a Sabre and is dated 80 on the end of it. I have no idea where the original Stingray neck is or what happened to it but it fits snuggly and was professionally done. The laquer has worn off the back of the neck with playing and has it's fair share of "mojo" aswell as the body. Had a refret and the nut replaced a couple of months ago when I was concerned about a small hump in the neck. The luthier told me it was nothing serious and the frets were level with no dead spots. It has a hipshot dtuner, standard gauge Ernieball strings and a padded gigbag.



    Not quite sure how to price this as it's a bit wierd. All the parts are genuine,stamped USA components and pre EB. It sounds great and can be heard at www.acdc-volts.com. Also used on the Threats album "God is Not With us Today" Some opinions of a fair price would be welcomed :)

    For trades I would be interested in either a decent 5 string or fretless 4.

    I live in Edinburgh if anyone wants to try it out and can post in an old but functional hardcase.

    Thanks for looking!!

    Dave

    It's a really easy one to reproduce, and every fag burn is truly authentic, too.

    Just saying ...[/quote]

    The relic'ed Sandberg California basses have the fag burn on the headstock. Some poor guy in Germany must have to smoke tabs all day and destroy perfectly good bass guitars for a living! :)

    Bought a mint condition,Sandberg pm from Rich who is a complete gent of a man! Was dubious about sending off my hardearned to a complete stranger but after a couple of chats on the phone he was obviously a trustworthy guy. Both he and his lovely missus couldn't have been more helpful. If your thinking about buying anything from Rich I would recommend him highly!! Had bad experience on this forum before so this deal has rekindled my faith in "The Spirit of Basschat"

    Thanks again mate and keep intouch!

    I can probably Amtrak it to you if you are interested - but I'd have to get a quote... and a suitable box from somewhere![/quote]

    That sounds great! Gies a shout when you get a quote and we`ll take it from there?

    My wife owns our only acoustic so it would be nice to get my own one :)

    I Probably Paid Over The Odds But....

    [quote name='BassManKev' post='206946' date='May 26 2008, 11:28 PM']indeed you did pay over the odds in the current market, specailly with that guy in the other forum almost buying one for £475 or sumit at local guitar shop[/quote]

    Still £300 cheaper than retail and in mint condition. Beautiful neck...much better quality than the new one I sold last year.

    If I was looking for another 3eq Stingray I`d hang out for one like yours and pay the odds!!

    If the guy isn`t forthcoming with a refund, open a dispute with paypal as soon as possible. This will freeze his account and stop him from taking the money out! Paypal is your best bet as ebay dont really give a f%$k as long as they`re raking in the cash!!

    The guy pulled the listing with an hour go saying that there were 25 watchers and no bids!! Email him with sensible offers!!

    Does that strike anyone else as a bit fishy? Surely he must know that most bids will come in the last few minutes or is it deliberate ruse to create a transaction outwith ebay?

    Bugger....I wanted that! :)
