Just had a quick look round at how prices vary for these.
Some dealers price them around the £5.5k mark whereas some other well known dealers want £7k. I'd like to think they are this price so they have lots of room to discount even at around the £5.5k mark
I'd be interested to see how much they go for at Bass Direct or Thomann if they stock it.

Will (BassBros) sold four of my basses this year, incl. a Spector Forte. Great guy. I would ask him to sell it for you!
Check out his feedback on Trustpilot. Pretty impressive: https://uk.trustpilot.com/review/bassbros.co.uk
Yeah, I spoke to him and he sounds like a great guy. I'll give it a little time on Reverb and then think I will reach out to him again in the new year. thanks!

Same experience here.
Wish I had known before I let them have it! As I say, lesson learnt!

I think I know who you mean.
I had a similar experience.
Yeah, I was not impressed. made no effort at all to sell it, Didn't even advertise it on their website until I flagged it with them. Anyway, big lesson learnt!

Let's hope you will find a buyer on Reverb. I can also recommend BassBros and BassDirect. Both have successfully sold many of my basses (over 20), incl. several Spector basses (NS-2, Forte, Euro and Legend). Yes, they take a 20% cut but they take good photos, put the bass on Reverb, deal with the unavoidable time wasters and organise the shipping. They can also demand higher selling prices than private sellers.
Good shout! Bass Bros I have spoken to and seem good. I had tried a certain Bass specialist in London but they made no effort to sell it and when I collected it after 6 weeks it had a scratch on it.

This really is a great bargain. I guess the COL crisis is keeping us from pulling the trigger.
GLWTS 👍
Thank you.
Yeah, I cant understand why this hasn't sold. Its in such good condition and new they are about a grand more! Maybe its because the ads been on here for a while? I have had a few time wasters and just listed it on Reverb so fingers crossed!

Clint, I hope to God as much you do that someone buys this soon; went to a medical centre to discuss the sale of body parts for funding. My age and condition ensured plenty of raised eyebrows and when I told them I'm a professional bassist, hysteria ensued and Security booted me out.
I'll try a different joint tomorrow 'cause this bass is worth the risk of abject humiliation 🤞🏻. If it all ends in failure, GLWTS.
🙂 Ha, Thank you! I have a few people interested and sending messages so hopefully it will be sold soon. Its a great bass, just not for me but someone will get a bargain.

Sundown Glow, it looks absolutely spectacular, I feel like I've got something between a Spector and a Fodera!
Yeah they are amazing quality and all 3 colours are killer! Mine doesn't seem to be getting the love it deserves for some reason.

Spector Euro 5 RST :D, it's fantastic and I think hugely undervalued
Nice! I've not tried the 5 string but im sure its to the same quality and a fine bass. What colour?

That’s my fear! 😂 I’ve sold a few things few marketplace on FB and various groups. It’s a massive audience, it’s just a case of separating the genuine buyers from the messers
Totally agree, I have sold and bought on there but so many scammers and time wasters to weed through but the right person is there and will get a bargain! Also on Ebay and Reverb but thats a last resort 🙂

I personally love it, but I've ended up with a 5 string which is better for my needs
Gotta go with what you need! What 5 string did you get?

I’m hoping it sells, so I don’t have to decide what to sell to fund a purchase! 😂
Well don't be the one to lose out on a bargain and end up kicking yourself! 😂
I am surprised it hasn't got more love on BC, most of the interest is coming from groups on Facebook but I guess thats how it is now.

I don't like signature basses but that's a beauty! It is just missing the binding but even without it looks amazing.

Spector Euro bass - Withdrawn

I have one of these myself and its awesome. I've seen them sell for a higher price then that too so someone will get a treat when they buy this rare beauty! (I had read it was 400 of all 3 colours rather then per colour so may want to check that)
GLWTS!

What a beauty and a bargain at that price!
I have one from the Custom Shop in Sonic Blue and the build quality is off the charts! Pick ups can be pretty hot but this is a hell of a lot of bass for the money and anyone who is looking for a decent Fender Jazz should look at one of these USA Models. Its keeping it in the Leo Fender family after all!

Gibson Memphis Custom Shop ES-335 bass
in Basses For Sale
Posted
These are awesome basses! A very rare gem from Gibson as I recall they only made a total of 400 of these in 2013 in 3 colours (Black, Red, Sunburst) before they do what they always do and discontinue good stuff.
I was lucky enough to get my hands on a couple which have become my go to bass as they are easily one of the best basses I have ever played and I love the power and versatility.... plus they look cool and are standard scale unlike the EBs of the 60's.
Someone will be very happy with this! GLWS
