@Rumple has a wanted ad for one of these I believe, if it’s a Glockenklang. 

Already been in contact thanks - not for him, needs 4  x completely separate pots, i.e 2 not fixed, mounted on a PCB.

Pretty sure Fender don't have any kind of copyright over that style of writing.

Bought some Tuners from Mick, as ever a great deal.

Top man, would be more than happy to deal with again.

Hi, is this still for sale?

 

Yes - still got it

EMG BTS 2-Band on-board EQ.

£50 plus £3.50 to post UK.

One of the features of the BTS Control is a 2-position dip-switch that controls the slope of the high frequency response. By choosing one of the four combinations the high frequency response can be tailored to your liking - see graph below.

Note, this came from a circa 2000 Spector bass - the pickups will need soldering to the pots, the rest of the preamp just needs the plugs pushing back on.

Bass and Treble controls are mounted on separate shafts and knobs. Also included are a Master Volume control, output jack, battery buss and clip.

All knobs are included.

Layout:
2 Band -- 4 Knob:
Volume -- Balance -- Treble -- Bass

Sandberg onboard preamp.

£60 plus £3.50 to post UK.

£110 for a new on on Bass Direct to a decent saving.

Four-knob, two-band preamp from a Sandberg TT5:

• volume (pull up to switch to passive mode)
• blend with centre detent
• bass
• treble, or tone (in passive mode)

Actual photo below and then some photos I found online of how to connect up.

To wire it up (numbers refer to photo):
1. signal (to output jack)
2. ground
3. 9V battery

There are three connections on the circuit board to connect your pickups to: connect your first pickup to top, shield/ground to the middle, second pickup to bottom. In this photo, the grey wire was neck pickup and the black one was the bridge.

Soldering to a board on these so you'll need to be fairly comfortable on soldering skills.....

Hes just withdrawn it, had this and an Adam Clayton Warwick up and said he was only selling one. Yeah though €600 would be more like it alright.

That's an NS2000 - nice bass, shouldn't be a Tonepump Jnr in there - can't see where the comment is that its a Tonepump Jnr is on the ad actually.

@TheGreek an NS2000 has come up locally.

€700, deal or no deal? It looks nice and better than a legend.

Black, neck thru, gold hardware, emg hz and tonepump Jr, looks decent. This would be my first spector so treading lightly

 

That's too high on value.

Assuming it's stock then if it has a Tonepump Jnr it won't be an NS2000.

The NS2000s came with an EMG preamp or a K Haz.

Sounds like this one is one of the newer NT legends.

Nickel or Chrome?

Well....I didn't know how to tell the difference until googling it just now.

Nickel warmer  - yellow tint

Chrome - brighter, blue tint.

On that basis I;ll go for Chrome.....

If they coerced someone with what sounds like some level of mental health struggle to take down a video criticising their product...well, that would be a thing, wouldn’t it?!!

It wasnt quite that in all fairness but I caught some of it (now deleted) and from what I saw it was a somewhat uncomfortable read.....maybe its your playing style, your compressor, the youtube video compression, the way the pickups work, the strings, the set up....

I'm a Spector fan.

 It was clear to me in the videos that went up.  Not the best place to demonstrate and listen though granted - recorded through a phone (?) compressed on Youtube.....

Most comments are that it is much more apparent in a band environment.

The interesting thing is how polarising peoples views on this are.

I havent got a dog in this fight other than I was interested in picking one up.

From the other place.

....and here is one guys replacement (note replacement!), disappointing but unsurprisingly the same issue.

 

Video taken down after Spector agent and others convinced the guy that replacement is fine.

See how it unfolds........., my view is that the manufacturing tolerance of the pickup cavity location and the manufacturing tolerance of where the magnet actually sits inside the pickup leaves this teetering right on the edge giving an issue.
