[quote name='M4L666' post='365041' date='Dec 28 2008, 06:52 PM']I went into town yesterday, was in SoundsLive and played the only 5er in shop- a Spector Euro 5. I'm in love. It felt beautiful (assuaged any doubts I ever had about 5ers), it sounded beautiful, it looked fantastic. I'm obsessed now. Any downsides though? (Apart from the £500 price tag, of course)[/quote] Get it. Now. If you choose to sell it in six months you will make a profit. EDIT - On their website, the 5s are almost a grand. If you can get one for half that you have the bargain of the decade.

I had a good laugh last time and met some cool people, so although I don't have much to show off I may drive up and swoon over some other people's stuff. Now if I could just find someone near Leeds with a Spector Euro 4-string so I could try before deciding whether to buy Warwickhunt's, my forum experience would be complete.

[quote name='GreeneKing' post='355357' date='Dec 15 2008, 08:57 PM']Not a problem I've a Mum who's nearly ninety and won't notice, and a daughter who earns a sight more than me and will just say 'Oh Dad!'[/quote] I live with my brother who earns much more than me and to whom I owe money for utility bills etc, so there was no chance I was going to get off so lightly.

[quote name='GreeneKing' post='355239' date='Dec 15 2008, 06:14 PM']I've been following this and other Spector threads with my Spector GAS snowballing! Chatting to Alan, John and others it seems like the whole package in terms of Eronomics, tone and build quality is just what I'm after. A Warwick style NT in a quality that Warwick I think have lost. Despair, the reasonable prices of late with Sound Control going down have all shot up to between £898 and £1099 Then, courtesy of Sean I was pointed towards a Black Cherry EuroLX4 and although it was priced initially at £899 a double check revealed the correct price to be £599. Guess what? Wednesday. [/quote] Good choice. I was readying funds for that one myself, thank you for saving me from ruining my family's Christmas!!!

[quote name='Sean' post='353796' date='Dec 13 2008, 06:56 PM']I know of a black cherry Euro 4LX that is one of the last SC liquidation ones that is going very cheap. Thanks to WH's fabulous networking to fins a blue one, I managed to hear about this other one. Let e know if anyone's interested.[/quote] Hmmm...intrigued PM sent!

Curiouser and curiouser!!

[quote name='Sean' post='348880' date='Dec 8 2008, 06:00 PM']I was told that they have stopped by a Reverb store this afternoon. No details given just that they don't expect the situation to last long once people start shouting.[/quote] Fair enough. That's weird because Reverb are Arbiter, so they were already giving themselves preferential prices on Spector. There's no announcement been made to the trade press, which is usually where this sort of rumour ends up first.

[quote name='noisedude' post='348871' date='Dec 8 2008, 05:49 PM']I think they're with Aribter unless something's changed.[/quote] It hasn't [url="http://www.arbiter.co.uk/spectorbass/index.htm"]http://www.arbiter.co.uk/spectorbass/index.htm[/url]

[quote name='Sean' post='348868' date='Dec 8 2008, 05:44 PM']Apparently Spector are no longer being distributed in the UK. Reverb have a few Euros left at a reasonable price but nothing like what what was being offered in the summer.[/quote] I think they're with Aribter unless something's changed.
