Any trades you'd be willing to consider + cash?[/quote] Hi, any deal would need to involve some cash my way as this is my reason for selling, however, I am interested in picking up a jazz bass, preferably a 5, so let me know what you have! Cheers, Johnny

New Year's bump!

Hi- how much are you looking for? Is that the original neck?

post christmas burp... er, sorry that should have been post christmas bump.

Wow, have just read Warwick hunt's sale thread and noticed the price of spector's on [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/cat.html?bf=spector&oa=prd"]Thomann[/url]. This bass is now selling there for well over £4,000, however, this remains at £1,600. Soon you won't be able to get a euro new for that- grab it while you can!!! I am heading abroad for the holidays now so might be a bit slow on the pm's but the bass is still in the gallery so get down and have a look if you're interested. Happy holidays, Johnny.

It's far too good to be sitting around unplayed![/quote] [quote name='Weird War' post='357266' date='Dec 17 2008, 07:27 PM']It's a very attractive finish, I think. Good luck with the sale. [/quote] Thanks guys, I couldn't agree with you both more!

[quote name='graemecohen' post='356032' date='Dec 16 2008, 02:53 PM']Love this one the colour in particular!! good luck! I'd love it if I had the money![/quote] Cheers Graeme, there has been quite a lot of chat about the fantastic quality of spectors recently and this one is no exception. Glad you like the colour- as I have said in previous posts I really like these natural tones and grains, but I'd be interested to get some more reaction from other members since it was mentioned that the finish might be dissuading people. Anyone?

I'll be away at the end of the week til January (although the spector will remain at the gallery) so if you want this hanging on your fireplace get in touch before then! Cheers, Johnny.

Mulled wine fueled bump!

PM'd you trev.

PM also sent.

Wow, would love to take this off you... If Golchen would only buy my spector...

[quote name='Crazykiwi' post='347901' date='Dec 7 2008, 02:57 PM']Hey Johnny, the only suggestion I can offer is maybe to consider a new set of strings? I seem to remember the set that was on there were a little dead and made testing the full tonal response of the instrument a little difficult.[/quote] Cheers Kiwi, they haven't been changed for a while so I'll look into it (although I do think the pre still sounds pretty epic). I must admit, I always think its strange that shops don't set guitars up better when they're trying to sell them, especially since if they play like butter first off there must be a much higher chance of sale.

[quote name='Crazykiwi' post='347846' date='Dec 7 2008, 01:41 PM']money -> mouth ? [/quote] Kiwi you'll have to let me in on the secret of your sales success!!! When I was last in at the gallery it was round at the back among the amps rather than on the wall- apparently some people had looked but not seen it- thanks for the tip off, its definitely worth a look in! I think the colour and finish is always going to be done to personal preference really- I bought it partly because its a beautiful piece of wood and I love the subtle finish which shows off the grain. But I suppose a hot pink refin isn't entirely out of the question! Anyway, I'd love to move this on since higgies' DJ5 is catching my eye. I've dropped the price quite a way already, but anyone who is more than just an interested watcher please get in touch and maybe we could sort out a pre christmas discount or something? Imagine this bad boy in your stocking!!! Cheers, Johnny

Bump it up! Still at the gallery.

PM coming your way.

[quote name='Golchen' post='336356' date='Nov 25 2008, 03:56 PM']That's it - keep taunting me![/quote] Bump for Golchen!

PM'd!

Habitual bump.

Thanks for the interest, this is now back at the Bass Gallery in Camden and still available.
