    **SOLD** I'm in the process of downsizing my bass collection - the latest offering is my 2010 Spector Rebop 5, DLX FM. It is a wonderful sounding, easy to play and versatile bass equiped with EMG-HZ passive pickups mated to a Spector Tonepump Pre Amp. At only 3.7 kg, it's also very light and well balanced. The 35-inch scale lends a lot of clarity and punch to the B string but playing this bass you never feel like you have to stretch to play any of the notes. The bass is in good used condition - with a few minor blemishes as seen in the photos - but everything works as it should, including the truss rod and electronics. The bass is located in Germany but I am happy to ship to the UK. Shipping is 75GBP which includes full insurance

    Final price drop to £1000!

    Just to confirm that the tools arrived and function perfectly. Thank you @tauzero for pointing me in the right direction!

    Great looking bass for peanuts! Looks an awful lot like a Tune Bass Maniac?

    Lovely bass and a very fair price. I have to ask though, wtf is that for a Nut???
  6. dyerseve
    Lol, how very rude of me! I am away from home currently. I have one more on the way that wont arrive until early October. When it does arrive, this is what it will look like...

    Thank you very much @tauzero ! Thats extremely helpful. As im located in Germany i had to find an alternative as they wouldnt ship here. However i found the same thing much cheaper and with free shipping from Amazon US. For others in my predicament this is what i have ordered: Harpsicle 18532 Impact Wrench Afinacion Performance Profile Harp https://amzn.eu/d/bIPm3xr

    Has anyone found an alternative for the original Tool as i have two Pedullas and neither has one. Ive heard of people using an "autoharp tuning wrench" however i have tried 2 different ones and neither fit...

    It definitely isnt spalted anything - burl something yes, spalted something no
  10. dyerseve
    Cracking looking bass but i believe that is maple burl rather than spalted maple...

    Damn, thats a lot of bass for not a lot of money! Looks cool too 😎

    Is it just me or does the core wood look like cork???
  13. dyerseve
    Not to mention the seller says the neck is bowed and "they aren't sure if the truss rod works"...
  14. dyerseve
    Do you wear a Belt or a belt-sander? Very nice bass. GLWTS
  15. dyerseve
    I have a 78 with the epoxy pre and it is truly killer!
  16. dyerseve
    Can you please clarify, are you selling a complete bass? Just wondering why the electronics, shown installed in the bass in the photos, appear to be listed separately your advert...
  17. dyerseve
    I would pay £100 not to own that!

    Great looking bass! That trim pot on the pre amp adjusts the preset mid range point which changes the character of the bass dramatically allowing for even more tonal variety.

    I still dont get it - why would you want to know how much you need to change it at the 12th fret - that only services half of the fretboard... Typically I never measure the action when setting up any of my basses, I just keep going lower until fret buzz intervenes. Then I raise the action a fraction at a time until there is no fret buzz on the last few frets as they are always the last to buzz. I have only measured the action on this occasion to compare it to what others are achieving with their P basses
  20. dyerseve
    For me it makes zero sense to measure at the 12th fret as it's not the highest the action will be and, depending on the relief set, will not be indicative of the action across the neck.
  21. dyerseve
    Sorry for any confusion, I am measuring 2.5mm action(distance between bottom of the string and the top of the fret) at the 20th fret
  22. dyerseve
    I can't get the action lower without getting buzzing
  23. dyerseve
    thank you, yes I have already seen that. What would help is if I had a brain! I just measured the relief again(corrrectly this time though!) and I am getting around 2,5mm. Still much too high for my liking though. My go to bass is a '87 JD Thumb which plays like a dream with an action of no more 1,5mm across all the strings.
  24. dyerseve
    thank you, that is very useful to know. Looks like I need to get a pro to sort out the frets in that case. Out of interest, what kind of relief have you set to achieve that action?
  25. dyerseve
    thanks everyone for your input, very helpful. I am going to pass the info on to my friend. I am hoping to borrow them from him some time - if I manage that I will report back on how I get on with them.
