Tis sold Pedro

Thank you all. I'll maybe take some good photo this weekend to show what a special bass this one is. I was selling because I wasn't using it. Now the money would come in handy to be honest. Studenthood is long and income meagre. This really is value for money given the quality, stunning and fairly rare finish and the tone. Ask Joe (Toasted) what it sounds and plays like Given the above change of circumstances I would consider some interesting basses thrown in with cash too. Pedro

Da Bump

Price drop to £2k for Polling Day

I'm surprised that this is up for sale so quickly Rich Having owned active Fenders in the past I can't help wondering if you're not going to regret this. Here's me wishing I still used 4 strings

[quote name='molan' post='828457' date='May 5 2010, 02:15 PM']I think this was mine for a while so i can attest to just how nice it is. Really 'playable' and great depth of tone [/quote] It is indeed 'that bass' The 3EQ U retro hasn't diminished the clarity, playability or depth of tone. It has however given the option of adding mids to it as well. Pedro

A bump from the very bottom to the very top. This really is an immense Lt Ed bass. Pedro

A gentle Spector sized bump.

I'd like to thank everyone for their kind comments If anyone is interested they're welcome to visit and try it out. Peter

Hiya all Bass Chatters, I've been a bit quiet of late but for good rreason. New lady in my life, moved, very involved in my 2nd work placement, taken up motorcycling again having thought 'that's it' 3 years ago (that's what you get for falling for a biker). Life's good and less BC for me is about having more 'life' i.e. a good thing I'm still playing and far from having over 20 basses as of old only one bass gets a look in nowadays, my Status Empathy 5 with 15mm spacing. It's so right for me that Alan (Skelf) is making me a headless Ghallus with the same spacing. So my rather special NS5 Lt Ed is up for sale. It has a John East U Retro fitted to add tonal range in comparison to the original Spector unit. It is in great condition and is rather special (ask a few who've played it). I've borrowed Alanbass1's pics to get the thread started but will add my own in a bit. The bass comes with a Spector hard case, a Comfort Strapp and two new sets of Newtone strings with a tapered B. The Spector Limited Edition Redwood Burl NS-5XL is crafted with 75-to-100 year-old, water-cured redwood burl. The burl rests on a platform of Spector's legendary hand-selected, premium exotic woods: maple for the neck and black walnut for the body wings. Water-cured redwood is harvested from the stumps of redwood trees cut down 75-100 years ago that fell into streams. These trunks were submerged in water the entire time, which washed all the resins out of the wood and replaced them with dissolved minerals. This natural mineral enrichment process is what gives the wood its unique color and density. This natural water curing is very similar to the method that has been used for curing violin woods in Europe for hundreds of years. Unlike these photos it has gold and black knobs. Collection preferred, can deliver a reasonable distance/meet up halfway from Kendal. £2,200 The U-Retro 01 specs can be viewed here: [url="http://www.east-uk.com/"]http://www.east-uk.com/[/url] Here's one of the knobs: and one alongside the white LX

So far as I'm aware, this rig is sold, it sold many months ago and the fact that there was a standing joke about people pm'ing me given 2 posts stating this gear was most definitely sold I still got a pm today. So: [size=7]It's gone!, Like really gone, like sold on like it's not for sale[/size] Yes I'm grumpy today

I'm not around these parts much nowadays but just a bump to say Spector plus John East is a great bass made better.
