That is me:-)

I don' remember if I bought it from you or somebody else but I have this SR3006 for 12 years now. Changed the bassculture pickup and the original preamp since plus put up a ramp. It is a very comfortable bass, one of my all time fav's.
-
Thanks, I thought at first glance they were the original pics from the ad.
-
Beautiful! I wonder how it looks now.
-
Congratulations! Awesome pair, how much of a sonic difference is there between the two? The pu positions seem to be the same even with traditional P / reversed P config.
-
Yeah! You know that sustain that these neck through tables have is another level. It really makes your dinner last a lot longer... 😂
-
😄 😄 Actually no. I have this neck through table in our living room, the '77 table was outside on the porch and now in my cousin's garden.

Speaking of white Spectors, I just had a great and fun rehearsal with my band for our gig on Friday using my Spector Euro 435 (35" Euro 4 LX with solid maple wings) This is my main live bass since last spring and although I prefer the NS-5XL for recording this is really kicking donkey for playing live. Since the G string is not a necessity for the gig it is tuned B(A)EAD and I can have the iconic white Spector PJ look onstage 🙂 This is such a great bass, I got rid of the Aguilar P/J that it came with in favor of a X series EMG PJ but kept the Aguilar OBP it came with. And in action! 🙂

I'm quite safe as I don't play 4 string basses much but still have two 4 string Spectors. So it is quite easy to convince myself 😄 -
Someone was looking for a blue 40th, if I get around remembering who and where I'll direct him to here.
-
I got mine directly from Japan. The shop I got it from is Ikebe Gakki and I had wondeful time working out this with them, the second time I dealt with them.

Lovely! I have a ash body / one piece maple neck/ board M265 with 3 band Bartolini eq. '60 spacing... (see pic below) Congrats to the safe arrival of the Celinder! Have fun with it and I'm looking forward how it will be performing after the initial impressions. I always wanted to have a Celinder 5 string jazz...
-
@ped don't mean to deraile the htread, but which / what Atelier Z have you bought? I have a M265 and really like it.
-
Ohhh. The white one is stellar, as is the black. Wondering about the pu placement, it seems like the same spot as on the 1977. So it is not like a regulare Ian Hill w/o the bridge pu, but seems to me that with getting rid of the J they moved the P closer to the bridge, too. Any thoughts?
-
I know. Thing is I don't use traditonal tuned 4 string basses much other than playing along with some music. I play the 1977 mostly at home playing along songs from the '70-80s My NS-5XL is the main recording bass I have been using for years and custom Euro435 that I use for live (tuned AEAD) plus a pre LX Euro5 as a backup. Exchange rate is bad, covid is here so it's getting hard to justify a "new toy" even if funding it is not a problem.
-
Still hankering for a 1979. This is the prettiest I've found so far. Can't justify having it though.
-
But actually I AM from 1977 (no joke)
-
Plot twist: I don't have that table anymore! (still have the '77)
-
I too concur with @Eldon Tyrell and @ead love my 1977 too.
-
Wow! I used to own #109 which was completed a month after yours. That had full maple wings just like this. I have a couple of NS-5XL's and for me basses don't get any better than these. Good luck with the sale! -
Ever since I got this Spector NS-5XL in early 2017 this is the bass that I use the most for practice, write and record with. I do have and enjoy a selection of other basses but this is the alpha and the omega. Sounds cristal clear and full of richness and plays exquisite. I never take it to gigs as most of what I do is quite intense and would not want to put a dent on it or risking loosing it. This is the 2nd most played as I take it to every rehearsals and gigs. I can't semm to find a pic of the bass only so an actions shot for the time being. A Spector Euro435 (35" 4 string)
-
Naah, no surprise, with that 77 and 79 or yours hardly anything else 4 string would.....
-
Now that is quite reasonable! Have fun with it, certainly a great instrument!
-
I saw this on Reverb with an initial price of 6800 Euros which I thought was quite steep and after that for 4850 Eur which is still on the high side (for me at least) Hard to gauge used prices these days for US Spectors....

Fret Sticker... how do you feel about them?
Paulhauser replied to binky_bass's topic in Bass Guitars
I had a Sandberg TT5 with a 'plain' maple board and playing it live I missed the markers as we put up an intense show and the small dots on the bass edge of the board were not enough visibility-wise. So I have applied pearloid block 'inlays' and was happy with them as they were useful but always had this feeling of them being out of place being stickers. So yes Russ, I understand you.
