    [quote name='Bassulike66' timestamp='1500501705' post='3338358'] Hey Paul, i feel it's time for a change, too many good basses out there that need to be noodled on. Hope all is well in your neck of the woods mate!? [/quote] I can certainly understand that.I've been through this before as well. There are many great instruments out there and is just happened I have my found my preferences. But it is a great game that we all play isn't it? Everything is fine here, couple of US Spectors coming my way lately so life is good, gigging, recording and all the rest.

    Mark, with this and the amber 4 on sale I hope that you know what you are doing I have to use all my strength to keep myself from making a good offer for both Good luck with the sale! (you could do some editing to the original post as the pictures are not visible)

    Sold!

    I think Spector does it right on this one [url="http://s1277.photobucket.com/user/palpurnhauser/media/spector%20ns-2p_zpsft4rpywi.jpg.html"][/url]

    This is still for sale for the time being. I can entertain cash offers as real estate prices are going up and can't keep up with the maintance of this airstrip. Boeings prefer other, less expensive airports. :-)

    [quote name='MikanHannille' timestamp='1497274564' post='3316941'] Really GAS-ing for this. [/quote] Mikan, your GAS, or more specifically, SAS (Spector Acquiring Syndrome) can easily be remedied. Contact me and rest assured we can find a way to cure you! :-)

    [quote name='ukbassboy' timestamp='1496779102' post='3313838'] I've got the 5 string version, absolutely incredible basses - sound great, look amazing and play like a dream! I went through a phase of collecting higher end basses but kinda gave up after I found these. Only thing that would get me in the buying mood again is a 5 string in a different colour! [/quote] Thank you! Still for sale!

    This is downright crazy. Someone snatch this up!

    [quote name='Al Krow' timestamp='1495011722' post='3300352'] There's one at DV247 which I should go check out, which seems to be competitively priced for a new Spector. http://www.dv247.com/guitars/spector-euro5lx-bass-guitar-black-cherry--80045?gclid=CjwKEAjw6e_IBRDvorfv2Ku79jMSJAAuiv9Y52PBwaE1_yRt-BkJHJTWXNQqdi-jI_iT_YHwolk0AhoCB03w_wcB [/quote] This is very good price for a new Spector. This one is one of the later models and in my experience the neck of these are thinner than earlier euros. Not Ibanez like paperthin neck but still not chunky at all. You should definitely try it out.The B string sounds really killer on these models. Also this one have the splitable dual coil EMG TW pickups which I prefer to their DC models.

    [quote name='lownote12' timestamp='1493792550' post='3290623'] Ohm my - can't afford but lovely. GLWTS. [/quote] [quote name='steve-bbb' timestamp='1494401823' post='3295577'] [/quote] [quote name='DarylClayton' timestamp='1494409134' post='3295663'] Great basses. I had a 5string bubinga model. Great sounds. Good luck with this one. [/quote] Thanks a lot all.

    [quote name='markbass555' timestamp='1493674202' post='3289914'] i need clean underwear what a stunning instrument [/quote] Thank you! You'd need another if you heard it :-)

    Then try the soapbar housed EMG P's. They are essentially a P shape hidden in a soapbar housing. I use the 40P5 in my Spector and sounds badass. http://www.emgpickups.com/40p5.html Check out the related pdf's in the right, the first one (40 instructions) has a drawing on how the coils are inside the soapbar in different models. Available original P or reversed (a la Spector) edit: the require routing for sure, but they are P without looking like one :-)

    Still for sale!

    [quote name='ambient' timestamp='1493933098' post='3292024'] I'm using D'Addario nickels, I think it's currently a .024. [/quote] Valueable info, I just went to D'Addario's site and found that they indeed do .028 and .024 wound bass strings (single strings). I wasn't aware of these. Thanks!

    [quote name='ambient' timestamp='1493911227' post='3291782'] That's the problem, plenty of flat wound strings being made, but the high F is the problem. [/quote] What's the gauge you are looking for as a high F? I always used 0.020 and can't remember I ever came upon a wound one, only plain steel ones. I don't think anyone makes wound strings near 0.020, flat or roundwound.

    [quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1493841912' post='3291248'] I was considering which year my YOB bass would be... I was born in 1962 but my birthday is 28th December which, I suspect, means that most factories would have been closed for the rest of the year. This means any "YOB" bass built in '62 would be older than I am. At least the majority of basses built in '63 would have been built in 12 months from my birth. Make sense? [/quote] If you were born in 1962, then the YOB bass is a '62. '63 makes no sense for me even if you were born so close to the end of the year.

    [quote name='lojo' timestamp='1493837685' post='3291191'] (perhaps the 10 page form weeds the serious ones out , perhaps it covers all the things they've had issues with before?) Anyway , you vote with your feet and it seems you'll go elsewhere . I'm not saying they aren't arrogant , just that it's nice all our small businesses aren't like American food outlets on the face [/quote] For make that 10 page form makes a certain sense, whoever fills it out most probably got his / her mind together in terms of what s/he wants. Also serves as a written proof. I'm not saying this can't be done in an other way, because it seems dozens of well respected luthiers make customers happy with more traditional methods. As for customer service I think it always nice to be on the helpful side. If one takes the time to write back he might as well could've make Binky happy with a straigt and helpful answer. It wouldn't have taken much more effort even if he is not a customer - as of yet (and Drozd lost one potential one in the process) ( I really like Spector basses and one of the reasons I respect them is PJ Rubal, who is the vice president and takes care of customer service. I had inqueried him about a 2nd hand Spector and he replied back in a very short time with helpful info and more. He really took care of me and I wasn't even a 'customer' And I'm sure many here have similar great stories with other brands, too. )

    Really like the neck and the fretboard choice of woods. Also Bris is a great guy to deal with!

    It's a pity that you had this experience. I quite like some of his bass designs, and I was contemplating having one ordered some years ago. I still receive his newsletters and occasionally check the website and can't help to see that the way of the communication is going into a direction that I find 'over the top' sometimes. It's just too much for me. But I don't doubt that he creates some great basses. Maybe he had a bad day? (not that it is an excuse for anything)

    String spacing is 18mm at the bridge.

    [quote name='Mastodon2' timestamp='1493750544' post='3290447'] My Euro 5LX, purchased from another member on here. What an instrument! [/quote] Stunning! I had one just like yours in a four string version

    [quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1493751730' post='3290456'] Amazing colour....pretty sure nobody else is going to walk in with the same bass [/quote] Yes, thats quite unlikely...especially with the knobs removed 😀

    For sale is my Yamaha TRB6PII bass. This is the top of the line Yamaha six string, made in Japan, now discontinued. The build quality and the wood choices are on par with many boutique basses. It has everything that could be asked from a bass really. The bass is in very good condition (see the pics), plays well and works perfectly. Some key points: - 35" scale, ebony fingerboard, maple/mahogary 5 pice neck - light ash body with figured maple top and back - individual bridges with piezzo, 3 band EQ + a piezzo blend control - cca 5 kgs The price includes a Yamaha hardshellcase and shipping within the EU. I'm not really looking for a trade unless it is a US Spector NS5 or NS6 or a fretless Euro5. Now let the pictures speak..... (if you want me to take a pic of any specific areas, let me know) [url="http://s1277.photobucket.com/user/palpurnhauser/media/IMG_2524_zpslum32xr2.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1277.photobucket.com/user/palpurnhauser/media/IMG_2525_zpsgwbwezi1.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1277.photobucket.com/user/palpurnhauser/media/IMG_2526_zpsnfsrmfd4.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1277.photobucket.com/user/palpurnhauser/media/IMG_2527_zpsimiztl85.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1277.photobucket.com/user/palpurnhauser/media/IMG_2528_zpsetxqhsft.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1277.photobucket.com/user/palpurnhauser/media/IMG_2529_zpslcn67xh8.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1277.photobucket.com/user/palpurnhauser/media/IMG_2531_zpsmtfdppsj.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1277.photobucket.com/user/palpurnhauser/media/IMG_2532_zpsdae8gdvs.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1277.photobucket.com/user/palpurnhauser/media/IMG_2533_zpsaeuhjsb7.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1277.photobucket.com/user/palpurnhauser/media/IMG_2534_zpsdtakmqf4.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1277.photobucket.com/user/palpurnhauser/media/IMG_2535_zps7k8tniit.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1277.photobucket.com/user/palpurnhauser/media/IMG_2537_zpsjrvfw0y5.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1277.photobucket.com/user/palpurnhauser/media/IMG_2538_zpss8i0hyou.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1277.photobucket.com/user/palpurnhauser/media/IMG_2539_zpsyexwlhaz.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1277.photobucket.com/user/palpurnhauser/media/IMG_2540_zpsxpn5srkm.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1277.photobucket.com/user/palpurnhauser/media/IMG_2541_zps68mj16wu.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1277.photobucket.com/user/palpurnhauser/media/IMG_2542_zpsspt2r5xn.jpg.html"][/url]

    [quote name='spectoremg' timestamp='1493507528' post='3288890'] Thanks, they're both lovely instruments. [/quote] Thanks you! They are, indeed. I think these Czech made Spectors are some of the best value basses around.
