They are highly functional but they are also quite ungainly.That said they have never bothered me enough to change them. This is a spanking deal for the money but i'm not really in this for profit, just to get enough to pick up another bass I've put a dep on. I would rather sell on here because I've got some good deals and dealt with some nice people here but it'll have to go fleabay way next week if it doesn't shift. Tx[/quote] I have a rebop and a euro LX 5, and have started hankering for a jazz sound again. Does the US spector have a better range of tone, and would it help me to get there? I really do enjoy playing them, but the sound is wrong!

OK I had this bass valued at £500ish today by Exeter's favourite music shop. I am fairly easy on the 'ish, I'll get some nice pictures up tomorrow...

Hi Guys, This Rebop has been my gigging spare and occasional studio use for a couple of years. It is is in Black Cherry (or maybe plum! not sure!), in great condition as has spent most of its last two years in its ritter gig bag. I do love this bass, but I also have a Euro LX in the same colour, and I'm all GASed up, I really want to buy a Jazz bass, so sadly need to sell her! More here:- [url="http://www.2things.co.uk/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=14&Itemid=14"]http://www.2things.co.uk/index.php?option=...4&Itemid=14[/url] It's made of Solid European Alder, with the Original NS-Curved Body™, with a Bolt-On Neck with Pearl Dot Inlays with the Spector Deep Pocket Neck Insert™ (Like the Euro LX rather than the Legend!), and black hardware. The Pickups are EMG-HZ, and it has active EQ with a 9v (Aguilar OBP-1, I think!) preamp. This is such a nice bass! The neck feels lovely, the action is very low, so is very playable, has just had a setup and a brand new set of Elixir Superlight Nanoweb strings (I don't know why anyone would want to use anything else! Yes, they are expensive, but sound really bright and punchy and last at least 4 times longer than anything else!). It is in great condition, with a few small marks and slight buckle rash on the back, but no more than you'd expect for its age. The body is still as shiny as a new one (looks really cool, like a plum coloured jelly bean!). The Good - Lovely sound, has a much more controllable tone than the TonePump, but if you you would like it, I have a TonePump preamp which I will include in the sale (taken out of my Euro LX). Also, the previous owner put a battery compartment in the back panel of the bass, which makes battery replacement much simpler. The Bad - Well, not "bad" at all really, but the previous owner also changed the knobs from the original ones. I also have a set of the original black ones, which again I will include if you would rather change them back! The Ugly - Nothing really ugly, just two small body dings, as shown with arrows in the pics, but the neck is lovely, she plays beautifully, and looks great! The sale includes an ABS shell case, which is none too pretty, but completely functional! I really don't like shipping basses, so would much prefer you to collect, I'm near Exeter (or I can meet you somewhere on, or south of the M4, as far as East Chichester, by prior arrangement and a small fuel consideration). If shipping is the only option, then for £30 I will pack very carefully in her plastic hard case and I'll send by carrier. I will also ship overseas at your expense. I am after a Jazz style fiver, either a MIA Deluxe, Lakland, Sei, Sandberg or something of similar sound/quality with a nice narrow neck, and i would be very happy to look at a PX for the right bass...

Thats very pretty, would you sell or consider a Spector Rebop 5 black cherry? (or even my euroLX5 with EMG pre, also black cherry!)

bumpity bump!!

Thanks to Basschat this little baby is winging its way back to its original owner (its been owned by three brethren!!). Thanks Chris!!

See Topic title!!

See Topic title!!

I used to use trace elliot until, very poor needed to sell, and while I had no amp I used to borrow one of these from a friend, and used to keep asking if he would sell it to me (he wasn't a bassist BTW, he ran a PA and Disco company!), which he never would! I could not recommend it highly enough. Loud, tight, controllable sound, it is definitely worth more than £90, so an absolute steal if anyone is after a good amp, well powerfull enough for rehearsals and pub gigs...

OK Guys its gonna have to go on the 'bay on Sunday, but I'm well open to sensible offers until then!

....about to go on the 'bay, but I'm open to sensible offers until Sunday!!
