    Spector Pulse II 5 string Ultra Violet with upgraded Aguilar OBP-2 pre-amp - *SOLD*

    in Basses For Sale

    Posted · Edited by mattbass6

    Selling my 5 month old Spector Pulse II 5 in Ultra Violet. The only reason for selling is that in real terms, I require a 6 string bass, so something has to go to fund that purchase. 

     

    This bass is in immaculate condition. There are no dinks, dents or scratches. Never gigged, rehearsed twice, played in my studio, and kept in a smoke free house in a flight case (case not included in sale). The neck is straight, action low, and the roasted maple neck is a dream to play, plus super stable. It has been upgraded from the Tone Pump Jnr to an Aguilar OBP-2 pre-amp which was professionally fitted. This has transformed the versatility of this bass. A necessary upgrade IMHO. I’ve also put on Dunlop strap locks. This bass, and this range, punches well above its weight. Stunningly constructed, plays incredibly well, and looks amazing. 

     

    It comes with the original box and tools/lead. Pick up preferred, but will meet within 50 miles of Cardiff. No trades unless you have the right 6 string bass in the same condition. Any further questions, please feel free to get in touch. Cheers 🫡✨

     

    Here are the full specifications of the bass.

     

    Features:

     

    • Fully contoured Spector NS body design
    • Solid Swamp Ash body is lightweight and resonant.
    • Quilted maple top
    • Bolt-on Roasted Maple offers improved neck stability
    • Active EMG pickups & Aguilar OBP-2 noise-free operation.
    • Unique matte finishes

    Did You Know?

    • The EMG pickups used in this model are the very same Spector uses in their higher end Euro models, and even in some USA instruments.
    • Macassar Ebony is a new fingerboard wood for Spector. Slightly softer than traditional ebony, this wood yields a balanced & focused tone that's perfect for low frequencies.

    There are 4 I regret selling. The first is my first ever bass, a black Marlin Slammer. I wish I had that still so it could hang on my studio wall. Secondly my refinished 1964 Precision bass. It was completely refinished but still a little tatty. Thirdly, my Yamaha TRB6p Mk 1 bass. I loved that thing so much and still can’t remember why I moved it on. I played some very big gigs with that beauty. Never found it after much searching. Finally, my Mike Lull PJ5. A stunning bass and another bass that I played some cool shows with. All 4 have huge sentimental meaning for me. What a plonker. The things we do eh?

    Could you get away with a hipshot D tuner or have a bass strung BEAD?

    I did think about this, but it’s also about not swapping basses live, unless I really have to. I may as well just stick to the 5 string. Thanks though ☺️

    I’m not sure if this is the right place to post, so please feel free to move to the relevant thread if that is the case. In a nutshell, I’m pretty much done with 5 and 6 string basses but the band I’m in, does require a low B on occasions. Is there a pedal that can be used that tracks well, for a 4 string bass. I’m so utterly comfortable with my current basses as far as feel, string spacing, scale length and sound, I’m loathed to use anything else. Any help is appreciated. Cheers ☺️

    So I was attempting to turn the truss rod on my NS5H2 and couldn’t get it to move with the supplied “Allen key”. In fact there’s not enough width in the slot to turn it anyway!

     

    You probably know this already but for those that don’t know, T handled wrenches (like the Fender ones) are available for a few £ and using that it shifted easily!

     

    It only needed a quarter turn and the relief is now perfect 👍🏻

    Great idea. What is the exact size, and do you have a link to the one you purchased please? Thank you ☺️
