Archetype Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 (edited) Hey everyone, Selling on this lovely Spector bass. I got it as part of a trade on here, and as nice as it is, its just not working with my wrists. Its a shame though because the tone is fantastic and playability is fantastic IMHO. Anyway, Specs are Original Spector NS curved body style Graphite Reinforced 3pc Bolt-On Rock Maple Neck Alder body with exotic Zebra Wood Top 24 Fret Rosewood Fingerboard, mother of pearl Spector inlays, 35" scale Black Hardware, including aluminum Spector Locking Bridge EMG-HZ passive humbuckers, Spector TonePump active tone controls. Boost only, internal voltage doubler. Really nice bass with a small crack in the lacquer on the back below the neck (I struggled to spot this even though it was pointed out) and a chip in the lacquer just after the neck joint. Its no bigger than my pinkie nail. Open to trades, ideally a Epiphone Thunderbird pro 5, or a line 6 POD X3 Live. But open to offers on 4 and 5 strings. Or £550 shipped.

Really nice bass with a couple small crack in the lacquer on the back below the neck (I struggled to spot this even though it was pointed out) and a chip in the lacquer between the neck pickup and the neck base, Smaller than my pinkie and a tad wider than the B string None of which has any impact on the playability of the bass and could easily be fixed if needed. Over all its a fantastic bass and deserves a good home, its just not for me. Looking for £600 shipped and will even through in a gig bag. Would consider trades for Epiphone Thunderbird Pro V (Colour depending) and cash. (better pics to follow, these are the ones I was originally sent.)

Esteban Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Would you consider part ex for Epiphone Thunderbird pro four string? I'm thinking about selling it as I'm after a Spector. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archetype Posted July 14, 2011 Author Share Posted July 14, 2011 Back up now that I'm back from the holidays. Updates as I would consider part trades for 5 strings, especially an Epiphone Thunderbird Pro V, and Line 6 Pod X3 Live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain black Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 These are great basses. Build quality is fantastic. My old one had the best neck I've ever played. Alas, my gas got the better of me and it moved on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like Spectors just don't suit some people. Shame, because they are gorgeous instruments. Good luck with the sale! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archetype Posted July 22, 2011 Author Share Posted July 22, 2011 I think its down to playing style. I prefer something with a bit more of a wrist support. But it is a lovely bass! G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
