Truckstop Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 (edited) Hello all, Im putting my Korean made Spector NS2-b up for sale. The keen eyed amongst you may have noticed that this is extraordinarily similar to the the one that Theo (Dosi Y'Anarchy) had up for sale last month, and you'd be right! Im afraid that I've found that it's really not for me. I've found that I like my traditionally styled and ordinary sounding basses and it's just a bit too off the wall for me; which is a shame because I think it looks amazing, but I just feel a bit silly everytime I put it on! So, it's in exactly the same condition as when I bought it for £225 only a few weeks ago, so here's a link to Theo's for sale thread (I hope you don't mind?) as his photos look great and there's loads of interesting and helpful information about the bass in the thread: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/160883-sold/page__p__1473304__hl__spector__fromsearch__1#entry1473304"]http://basschat.co.u..._1#entry1473304[/url] It's in pretty good condition as you can see from the photos. The neck is wonderful and all the notes ring true everywhere on the fretboard. It has a lovely jazz tone from the solo'd bridge pup and can also do a nice warm P thump from the neck pup. I would describe the neck as having more jazz dimensions than anything else, nice and fast! I would like this to be picked up by its new owner, or, I'm happy to deliver this personally within 250 miles for a bit of petrol money and a cup of tea. I dont have anything to wrap it in and I don't like waiting around for couriers and neither do you! I'm interested in a few trades. I really want another Ibanez Blazer; don't mind what condition it's in as long as it's in good playing order. Other vintage Yamaha and Ibanez trade offers will also be seriously considered. Again, not fussed about condition, but I'd like to be able to play it! I'm also after either a 2x12 or 2x15 cabinet. Depending on whether my Fender Jazz 5 gets sold, I'll be able to put a bit of money towards a cab that costs more than the value of the Spector, but we'll see! Stuff like EBS MicrobassII, Sansamp BDI etc would also be quite cool, anything like that will be seriously considered. Things like top quality gig bags (iGig etc) would be acceptable trade bait (+cash), nice straps, Auralex Gramma pads etc would also be good stuff to offer me. Need to get my rig nice and professional! Thanks for reading so far and I look forward to your questions/offers!

Truckstop Posted January 25, 2012 Author Share Posted January 25, 2012 Hello Skezza, Yes it is a nice looking bass! Looking on a map to see where Staffordshire is and I'd be happy to drive that and deliver it to you for £20 if you're seriously interested? Have a think and get back to me.

Truckstop Posted January 26, 2012 Author Share Posted January 26, 2012 Or, "How more black could this be? And the answer is 'none...more black'" By the way, I was just thinking that this would be an amazing trade for your T-40's Truckstop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cocco Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Sorry bro, my T-40s aren't going anywhere fast, I'm literally planning on being buried with them at this point in time If it could grow a moustache, it would have handle bars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
