Mikey D Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 (edited) Bought at the end of January. I've only used this bass for a couple of gigs as I really am a fretless man, nothing against the bass, its great, but it just doesn't get used much! Definitely too nice to be sitting on a bass stand, although it does look good (IMO). • Colour: Ultra Amber • Original Spector NS curved body style • Graphite Reinforced 3pc Bolt-On Rock Maple Neck • Alder body. FM models feature Figured Maple Top, EX models feature 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. • Strung with an almost new set of strings (Think they are Rotosound Swing 66, blue ends) • RRP in Spector list $2099, tend to go for £650-£750 new depending where you get it. As my bass teacher put it: "That is a lot of bass and wood for the money" and now you can get it even cheaper. Negatives: Slight not very deep 'chip' on headstock as can be seen on photo, not as visible in the flesh. One/two indents on back of neck very low down around the 2nd fret (Not actually that bad, but just to let you know) Positives: Everything else! Basically as new, great sound, very playable, fresh strings and a new setup. Genuine reason for sale: In addition to not really playing fretted, I'm taking a year out of my studies and moving to Ireland for a bit and then doing a bit of travelling and can't take everything with me. I obviously need to fund it all as well! (That's why there is a LOT of my main gear up for sale-recording gear, drumkit, hardware, cymbals, my jazz beard isn't for sale, but we can haggle-check my signature for links to other posts.)

Mikey D Posted June 30, 2008 Author Share Posted June 30, 2008 OK, no longer on eBay as they pulled it from the listings (Along with a lot of other things) as I had said "for sale elsewhere" in the post. D'oh! Offers before I relist!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey D Posted July 1, 2008 Author Share Posted July 1, 2008 I know Cetera is Biased, but it really is a lovely bass. £455 and I'll even bake some fresh bread to go with some tea when you come and pick it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
