r16ktx Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 (edited) I bought this bass about 6 months ago on BassChat to try and have never taken it out of the house. It sounds great and is set up with a really low action, but I have come to terms with the fact 5 string basses are not for me. Someone commented on the previous sale thread "This one is a pre-EURO model, full maple wings instead of the alder/walnut/maple they using in the last 10 or so years." "Since 1993 we have been producing world class basses at our Czech Republic factory. The EuroLX basses use the same USA maple neck-thru neck blank, truss rod, graphite rods, & EMG pickups as its USA counterpart so the heart of the bass is Spector USA. EuroLX exclusive features include body wings made of USA figured maple over European alder with a slice of walnut between (less weight than solid maple wings)" From; [url="http://spectorbass.com/euro5lxtrade.html"]http://spectorbass.c...ro5lxtrade.html[/url] [attachment=192738:1.jpg][attachment=192739:2.jpg][attachment=192740:3.jpg][attachment=192741:4.jpg][attachment=192742:5.jpg][attachment=192743:6.jpg][attachment=192744:7.jpg] Edited June 20, 2015 by r16ktx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damonjames Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Wow, what a stunning bass! At this price, I can't imagine it will stick around long. As you mention the NS4CR's have the solid maple wings and are apparently more true to the U.S. Spector sound, but have never had the change to compare myself.

Damonjames Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 This one also has the Spector logo, as opposed to the SSD logo. Never been a fan of the SSD logo myself. Cetera should be able to confirm the details though as he is the oracle of all things Spector! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r16ktx Posted May 25, 2015 Author Share Posted May 25, 2015 Thanks, it wouldn't be for sale if I hadn't been so impressed the NS Design radius WAV and need to raise the cash for the CR version! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowhand_mike Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 beautiful and i'll probably regret this bump, cant see it hanging around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machinehead Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 These are really top class basses from that era. I had one for many years and if I wasn't looking for a very lightweight bass (Due to back pain) I would be seriously considering buying this beauty. Frank.

lee650 Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 (edited) Still got your old one Frank Took it on tour last year and it sounded fantastic in the big concert halls, these are seriously good basses that seem to command very little money compared to the new price/quality of instrument. You really will not get a bass as good as this for £800!! Have a bump Edited May 30, 2015 by lee650 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
