[color=#ff0000][size=6]Traded/Sold - thanks for the interest folks![/size][/color]




[size=5]Hello people - For sale here is a perfect condition hand built Spector NS2 USA Series Bolt-on model signed by Mr Spector himself! [font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]This is a one of kind bass, hand built in Woodstock in New York State in the the USA by Stuart Spector Design. This bass is at the highest end of custom instruments and represents the culmination of over 30 years of excellence from Spector and is faultless to play. All the usual specifications plus a unique Buckeye burl top make this a very desirable and beautiful instrument.[/font]This bass is in shop condition - absolutely immaculate condition - cannot find a single blemish. The case is also perfect. The list price for this bass was £2999.

I am after either a cash sale, or possibly trade for a Fender - preferably Custom Shop. I am based in Epping Forest - near Junction 26 of the M25. Happy for people to come and try. Would prefer not to have to post it, but happy to meet up half way (as long as not too ridiculous!).[/size]

Details (nicked from elsewhere!!) -

My original photos came out a bit small - so I have taken a few more today with my mobile phone (!!)....and started a flikr account thing - so let's see how this works -

[url="https://www.flickr.com/photos/148626985@N03/shares/Q6kVrp"]https://www.flickr.c...3/shares/Q6kVrp[/url]

Can someone confirm whether they can actually see any photos please! Thanks :blink:
