[Quent]

Hi everybody. Price already reduced but make me a close offer and UK delivery and new basic gig bag included.

For sale only, my Spector Legend NT ,Neck Thru 4.( Not to be confused with Legend bolt on models ) Carved Maple NS design body with a beautiful Bubinga top , walnut stained , with a classy matte finish to body and neck.

Mint Condition. No blemishes. 

** Adhesive Spector style crowns cover the original pearl dots **

 

Now REDUCED to £700 Option with original black tuners and knobs or £750 with the new gold

Gotoh GB707 tuners ( and all the  metal knobs have dot indicators.)

I can remove the crown markers. ( see RRP £1229 2015 in review below).

 

Serial Number W160029 (2016). Bought preowned from The Music Centre, Tavistock Street, Bedford in “ as new “ condition. Manager Ross sold it new from there in 2018 to a guitarist just trying out at playing bass but he hardly played it apparently so returned it to the same shop in 2020.

I then bought it 15/12/2020 and have only played it at home and not that often 

because I have a few basses to rotate luckily. 

Close body pics show a faint surface streak catching the light ,above fretboard end , which simply cleaned off with my Nomad matte finish detailer.

 

Selling to fund a higher end Spector now that I’m hooked on them,

thanks to this one being so impressive, responsive and easy to play. 

An extravagance on my part really because this bass ticks most of the 

boxes of certainly the Czech models (like my Euro 5LX) and they’re close to

the US ones from the Spector forum opinion on here. ( Well worth a read !! and 

a wealth of knowledge there too.)

 

This model was launched 2015 and you can see the specs in the notreble.com

link below which mentions the Bubinga top. (Grain runs along length of body)

 

Spector Introduces Legend Neck-Thru Basses for 2015 – No Treble

 

If the link doesn’t work, search “ notreble spector introduces legend neck-thru basses 2015 “

 

There’s another detailed review below (2017) from Music Radar.(RRP £1229 even back then ) a year on from mine they put quilted maple tops on.

There was an  ex display one , blue fade 2017 at BDir for £1499. 

So, for my totally mint example of this quite rarely offered bass it is priced 

fairly IMO.

I’m in no rush anyway but a close offer will do the trick no doubt.

 

Spector Legend 4 review | MusicRadar

 

The 3 piece maple Thru Neck has 2 graphite reinforcement rods alongside the truss rod  so combined with the maple body it gives this bass optimal resonance and playing characteristics for a modern, versatile sound spectrum. Rock-solid tuning is provided by the Spector Locking Bridge in combination with precise die-cast tuners. Active Aguilar OBP2 2-band tone controls and Aguilar DCB ( Dual Ceramic Bar ) pick-ups allow for a versatile range of possible tones

and plenty of punch. Vol Vol and the Bass Treble have centre detents.

The dark Rosewood fingerboard is 16” radius has 24 frets ( no wear) and a 40mm Brass nut to make the strings sing. The contoured body is very comfortably against the player and the neck profile ensures easy playing. Set with minimal neck relief. 18mm string spacing at the bridge.

 

Strung with new Rotosound RB50s 110 90 70 50 nickel plated steels (when I got it ) and they still sound lively to me. I wouldn’t go that large myself but they do seem to suit this bass. Feel and sound great and no extra effort needed.

Not much winding on the E and A post ( gold larger diam than black posts) but it stays in tune. You’ll have your own preference for strings no doubt but worth knowing what’s on it first. I’d use those again if I was keeping it. 

 

The matte finish feels grrrreat on neck AND the body too. Something about it ! 

 

Heavy duty standard Spector bridge with saddle locking screws each side.

Weight is 4.4 kg , 9lbs 11oz on my accurate digital scales so not light weight due to the maple body but in this case the benefit is the distinctive tone and sustain achieved and it’s nicely balanced standing with neck about 20 deg upwards.

 

Videos below from Youtube to give you an idea. (5 string version of my bass)

The demos don’t cover the full range of the EQ.

 

Thanks for looking.

"Selling to fund a higher end Spector now that I’m hooked on them"...

 

That happens, especially with the NT models which represent amazing vfm.

Hi Mr Greek. I’ve been enjoying your cheerful contributions recently!

I’m a bit late to the Spector fold but knew resistance was futile

once I’d played this belting NT a few times.

Put off other purchases for 2 years but cracked eventually ! 🤓>😎

Cheers. Quent

I bought my first ever Spector back in 2016. It was the exact same model, which was probably made on the same day or week as yours (serial number: W160031).
I sold it to free up funds for a Euro LX (Mike Starr). Then came Euro LTs, LE, another LX, Fortes and a NS-2. So, yes, buying a Spector puts you on course for many, many more 🙂

What a coincidence ET ! v similar paths but perhaps not beyond Czech beauties.

Presume you’d agree that these 2016 NT4s are well worth the £s ?

Superb feel, tone, sustain and punch from the Aguilar electonics.

Thanks for the other Likes you guys and on my other 2 basses up for

grabs currently ( Maruszczyk Absolution 5a and LTD Dlx J-1004 ). Cheers 🤘🤓

Absolutely, fantastic value for money, esp. if you consider what the successor model (NS Ethos) costs (approx. £1.5k-£1.7k!)
