ON HOLD: Spector RST Euro Bass 4 – Ultralight & Stunning (Super lightweight @ 6.5lbs) - *SOLD* £1300 Plymouth Devon

[Raslee]

NOW SOLD Reluctantly letting go of my beautiful Spector RST Euro bass. I never thought I’d part with this, but after months of reflection, I’ve realised I reach more often for the jazz-width neck of my Sandberg Superlight, but other than the neck, I prefer everything about the Spector!

 

This lovely Spector RST Euro in Sienna Stain Matte was my first step into the world of ultralight basses, weighing in at only 6.5lbs. If you’ve ever struggled with back or shoulder issues, you’ll know how much of a game-changer that is and despite its featherweight build, it’s packed with quality:

 

• Aguilar pickups paired with the OB2 preamp deliver a vast palette of tones. I tried a Sadowsky pre for the passive options, but quickly returned to the OB2 – it just sings.
• Plays like a dream, with effortless versatility for live or studio work. The first basses I've ever had to raise the action, as it was so buzz-free low.
• Visually, it really is a stunner – a roasted neck, lightweight Gotoh tuners,  a brass nut, MoP inlays, sleek lines, and a premium finish that oozes quality craftsmanship. Like all lighter woods, it’s picked up a few honest gigging dings, but nothing that affects playability or vibe.
• Bought from BassBro about a year ago for around £1,800, and it's worth every penny. Comes with the official Spector gig bag.

In reflection of the used market and the few dings, I'll sell for £1,300 – an absolute bargain for this calibre of instrument, and if it doesn't sell, I won't be too upset!

 

I'm in Plymouth - Devon, and around the Bristol area last weekend of Nov. Happy to discuss courier options if needed, not really interested in trades other than a Markbass M58R 12" @ 8 ohm cab, or the same type M58R cab 2x10" but @ 4 ohm, plus cash my way. 

 

....having just checked back for typos,  I may change my mind about this sale 😂

Wow, gorgeous.  Sort of fortunately, I really struggle with the ergonomics of Spector long-scales but the weight of this almost defies belief and a fantastic finish!

I wish they did these with the Wimbish neck profile - I'd have had one already - to go with my own Sandberg superlight!

 

Crazy idea - is it worth asking Shuker or someone for a quote to reprofile the neck?

£1,300 is not enough for something as good as this

Thats a good question. Its easy enough to take a bit of depth out of the 'shoulders' of a neck. Its also fairly straightforward to make a neck shallower from front to back as long as you have enough clearance from the underneath of the truss rod. I think though that the Wimbish ones are 1.5" wide at the nut and the standard ones are 1.61" (thats from memory so I might be wrong on the exact decimals), so that would be quite a job, reducing the width at the neck and then in turn changing the taper of the neck from where it joins the body. I'd be interested to know if anyone has had this done?

Lovely bass by the way. I'm on the lookout for a slim necked Spector. They have a georgous US relic'd NS2 with the thin neck at Bass Direct, but its the thick end of seven grand, which is an awful lot of money...
