JamieBenzies Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 In a shop in Plymouth I found a very curious Spector bass guitar a while back, at the time I didn't think much of it, but looking back it may have been a brilliant deal. So the point of this post is; Does any one know what this Spector is and how valuable it is? It's a 4 string with the normal Euro shape (I think) in a scarey sparkly gold finish, It most notably only had one Humbucker and nothing else. Can you name it?

WHUFC BASS Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 How much was it? Price would normally be a good indicator of the model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gafbass02 Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 I remember them coming out. I think the top horn was slightly different. I thbk it was about ten years ago, I forget the name but they were as I recall spectors first 'budget' model. Gold sparkle, single soapbar. I think it was reviewed in bassist. A precursor to the legends and other budget stuff that followed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 sounds like it could be one of the Performer range? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
