Annoying Twit Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 (edited) I've just seen two Spear basses on sale second hand in Leicester. Both of them seemed "interesting" to me, but not something I'd want to buy right now. The first is a Spear Flextool bass, which is a Jazz looking bass, with all of J, P, and MM pickups, and four knobs (whatever they do). It doesn't have the slightly Jamaican looking colour scheme as per the ones I found online.

[url="http://www.fretmusic.co.uk/spear-s-2-6-string-bass-guitar-walnut-top-c-584-p-1-pr-17882.html"]http://www.fretmusic.co.uk/spear-s-2-6-str...1-pr-17882.html[/url] I don't know if this info is of use to anyone, but if anyone wants to know the actual shop location, PM me. The Flextool is being sold for £200 which I believe is overpriced compared to a new online price of £250, but the S2 is being sold for £250, which I think is a good price. (Hoping I identified the model numbers correctly, they certainly look to be the right basses).

I normally love singlecuts aswell.[/quote] I think it looks quite nice. Really distinctive, though often that leads to love it or hate it opinions. Though, I thought it looked a bit ... somehow "cheaper" than I expected when I saw it in real life up close.

thisnameistaken Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 I love that nukeburst on the Jazz-thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WonderHorse Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 The first bass looks cool in those reggae colours. Massive pickup overload, though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The JazzisionMan here isn't green and yellow, I think it was a plain black with the same pickguard. Or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redstriper Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 I'd like to know how these sound and feel, but can't find any reviews. Has anyone played one ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crez5150 Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 I tired one a while back in Southampton..... thought it was a pile of crap which is a shame as I really wanted one.... still may suit others but not me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ancient Mariner Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 Spear guitars don't have a great rep for quality, although they usually look 'interesting'. That may well carry through to the bass lines as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annoying Twit Posted January 1, 2010 Author Share Posted January 1, 2010 The six-string bass has sold. TBH, while Spear basses may not be of the very highest quality, it's hard to get a six string through neck bass for £250, so the value may be there. The JazzicisionMan bass is still there.
