Sean Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 (edited) Hi All Due to some unforeseen circumstances I'm selling my two Spector Euros. Both are fitted with John East U-Retro preamps and both come with full aluminium/ply heavy duty flight cases. The light here today is rubbish for photography of anything let alone shiny basses so please excuse the substandard pics. They both have Schaller strap lock buttons. This one as you can see is the 5-string. It's a maple thru-neck and has Alder/Walnut/Poplar Burl sandwich wings and it's 8.2 lbs - very light for 5-string Spector. The U-Retro on this one was specially made by John East for this instrument - instead of the usual three stacked pots, it has two stacked pots (bass/treble and mid/sweep) and separate volume and blend knobs. It does not have the toggles fitted as these are effectively redundant in an EMG equipped Spector with a preamp. It has EMG 40DC pickups and has an absolutely huge tone. The U-Retro makes it extremely versatile and it's good for any style of music. String spacing is 17mm at the bridge and it's a 35" scale. I'm offering this at [b] £1000 [/b]as it has the U-Retro fitted and a full flight case. [b]No trades.[/b] Edited March 31, 2010 by Sean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kurcatovium Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 When I see this, I'm proud I'm from Czech Republic. (Then I turn on the TV and there are those politics and I'm pretty ashamed again.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golchen Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 So many great basses come up for sale here. If I had the dosh I'd be in like a flash for that Spector - what a bootifull bass! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Thanks for the concern. Nothing too drastic, thankfully. And nothing that can't be solved by turning some gear into cash. I'm going to miss 'em but with a bit of luck I'll be shopping again next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ashevans09 Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 (edited) The moment my Pedulla goes I'm so here... this is exactly what i want to replace it with. How does the U retro affect tone? Cos I love the absolute bite of the Spector tone. Does it diminish it in any way? Edited March 18, 2010 by ashevans09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Spector should offer it as an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreeneKing Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 I'm not around these parts much nowadays but just a bump to say Spector plus John East is a great bass made better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
