FS/FT Spector NS5 JH Fretless

bobunit · #1 01-13-2010, 10:06 AM

USA made Spector 5 string fretless.
Specs:
2 piece quilted maple body in black cherry oil stain finish
maple neck with unlined pau ferro fingerboard
black gotoh tuners
black hipshot B style bridge
Schaller strap locks
EMG BQC 3 band preamp (9v setup)
EMG 40J Jazz pickup
EMG 40TW pickup
Spector hardshell case included.

It is in great shape with the exception of some minor wear above the neck pickup. The weight is right at 9lbs which I find very comfortable considering the neck-thrus are 10+. Balance is good in sitting and standing positions. The tone is what you would expect from a Spector and a bit more. The TW pickup is useful for switching from a 'single coil' Jazz style burp to a 'steroids' humbucker Jazz sound. The preamp is very versatile. The midrange, although not real aggressive, is very useful for refining the sound.

So why am I selling... Well, it's 35" scale. Not a major issue, but an issue nonetheless. It doesn't 'fit' with my other Spectors. I am fickle. I have GAS. I... Well, you know. That said, I am asking $1400.00 shipped within the good ol' US of A. Trades, well, I am not actively looking for anything, but you are more than welcome to run anything by me. Large or small I will consider em' all.

+/- cash.
Stuff I am interested in... Looking for a ZOOM H4, iGiG bag, Boss Reverb pedal, Mac Laptop, Spector neck-thrus (34" scale fretted/fretless), I've got an itch for a Roscoe, Mesa hybrids, Neo-cabs, etc.
Here are a couple of quick pics. I will post some sexier pics tonight. Thanks.

For those that asked, it is not a discontinued model, however, some of the specs are (quilted maple wings, jazz pickups, etc).
Bump for hopefully better pictures this evening.

Off topic but the color on the blue one is amazing, I'm certainly a sucker for blue.

Any interest in an NS Design CR-4M electric upright (Czech model) with piezos and magnetic pups?

Thought I'd ask...

I already sold the green one.

As for the other one, it would cost you...

1,000,000 dollars!

Mwahhh! Mwahhh!

Of course, if you buy the fretless, you get tons of Mwahhh for much less moolah!

and a bump for a fretless!

Not likely, but we here know how G.A.S. can be...

vates · #14 02-03-2010, 02:22 PM

that is exactly my point

let me get this straight. A US Spector for less than 1500 bucks to your front door (more than likely). Why is this still here? Your collection is stunning, BTW.

Yes, that's right and I might be talked into FREE shipping.

Thanks, but the picture is old. There are many that are no longer in the collection.

There's nothing like playing out in the deep woods to the woodland creatures with a full PA.

BTW, I had just bought that bass that day, in time to head off in the car, drive 3 hours to the gig, set up, and play it for the first time. It was quite a risk not really having played it before, but man was I in heaven.

I am going on a road trip starting April 1st and I need a laptop. What i would like is a Macbook, however, I will consider a Windows based laptop. It would need to be WiFi capable. So if ya got something that might fit the bill, hit me up.
