FS: Spector 5LX TW Amber

Sign in to disble this ad
ULTRA AMBER - I have had this a month, bought new. I recorded a demo with a band and was gonna do a summer tour but the company denied funds to do so. It never left my studio, not a mark or scratch on it. I drilled the B out a little on the bridge so my strings would fit. New set of D'Addario 170's on it. No case but I have the box it came in and will be pack to my standards.

Price Dropped to $1100 shipped.

I'm curious about these basses, I've never gotten my hands on one. Does the body curve like a Warwick thumb?

CURVE

The Warwick curves like the Spector, if you catch my drift. Spector originated it, Warwick helped themselves to it.

And the curves are awesome. I have a Euro 5 Cherry burst. Sweet basses. Somebody will be very happy with this one.

ALL PM's REPLIED...

1. This is essentially a new bass... lower hours than a guitar center hanger that hasn't been setup properly and who knows what's been done to it

2. I played it for 5 hours tops in the studio in my house!! so never left the confines of "chateau on bass"

3. TW's: Goes from humbucker growl to jazz goodness in two pulls, so essentially you have 4 pickup config's to work with...

4. The B is one of the best in the business

5. Tone Pump new version with the gain attenuator

Many questions on this. It is Ultra Amber, the picture looks really red, I will take a new one later.

D'Addario B strings never fit in the bridge on any of my Euros' either. Others worked easily. Nice bass, good price.

Mine do, but then again I'm using a .125, not the usual .130 or larger that comes in prepackaged D'Addario sets.
Simple fix (Don't file your bridges ):
Just squeeze the string a little just above the ball (where it sits in the anchor slot/yoke) with a flat/regular pliars.
Easy and works like a charm.

Bump.
