Good day! SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD
Up for sale is a very clean 2003 Spector Euro 4 (Ignore the title, it's not an LX). Condition is 9/10 with only two small marks on the back. It plays very well and sounds just like a Spector!
I'm putting this up for sale because I simply don't like the sound of split coil P pickups. I greatly prefer humbuckers and single coil J pickups so I can't really get the sounds I'm looking for out of the bass.
The only issue is a scratchy input jack that should probably be replaced, but still functions. $10 fix if you can solder. The bass will ship in a generic TKL case, not quite a durable tolex case but definitely a step up from a gig bag. Preamp is the tonepump.
As for price, I'm looking to get: $800 + shipping costs
Price is firm.

Trades: Due to recently purchasing an L-2000 I am no longer accepting trades as I need cash. Sorry! PM me with any questions or inquiries.
Paul

If it really is from 2003 it won't be an LX either (and that's a good thing) it will have the better preamp. |

As far as the date, I'm not a Spector expert by any means. The serial number is NB2635. If anyone knows what date/model that puts this at then please let me know. |

All maple, the pre...could be anything. Mine is about 500 serial numbers higher and has a Tonepump...which I like  |

|  | So much flame, it burns............ | | Join Date: Feb 2002 Location: Las Vegas, NV. | | Judging by serial number and stated year (2003) it's a Euro4 (solid body wings, better bass IMHO  ) , not an "LX". The "LX" series didn't start until 2004.
Preamp is probably a tone pump, but a few OBP-1's were still slipping through at this point. The black box will clearly be marked Aguilar if it's an OBP-1.

I happen to not be a big fan of the laminated top look as opposed to the solid body wings of the former NSCR's and Euro4/5's. These are also incredibly close (in the case of my Euro4, maybe better  ) to my USA NS2.
Every Euro LX I've tried just didn't seem to feel as good or measure up (of course, if I owned it and put a set up on it and tweaked it over time it might be a different story). Coupled with the fact I don't care for the laminate look they all also have Tone Pumps. I've found I prefer the Aguilar or EMG pre's more.

I'm a little confused, maybe I should take this to the Spector Club thread.
Anyway, free bump for beauty of a bass. |

That's why the front wood is so nice but the back wood is so plain in comparison.
Plus you can see the laminate stripe going around the outer edge of the body. This is no big secret.
