The neck is slick on this one.....I believe it to be a tad thinner front to back than the natural one I had....

Dear God.
You know how sometimes some instruments just "have" it. Well, this certainly does have that and more.
First off, for being almost 30 years old, this bass is in near MINT condition. Absolutely babied and well taken care of.

Then there's the fact that the wood has settled during all that time period which makes is resonate tremendously and last but not least, the USA 9V circuit from back then... Sound simply incredible!
No recording will do this bass justice, it must be listened through an amp and one must experience the thump that it give you.

Absolutely gorgeous bass in both looks and sound!!! Tons of "Mojo"!!!!!!!
This was going to get a black gloss finish, but I think I am keeping it as is...




More photos in the new thread later on.

Thats awesome, I like black spectors too, but that cherry burst is HOT!

Whats the Serial Number if you dont mind me asking?

Man, I read the description, got excited since thats what I want to do to a Rebop, then when I tracked down the FS thread I saw it was a 5

Oh well someday I'll find a rebop 4 with good upgrades

Yep, the colour stays. It's much nicer than I thought it was.
The nest one is either a stained black or a gloss black...we shall see. It will be yet another NS-2, that's for sure!

I think it's a combination of a few things. Yes the old electronics may have aged well, or maybe were just made with some sort of different ingredient back then. But the wood, being almost 30 years old has settled nicely. So nice that this resonates like an exploding bell. And that is what makes this one "the one".

I think it should go for $600. Kramer era neck, solid maple body, It's been upgraded with regular EMG actives which is a necessary upgrade to me. Looks to be in great shape.

Good luck!

Wow. That seems almost too nice to even play regularly. I would buy that and keep it in its case another 25 years.

For those who don't remember, this bass was being sold by gentleman in my area who was a doctor and no longer played. It hardly was played since he purchased it from Manny's Music in 1986.

He was having a hard time selling it on Talkbass since he first had it way over priced and then had no feedback.

He asked if anyone in the area was a Spector expert who could check the bass out and try to help him sell it.

I PM'd him and he was at my house a few hours later.

He actually offered to leave the bass at my house on July 5th. I had it sold to Omer by July 9th.

I shipped it to Seattle on July 25th. I spent 3 weeks with this bass and it was just amazing. That is one of the reasons why I had shipped it to Omer's friend even though Omer wasn't going to pick it for a while. I just had to get it out of my house or I would have never been able to let it go.

Congrats and I am so glad he was finally able to get it.
