Kramers are worth 2k right? So Jeff has it priced accordingly. The rest of the deal is between him and seller. It seems like a lot of people knew about this bass but never posted here to give anyone a heads up? However on the flip side, not everyone has a chance to bag the ILLUSIVE Kramer era NS-2 so......ally's well that ends well my friends., we all walk our own paths....

And personally if I was a so called Spector artist I wouldn't have 10% of my basses Spector and the other 90% other stuff, kind of defeats the purpose. To each his own. I would put my life in a firefighters hands before some guy using a company for self profit. I am going to order a bass with my discount "Spector artist" with the sole purpose of reselling it at a profit....haha

Just seems odd to me that everyone starts talking about how much JF got it for once Jeff is trying to sell it. Does anyone actually know for a fact that is what he paid? Maybe the dude likes everyone to think he's the deal king.

Regarding the Kramer, the fella selling it was honest about what he was doing, and Jeff is one of the most honest people in our little family. 100% real no BS type person. |

No skeletons in this closet.....there are a few shaddy guys on here. Behind your back they will tell people that you are trying to sell a bass thats messed up at the same time PM you that they want to trade for it.....If its so messed up why you want it?. Why???Because they want to screw you and get it cheap with no competition.

If that was the case, it is what it is right? Whatever the seller choose to sell the bass for is their call. If the price wasn't worth it no one would have bought it right? So in closing I meant the bass is worth 2k right? What more does anyone need to say? Jeff is selling a bass he bought from another seller and the price is within range of said bass.....it's legit

Very excited. Going to casa de Limaguy tomorrow, today actually! Sam is going to hook up my HAZ so I can continue on to rehearsal. One of the main reasons I play Spector. The people! Not just the owners and employees, though they are fantastic, but the people who play them and are passionate about them. I have made some good friends, thanks to these exceptional instruments.

Jeff is the first guy to get upset when someone tries to pull a quick one regarding charging too much for something.
And he's a very generous, good hearted person. I'll never forget what he did for Chris Loe. Jeff is passionate and very strongly opinionated, but he's honest and he's not going to try and do anyone wrong.
Oh. And you probably shouldn't make him mad.

|  | The Spector Godfather | | Join Date: Apr 2011 Location: Staten Island, NYC | | | This blue Kramer NS-2 in question was being sold for 2K on facebook and was eventually listed on ebay for 2K and that is where Jeff saw it and purchased it from.
By the way Jeff is not on facebook.
This seller who once bragged that we wouldn’t believe how cheap he got the bass for.
And then later mentioned $500
(those posts have been deleted from the Spector Club when he decided to sell it for 2K)
This same seller also claimed last year that he purchased a Complete Hartke 4x10 & 1X15 rig for $199 and that came with a separate 1X15 Behringer.
So we either have a guy who likes to exaggerates how cheap he has purchased something for or got lucky and made a $1,500 profit.
Jeff is selling the bass for less then he paid for it just like he always does. I have never seen Jeff try to make even a penny from a re-sale.
Remember Jeff is also the same person who paid over 2K for brand new white Ian Hill and sold it to smadder for the Chris donation for a major loss.
I don’t think its cool that anyone should refer to a previous price of a bass especially when it is up for sale in the classifieds section.
Remember I am like “Rain Man” I can probably list at least 20 used Spectors that were bought and sold in the last 5 months and tell you who made and lost money on each sale.
Out of respect to Jeff I think the entire $500 quote should be removed by the mods.

I put a TP in a NS 2000-5 with a blend and I also did a Rebop a couple of months before that.
There are two different TP's with adjusters they both work but the wiring is different, the wiring is even a different color. |

Unless your super human and can turn both volume pots down the same amount (on the fly) your perfect setting is kaput. |

Looking at the mechanism, I don't think they would be reasonably able to make the M4 Xtender with the hole at the 6 o'clock position. Re: $500 Kramer NS2:
FWIW, I thought that bass was white?!
