Actually the pics make it look worse in person from a few feet away its hard to see. But I believe in full discloser and no surprises....want to laugh?...the guy tells me he shipped it double boxed.

....yeah one box on top of the other...seriously double boxed???.....This dude is a GENIUS!!!!

Nah Jeff, you're not nuts...you bought a bass and decided it really didn't fit right.

Just wish I had $$$ for it!

I guess technically it was double boxed, in that he used 2 boxes, but yikes! Nice single strand of duct tape to try to hold them together. I'm surprised UPS would even take it like that. $1.00 worth of packing tape and 3 minutes could have made it a lot better. Luck it didn't get really damaged. Says a lot for Spector cases. Did it have the "Spector by Kramer" case? I got one of those cases for my NS-2A 22 years ago and that case has been "TO WAR" and although the case looks like crap, never had anything happen to the bass.

It looks like the one from Facebook. I thought he was asking like $2000

Still have my OHSC for my NS-2A from 1988 and it's worn but still holds up fine. Recently had to fly with her and checked it and had no issues at all.

Yep, that one...

RichardCranium · #**177** 11-17-2012, 02:23 PM

So I'm in the market for a new 5er and I would love a Spector but just can't deal with the tight string spacing does anyone have any opinions? Budget is a concern too so far I'm considering a Lakland 55-01 or a DJ5 or maybe an MTD Kingston KZ5 or a Brubaker Brute I just don't have the finances for a $3000 bass. A smaller body and light weight are a requirement because I have the physique of a 3rd grader! Some version of a JJ pickup setup would be nice too.

I previously had a Schecter Diamond P5 and it was just too heavy and bulky plus I wasn't thrilled with the sound. I'm in a mostly country band now and a 5er would be a real advantage.

Jasonger · #**178** 11-17-2012, 02:57 PM

Depends on your budget but the NS-5H2 can be had with wide spacing and JJ pups. Nice and light too!

I've seen those but no way could I consider a $3500 bass I was hoping for something around $1000 or less used most likely.
