Thanks for the headsup. Texting the seller with an improved offer.

But seriously, must be worth a look for that money, it's a Performer isn't it? Big drop from new price.

I'm in the same area. I'd go for it. The pickups alone are probably worth it! Make sure the truss rod turns and the neck isn't warped and unplayable.

If you buy it and it needs work, I know an excellent tech in Newport News.

spector 5 string for 150 bucks. I am assuming a performer model, but i emailed spector to find out. I tried to upload pictures but having a hard time. Ill try again though. Action is a little high now that i have it in standard tunning. And I think that it has flat strings on it. Never used those so they feel weird, but i think I scored over all. I like it, i ve been wanting a five for awhile.

I have a Performer 4 string. Also from CL and also $150! I think it WAY WAY outperforms other basses in that price range. So easy to play, the action can be set silly low and just a real comfortable easy feeling neck. You done real good.

Is that neck through? That looks nicer than a performer.....Legend perhaps...bridge is beefier than most?
