Details

Up for sale is my Late 80's Spector NS2-A (Kramer era)

I took this bass off the market to use as a project bass, but now I am looking at an amp here on TB and need to part with a few things.

This bass does not have a SN, but I have heard from PJ @ Spector that the early Korean made spectors did not have one.

-Schaller tuners
-Spector branded EMG pickups
-Haz-Lab Copy pre
**looks like the owner before me did some work to make it an 18V system but it is currently running 9V...also I believe that this individual also wired the knobs backward form standard Spector config (top volume knob controls P pickup, bottom Volume knob controls J pickup). also there is a faint bit of signal still coming thru when both vol are turned down, but I think that is just a grounding issue as the same thing happened to another bass I owned.

Other than the strange wiring and a few scratches, this bass is in really good condition for its age!

Also, the frets need some work...it doesn't affect the playability, but there are a few uneven frets.

Its a great project bass or a nice vintage axe!

$350 plus shipping CONUS

yes sir! I was going to keep her and trick her out, but I found the amp I have been drooling over for a few years in the classifieds and I need to free up some money!

She's a great feeling/playing bass!

I have an early SSD NS4CR, with no serial number, emg p/j and what looks like a Haz (or copy, not emg pre like the Spector history says). How would this compare in tone and output? I'd love a white NS.

It would be a little less growly and a little lower output, since the Spector pups are passive... But otherwise pretty similar and nothing a new set of pups can't help

I had one in red. Loved the feel, liked the tone, but just couldn't get into the look... I thought it was an overall-look sort of thing... but now that I see it in white... I want one! Alas, no money. So I guess this is a long-winded bump for a beautiful bass.

I just bought one of these last week and LOVE it. Bump for a great price on a better bass.

Used to have one in purple that I lost in a pawn shop 10 years ago. Still miss it.

I remember a purple ns2a on eBay that had a bad ass bridge and factory inlays . Pj Rubal from Spector said it was a bass custom made for someone big , but they didn't have a name .
