Recently acquired another Spector, and can 'safely' let this one go now.
If you're familiar with Spectors, you know this is the best 'bang for buck' for getting the 'Spector sound' without shelling out the bucks for a USA NS-2 - moreso with this one, as it has active EMGs in place of the original passive EMGs. Still has the original Korean Haz Labs copy preamp. These are getting increasingly rare to find, and people are holding on to them.
As the previous owner posted almost a year ago here...it's been played and used over it's 30-some-year life. Has a few swirls and scratches and a couple of dings (I can post more detailed pictures for those interested). Was professionally set up by Eric Chas in LA before coming to me.
One of the Schaller tuners was replaced with a Gibson (?) tuner - but you can't tell unless you're looking (closely) at the label on the machine cover on the back. Overall, it's in very good shape for it's age, IMO. I wouldn't hesitate to take it to a gig - and that's what I got it for, but never used it for that.
The only changes on it since I got it were a new 9v (about 30min worth of use on this one), some DR neons (I got a deal on them from Jason at BSO - most people who've seen the bass actually *like* them), and I *raised* the action a bit - so it can be set even lower than it is (I use a 'medium' gauge - switch to lighter strings and the action can easily be lowered again.). Has Duncan straplock ends. Will ship with a serviceable gig bag (same one I given with this bass, IIRC).
Pricing at $600 shipped CONUS only. Interested in the following for trades, plus or minus $ to $$$, depending on the item:
- The white version of this bass (with the original preamp in working order)
- A rosewood jazz neck with white blocks / binding (for an Oly White jazz I'm building)
- An upper end Ibanez (think SR9xx or higher, Prestige, etc. Sorry - no fretted BTBs - they're all 35")
- A nice fretless bass. Must be 34" scale, or 35" max and have the upper horn / straplock extending past the 12th fret. I can accept a 5er, as long as it adheres to the above criteria.
- Sadowsky UV70 w/ VTC. Looking for block inlays here.
- An Aria Steve Bailey Signature (fretless 6er). Must have the SB pickup/pre system in it.
And with that, here are some pics (I can supply more upon request).
