It absolutely pains me to sell my 4 string Spector, but I really only use my 5 string and a financial crunch dictates something must go. This is a fine example of a handmade USA Spector. Construction is just incredible, the whole thing just has a robust, solid feel that you simply don't have in other basses.
The body is mahogany with a quilted maple top. Neck is bolt on, 3 piece maple. Neck profile is nice and fat, just like a Spector should be. If you want a thin, narrow Jazz bass neck please look elsewhere
Fingerboard is Pau Ferro with Spector crown inlays. Weighs right at 8.5 pounds so it's nice and light and balances nicely on a strap.
Pickups are DiMarzio Area Jazz which are phenomenal sounding noise free J pickups and a huge upgrade from the thin, sterile EMG's. This is one of the most 'Spector' sounding Spectors I have ever played. You want Alice In Chains? Here you go. Preamp is the Spector Tone Pump 2-way with gain trimpot.
Condition is probably better than you would expect from an 8 year old bass that was built to be played. Please expect to find normal wear on the body. There are no major dings in the wood, mainly just the indents and marks you get from playing and handling. It has a satin matte finish that is almost like oil which shows fingernail marks and such from slapping and knob turning. There is a little worming on the back probably from a belt buckle, but it's not 'buckle rash' and thanks to the wood grain you can't really see it until you look for it. Spector does a little spot of gloss on the end of the fingerboard where you don't play, and there is some finish bubbling here. Tuners have normal wear from strings (scratches in the black posts). Again very minor and only cosmetic. I'm very picky (probably way TOO picky) about this stuff and I'm just trying to point out everything. I can't really even photograph this stuff. Basically, don't expect dead mint. Expect a bass that has been played and is in fantastic condition, and expect a bass that you will have trouble putting down. It's an incredible player.
Bridge is Hipshot B, tuners are Hipshot Ultralites.
$1199
Buyer pays actual shipping (or picks it up for FREE!)
Spector Hardshell case $50 extra.
I would love a local deal so you can check it out in person! I am in Upstate, SC so I can meet anywhere in Greenville SC, Columbia, SC, or Augusta, GA.
Here's a soundclip. Nothing fancy, just my crappy playing on top of Honeysuckle Blue. You can really hear the depth and punch of this bass though. Like I said, it's the most 'Spector' sounding bass I've ever played.
