Details

Putting my beloved vintage NS-2 on the block...

As much as I've loved this bass, with my new Forte SS in the stable it's just not seeing enough playing time, and between recent car expenses and another incoming Forte build early next year I need to free up some cash.

Now it's your chance to own a piece of Spector history!

Very well loved with some great mojo but still in excellent playing condition, walnut wings with a cherry center block and incredibly thin and fast maple neck; other cool touches include an ebony truss rod cover and an original Bad Ass bridge, and one of the strap buttons was relocated by the original owner as well.

The pre-amp is a 9V HAZ, though I believe it might be either the Korean or Mighty Mite version of the circuit, I replaced the PAF pickups (which were pretty dark and muffled sounding to my ears) with a set of Aguilar HC's, and had the switches fixed so that they are series/parallel for each pickup.

I'll ship it fully insured via FedEx, in the new fitted Spector HSC that my Forte SS arrived in, with a few extra sets of broken in DR Hi-Beams just because ;)

$2200 shipped

Thanks for the kind words!

Not interested in any trades, only moving this beauty to free up some cash.

Cheers!

I can easily say that these Brooklyn Spectors are as good as anything ever made ! They are as good as a modern Fodera or Smith and also will compete with a pre cbs jazz bass; they came in Walnut, Cherry , And Birch back in the 70's; I have one of each ; it's hard to tell which one sounds better!!!
