I put my Brooklyn Spector up for sale early June. I think the last post was June 7. I want to list it at a lower price. Can I start a brand new thread or do I edit my initial post to reflect new price and add details. I also want to put price in the title. Thanks, Dan

I thought I was losing my mind! I went back to my ad and saw that it DID say Brooklyn Spector. Why did I think I omitted "Spector" in the title. I figured I must be too tired to see straight, so I went back to delete this post asking how to add "Spector." You are really fast at solving...

I posted a for sale in the for sale section for bass guitars. I believe it said, "Brooklyn Cherry Sunburst NS2 for Sale" or similar wording. After several replies, I realized that I did not say "Spector NS2," so that it won't show up if someone searches Spectors or scans the titles looking...

Are you looking for a photo of the battery/pre-amp area with everything in place, or with the guts hanging out?

When I was in high school, kids who played in rock bands were not the most popular around. I got my chance at revenge during a school event where my band was playing. At one point, the president of the class, who was also the star athlete for all sports, and the most popular, asked to make...

Please re-read my original post. I was NOT asking you for its value. I was asking if there was a member in or NYC that forum members trusted who could look at and play my bass and give an expert description of its condition. "People are trying to get a handle on the condition to be helpful."...

An important addendum. I am not asking for offers now. I am just trying to find a way for everyone to know as much about the bass as possible. I only stated a price of $4500 because I was "encouraged" to give a price. I pulled that number out of my a**. Dan

Very useful information. I am not offended by your comments. I appreciate your honest analysis of the issues involved. I do not understand why people are getting bent out of shape over what "mint" means, etc. What is important is the bass, itself, not what words are used to describe it...

I had listed my Cherry Sunburst Spector for $4500 in a previous thread. I posted pictures at http:/s1021.photobucket.com/albums/af339/60sbassguy/ . The serial number shows in one of the pictures. The reason for this thread is to get suggestions on how to determine its condition objectively...

I previously listed my cherry sunburst Brooklyn Spector NS-2 for sale. I had offers, but photo's showed tiny white discolorations in the finish at a couple of areas. They are hard to see in person, and nobody could figure out why the finish had these spots. To my eye, the finish is...

Pictures have been uploaded. [img]http://s1021.photobucket.com/albums/af339/60sbassguy/[img] All are flash, so color is a bit off. I will try to take a natural light photo. Dan

I misinterpreted the message I received. I was non-supporting at the time. It said "Non-supporting members are not allowed to post topics about the price of an item they'd like to sell, nor can you item for sale in the basses forum." I took the last half to mean that items that were planned to...

Agreed. What most people did not see is that I had originally posted a message saying I was thinking of selling but wanted advice about selling, pricing, who can be trusted etc. etc. This was how I was doing my homework, asking the most expert Spector owners, collectors and bass enthusiasts-...

Will you take $9k??? Seriously, I understand. I bought this bass because it "fit" me so well. I had never heard of Spector at that time. All I knew was this bass was PERFECT for me. Over the past couple of years, I have thought both of selling it and never selling- it at any price. I...

But what about a mint brooklyn?
