Custom Spector Bass. Worth it?

[Wooftag]

Some guy was selling this Custom Spector euro bass near a friend of mine's place and we were both wondering if it was worth it's 1,100€ (1,300$ USD) price tag.

Looks like a normal Euro that somebody tried to sand half the finish off. I'd offer $400 considering it needs to be refinished.

$1300 ?!?!? For that ? ? ? Not even at gunpoint.

 

[Mastodon2]

Custom? That thing is a normal Spector that has been abused.

 

[Relayer71]

That's actually a Rebop. The Euro is the neck-through.

Looks like an older one, and in that condition, wouldn't offer more than $450.

 

[Snakeman1066]

Rebop 4 and in that condition the answer is no...for about $100.00 more U.S. (than what he is asking) you could actually buy a nice used Euro...

 

[Element Zero]

1300 for a homemade “custom”?

 

[Eddie LeBlanc]

Oh... no..... looks like someone messed up a pretty nice bass to me. That's a shame.

 

[davidjbass]

Custom! No no no no no!

 

[Dr. Keebs]

Nooooooooope. I paid about that much for a relatively rare 2003 Euro 5lx with full padauk body wings in excellent shape. That's just a messed up Rebop. I would not pay more than 300-400 if I wanted it that bad.

 

[Gearhead17]

Run for the hills! Don't even look at it.

 

[Silky Johnson]

Is there $1200 in cash tucked into the control cavity? If not then probably no on that

 

[singlemalt]

It's hard out there for a lefty.

 

[levis76]

It’s worth what someone is willing to pay for it. It does look like a Rebop, and it looks like it was upgraded with active EMG p’ups and preamp.

And why exactly were the pick ups installed upside down I wonder? Is it so the harness will reach the cavity on the lefty? If that’s the case, that sucks.

I bought a rebop 5 string in much better condition 2 years ago for $500 usd. I would pay $400 at most for that, and only if I wanted to get into the project of fixing it up.

 

[Silky Johnson]

That thing is a crackpipe

 

[21DaHoagie12]

No, it is not worth the price tag.

 

[Brich]

At least theres no feet in the pictures. Tree fiddy.

 

[Thundar]

At least theres no feet in the pictures. Tree fiddy.

Yep...$350...rescue it from that idiot and have it repainted. I had the right-hand version of that bass probably 12 years ago...mine had the electronics replaced with true active EMGs like this one...and it was killer...I bought it off Ebay for a steal

What a shame. Not worth the ask. Offer $200 USD and refinish as a project. Keep it for life - you’ll never get your $ back.
