Details

I need to sell a Spector Bantam 5-string, short (31") scale bass. It was purchased new from Fret Nation in February of this year, and is in mint condition. The bass features a carved, contoured, and chambered NS-style European alder body, nicely figured maple top with a transparent black stain finish, 3-piece maple neck, and 22-fret dark rosewood fingerboard. Electronics include two EMG 40DC pickups, and an EMG BTC active EQ circuit. The bass comes with a new Spector deluxe tolex hard-shell case.

Specifications:
Scale length: 31.0" (788mm)
Number of frets: 22
Nut width: 1.81" (46.0mm)
Neck width at the 22nd fret: 2.67" (67.8mm)
String spacing at the bridge: 0.67" (17.0mm)
Controls: Volume / Pickup Blend / (Stacked) Treble Boost/Cut + Bass Boost/Cut
Overall length: 42.5"
Weight: 8.50 lbs (3.86 kg)
Strings: D'Addario XL-170-5 nickel-plated steel roundwounds

My asking price is $1,200 plus the actual shipping cost, but any and all reasonable offers will be considered, as the instrument must be sold. The payment method is negotiable, although I'd prefer alternatives to PayPal. All requests for additional information and/or photos are welcome.

I may consider a trade, but only for an instrument with the following specifications:
  • Type: 4-string fretted solidbody
  • Scale length: 31" or less
  • Nut width: 39mm or less
  • String spacing: 16.5mm or less

That's what I thought too.

Thanks for asking. That's what I thought also, as Spector prominently advertises the scale length on their website as 32"; but in preparing this ad, I measured the distance from the neck side of the nut to the 12th fret to be exactly 15.5". So that's what mine is.

Ok. Well there you have it...

GLWTS. I had been searching for a used one of these earlier this year, but ended up with something else, otherwise I'd be pretty interested in it...
