SPECTOR® Club - Part 31

[Jaymi]

when there are basses from the same time that are going for 6-800, it is a little challenging to want to pay a higher price...

 

[5string_phunk]

EXACTLY! But I also agree that he is not in a hurry to sell so why not...

I might do the same thing with the 5 string non-Spector that just arrived today! I will be in no hurry to sell it, but it is always available for the right price!

Mine is around 1994 circa.

So Spector brothers, i'm faced with a dilemma. My bass has a few battle scars that I was going to have fixed up. After pondering on that idea, I thought maybe I should just get her refinished. Truth is, i'm not a black bass kinda guy (no, i'm not a bacist lol,) but i'm finding it hard to justify doing that to such a rare finish option....so I was told. I can't see myself playing anything but a Spector, and the ssd era is now truly my favorite. So here's my question. Should I just refinish the bass to my likings, or trade this bass for a similar nscrfn in a different finish? I can't imagine finding one will be easy though.

Because of the battle scars you may not get the trade value its worth if you trade for another SSD era some model.

What color is it? From the pics it looks like blackburst almost brownish?

There was a similar one around recently in a natural finish.

You may want to go with the re-finish if you like the feel and sound of it so much.

[jarrod cunningham]

Someone please buy this so I can stop hemming and hawing about it myself.

It's driving me nuts !!! Need to sell a cabinet first

 

[JonKim]

Yeah, great looking bass, a bit much coinage. Maybe if it was dead mint. Don't think the seller really wants to sell it.

It's close to being dead mint. One little scratch on top horn but that can be heated out

The battle scars are just normal wear and tear from an 18Yo gigging bass. I just like clean basses lol. Its blackburst over solid flame maple wings.

I'm sitting quietly while all of this NS-2A and Rebop wheeling and dealing is going on...
wondering how long I can hold out before succumbing to the urge to buy an Alex Webster sig model...

 

[sumgruuvz]

feeler usually means, if i can get more than what its worth, ill sell it, if not, ill keep it. lol

the secret, i will reveal once the time is right. for now, the warwick has to go

 

[iceboxbass]

So you guys prefer the NS-2A's over the Euro's? I am curious since I was looking at this for my daughter since I have started teacher her some things but, like her father, she is becoming a 5 string snob (those were Sam's words, lol.)

I'm with ya there John! After I received my Forte 5 I wondered why I ordered the Forte 4?!?! I might sell it and get another Fiver...The Forte 4 stays in the case all the time now! Hmmmm
