If I were to ever get an older one again, it'd probably be a Kramer-era model bc they made more 5'ers during that period.
:bassist:

They did make more 5 strings during the Kramer period, but good luck finding one of the 74. I'm dieing to get my hands on one. Only thing tougher to find is a fretless from either Brooklyn or Kramer. There were only 38 during the Kramer era.

Should be joining you guys shortly.
About to pull the trigger on my first Spector.
A killer US model BO.
Looking forward to finally trying one.
I live only about an hour from the Spector shop in NY :)

Hey Mrf,

Long time, no see! I'm warning ya though....once these Spector's get ahold of you it's over. They'll make you forget about all the others we used to love.

Can't wait to see your pics of it. We might finally have someone that can hang with Patrick in the drop dead picture Dept.

So what model did you end up getting?

Didn't that bass belong to another member of this club a while back? It looks amazing.

Like others have warned though, be prepared to suddenly sell off other basses to acquire more Spectors...
:bassist:
 
Yep that was guy.n.cognito's beauty.

Mrf - you don't know how super close I was to buying that! Glad you got it. It should feel and sound amazing....no way it can't...it's a Spector.

But alas I passed on it for something VEEEERY special that is enroute to me as we speak. Stay tuned.....

Cool. I thought so too! Good thing I hooked the two of them up lol.

So true.
I've been playing only my Spector Euro LX basses for the past 18 months. I love my two Rics, & will most likely never sell them, but the Jazz, Stingray, Hamer-12, Steinberger Spirits and Ibanez ATK basses may be leaving the stable soon to make room for a few more Spector Euros.
 
let's talk early euro... sitting my lap....QUILTED MAPLE SOLID WINGS!

You mean like.... THIS?

Just snagged it off of CL last week for about 1/3 of what I paid for my white Euro LX. She has a few minor dings & scratches, but what an incredible sound! The solid maple wings do give the older ones a bit darker sound with some added low end. Thinking about grabbing a 3rd one in blueburst soon - Spector lust never ends...
