Wow, I've been away for a while. Been a busy year for me, but I'm back with my baby. Trying to get caught up.

Several members thought this was a cool bass, I knocked it down $100 today, I will take more off for any club member...........

I really wish I had the do ray mee for it.

Several of us have heard the bass and it does not dissapoint. That Spector 18v brings the pain! The flame is some of the nicest I seen on a matte Euro.

Thanks for all the feedback on the peavey tour 700 guys! Now I need to figure out how to buy one, lol.

Jamie, that bass.... o that bass.. I love it.

That is a cool Euro, Zitch has a cool one for sale also....great basses on the market that's for sure!

I think I seen a 700 on ebay but it might have ended, unless your saying you need to play a few more high paying gigs first??? lol

I'm not a big fan of matte finishes but with that wood this one is sweet! And the DC's with the 18v is a monster sound. Wish I had the frog pelts brother.

I have a question for anyone who has ever ordered a Spector through a dealer.Would the final cost of the bass be about the same as the list cost.I might order one and have been in contact with Spector to make sure all the options i wanted were doable and to get a ballpark figure.All the options are ok but if it is gonna be close to the list price, it very well could be out of my price range.Just curious to know how much if any difference there is between list and actual cost.Would it vary between dealers? Thanks for any info.

I've never paid list or even near it for a custom build order and I've had 3 built.

Gorgeous Euro 5

I have been distracted by vintage Fenders and eating crow about strings lately but I was able to steal away some time this weekend to spend with my NS 2000/4 and as soon as the dust settles I will be looking for a second Spector to add to my collection. I need a 5 string I can tuen down to Eb for on of my gigs. I love the Korean neck through but I would love to learn about other Spectors to keep my eye open for in this same price range.... any suggestions greatly appreciated!

Nice trans red me-20005 nt here for sale cheap

Hey Spector Club! Recent follower, first time posting. Been excited playing shows with my cool upgraded NS2000/4 recently and man I couldn't any happier. Quick question, (sorta) well this bass has gone through a few stages of upgrades and it is finally in its finished state with a EMG 35P&J set and a recently installed a MM114, anyways I was curious though if any of you have ever installed a trimmer pot to the output of a NON trim tonepump? Wanting to do this to my backup which I have installed a TP and noticing a change in tone when I do; read somewhere adding a small cap to the output of a preamp may help, just wondering if anyone has done anything like this to the their older nontrim TP..

less hassle to get a trim pot pump and wire it up imo. dont know how the pump or the emg's will like that. ask around there's usually a few floating around for a good price.

Welcome, I'm in Phoenix also (more specifically Mesa) You in a band locally? I agree with Grendle, pick up a tonepump with trim pot and call it a day.

O RLY?

In with my svelte, new-to-me rebop4 EX. She's in remarkably good shape with only minor pre-disastering. You never know what you're going to get with eBay. Currently strung up BEAD, which I may or may not keep. Some work needs to be done on the nut, regardless. I'll give a full report later with some better pics.

Awesome! Can't wait to hear the tone report.

 

[j.kernodle]

congrats on that rebop! that's the best looking one of these I've ever seen.

 

[worshiprocker]

nice rebop!!

Hey thanks! And cool, I am actually in Mesa too, I moved up here from Tucson last year for work. I never thought the 3-4 degree difference between Tucson and Phoenix would be a big deal but man with all the freeways, it makes a big diff lol. My band is Icelus, I joined them earlier this year and we have started to get out to shows, just had one last Friday at Rocky Point Cantina and one coming up at Sail Inn..

..About the tonepump I actually like it but ya its a beast and since I'm always fiddling around my basses figured I would try out that little mod see if anything cool comes from it. So I did and it did lower the output but it changed the tone as well. Sounded like how a passive tone does ...didn't like it..

NICE! The black hardware looks great on there.

So does the bridge look like space was widened for the B winding?

BTW I have something coming today (not a bass), but something I've thought about trying for a while. Will post pics when it's in my hands. I am notoriously superstitious which is why I don't say "out for delivery" before I post pics.

is it a Moog?

 

[bunkaroo]

is it a Moog?

It is not. I'm hoping it lives up to the hype.

Oh, oh, my turn. Not a Moog and lot's of hype?

Ummm, a Darkglass?
