Positive energy coming your way Ice!!! I have back issues, too, and I know how miserable it can be. I can't wait to hear how good you feel afterwards!

+1

As a young guy who's had ongoing back pain since 2010, I feel for you, man! Good luck with the procedure and let us all know how it goes! I'm sure you'll be feeling a lot better afterwards and it'll all be worth it.
 
Renewing your listing every day.
It seems like it stays on the front page for maybe 5 minutes & then gets buried.
I think I'm going to start bumping my listings around noon PST. Maybe they'll stay on the page longer.

Good call.

Though I rarely browse the general listings. I only search for "Spector" and all of the Spector listings show up on the 'front page' for me!

That's what I do to. I always have a specific thing in mind to look for.

The only improvement I can think of is a way to filter out the ads where the item has been sold.

And for everyone who sells on the classified (myself included), when you do sell, don't put "Sold" as the last post. Edit your original posting and put Sold there in large bold letters. It would help a lot.

Sorry, getting off soap box now. :D
 
Legend 5 is the what the guy told me it was. Ill try to get a better pic on here tonight so you can see the finish.

Thanks for the links to the truss rod covers!

That sounds about right..

Initial thoughts on the Spector VS your Fender? I have a Fender 4 string, but even when I'm playing the punkier stuff that doesn't require my low A I seem to always be playing my Spector 5er's.
 
Well, tonight is a big night for me, my first real gig in over 5 years. Between some family issues, work schedule, and a lack of venues around here it just wasn't to be. Casino gig playing classic rock and 80's retro with my reformed old band from years ago. Bringing the whole gang, NS2A, Rex 5 and the Legend X, can't wait to finally hit a stage after all this time. :)

Good luck man! Just like riding a bike. I've had a couple 2-3 year gaps between gigging times in my life. Once you play that first note, it's like you never stopped. :)

Nice! Make sure to take some pics for the memories!
 
Not sure what I have just yet but I picked this baby up in a trade for a cab a few days ago. Didn't know much about Spector basses before the deal but I figured if it was Korean with EMGs it would probably be worth having around. I have been very pleased so far!

Couple dings in the back of the neck and some pick/buckle rash to contend with but cleaned up real nice and has a good tone. Has that EMG growl I like so well but seems a bit "nazally" compared to the Shectors I have owned before. May need to just find its sweet spot.

I am missing the truss rod cover if anyone can help out. I have a guy that can make them but I need a pattern to go by.......Thanks!!

By the gold hardware and three band pre, it appears you have an older Legend. I've got one in four string, and its great!

I believe you can buy a new truss rod cover bery reasonably right off the Spector site.
 
Hey everyone! I need some prayers and positive thought coming my way on Tuesday the 20th as I will be going under the knife for 2 hours as ill be going thru neck/spinal surgery. Won't know the time until Monday Afternoon. I have 2 bulging and collapsed disks, 4/5 5/6. I'm really nervous to say the least but relieved that 3 years of extraordinary pain in left arm & neck will be gone, hopefully. Peace all :)

Been there myself. Mine was lower back L3-S1. I still can't feel my left foot from nerve damage. But that was due to 3 years of trying everything BUT surgery and disk fragments laying on the nerves and calcifying the nerve and fragments together. Mine was a career ender as a Firefighter Paramedic. But my church family was there for me. Visits everyday from small group friends, meals at the house for my wife and family while I was in the hospital. Lean on friends and family. I will send the prayers your way. God will make sure everything goes as it should. Blessings brother.

I burned out and went for over 6 years until I got back on stage in December 2011 and it was great!

Congrats on getting "back in the saddle."

Knock'em Dead!

That's cool Rod, rock your Spector basses hard!

Speaking of Casino gigs, I got a call today from Downstream casino asking for us to cover for a band that cancelled tomorrow nights show. So...it looks like I get to play at a casino as well.

Have fun playing your show!

Have fun and rock those Spectors...:bassist:
 
OK I have a few, but someone please pick this up. I don't have the money and it keeps haunting me on CL......

I'm not connected in any way to the seller, just though maybe someone in the club would like it.....
