SPECTOR® Club - Part 66

Not open for further replies.
Hey guys,
I just stumbled across a used Bubinga Legend 4 bolt on locally, older model with the PJ HZ setup and 3 band EQ - I did a little looking here on TB on past sales but I wanted some opinions on a fair price for this - looks to be in decent shape, all original parts.
What do you think it's worth - no bag/case, just the bass.
My Coda Pro 4 may have to wait another few weeks, very few Spector basses come up for sale here locally so I may jump on this one if I can get it for the right price.

I'd say between $350-$450 is fair, those are cool basses. but I'm no expert in the pricing game.
 
D Yeah...if I'm not napping off the recent surgery healing, I'm busting on music...gearing up for an outdoor festival in Indian River, Mi., "Rhythm on the River", my P&W band is playing this Friday night. Then there's still the 3 hour Tue.night gig with continuously revolving songs weekly...

From Minnesota, it's got to be easier to drive through Canada then to come down through Wisconsin, Illinois and Indiana to drive all the back up through Michigan. Safe travels brother. Glad to see God has is hands on you working his magic during and after the surgery.
 
This is the Euro4 I bought from brotherbassj. :bassist: It's a 34" TW upgraded with DCs and a USA 18v plus kill switch.

My USA NS-5 should be done sometime soon too, but Todd says we won't know until it ships out to him. That's when he gets notified.

Very slick! :bassist:

Sorry to keep you waiting, but it arrived today and it slays!

Brooklyn and Kramer. I guess I'll need an SSD and a Woodstock too!

Drool! :D
 
Hallo guys! I'm doing a show in front of 3000 people in a few weeks. Now it's a show mainly for kids, an afternoon show (inside, plus it's Norway so no worries about sun) and it'll only be two songs. I was wondering if I should bother bringing my backup? Of course it's always best to be prepared but it's only two songs and I'll give my lovely Euro a good check and test before.

:)
 
Instead of doing a kill-switch, is it possible to wire a series/parallel switch in combination with the 18v pre or would that not work with a Balance knob?

Don't know. Maybe one of the experts could chime in.

Check it out first and you should be good to go.

Anecdote...
I got a call from my singer who was doing a gig last friday with another band saying "We need to borrow a bass!" Just as I was heading out the door with my Modulus (I'm not lending a Spector to a stranger.;)) got another call, "Nevermind, just needed a battery!"

Pfffttt! Amature! (bass player, not singer) LOL

I know you're more together than that Norway! :D Go kick butt!

Very slick! :bassist:

Thanks!

Hehe, I guess you're right. It's only two songs. I know exactly which of my basses have good and dead batteries (only the KBX has a dead batter, but I only have that cuz it looks awesome.)

So give it a check, new battery, test the wireless system (new battery also) and go rock out. With some country songs. I'm a death metaller by nature, so this is real weird for me :D But it's for the kids, so I'll honestly play anything.

Drool! :D

Awesome!! Great addition to your rebuilt Brooklyn, im jealous of both!

Very nice collection!

Very nice, they look good together...is this the Kramer bass with the same serial number as the Brooklyn????

Thanks for the kind words guys. This isn't the same serial number as my Brooklyn. That one is a Woodstock Bolt on that's at my local Sam Ash. I actually still haven't had the chance to go down and play it, but then the Kramer popped up for sale and it was a no brainer to buy it lol.

I'm going to do a little in depth comparison between the two. I will say the necks feel absolutely identical, but I'm curious what my calipers will say. The volute is more pronounced on the Kramer though. There are a few little differences in the headstock shape, and I think the body on the Brooklyn might be a bit smaller.

My next purchase has to be some good recording gear so I can do a tone comparison, but my ears tell me exactly what I expected: The Kramer with US 9v is more articulate and is capable of a bit more treble bite whereas the Brooklyn with the Haz copy is a little warmer and wooly, with a smoother tone.
