Like it, or not, the dude's trying to make a profit on the sale. :( Totally uncool. And the worst part is that he didn't put it on here, probably because he knows he'd be flamed for it.

I actually got genuinely angry for a second when I clicked on that eBay link.

What an incredibly rude and disingenuous thing to do...at the very least, if someone remembers his user name, Trace should revoke his club number :spit:

Ho sold the bass to a guy who joined this club last week and he was asking how to correct the finish. I guess he wound up not liking it as much as he told us, good luck to him with his ebay venture because it sounds like knowbody from this club wants it at his marked up price. To tell the truth, I have basses in my collection that I found at a great deal, years ago, that I have seen on ebay for 4X the amount I paid and I would want todays value for these basses...not saying that he will ever get his asking price but who would know!!!

The law of supply and demand will play into this, I mean if someone wants a custom color Spector with a shaved neck it's now going for $600 more than last week unless someone sends him a private message and offers what Ho wanted and he lets it go...I got my NS2 basses so I'm not interested so lets see how the ebay auction goes, heck...he might sell it at the first offer for $600 less than what he paid!

I feel like if that's what happened then the least he could've done was offer it up for last week's price to the club members, then throw it on eBay for an inflated price to see if an offer comes in.

For him to not even post about him selling the bass here shows me that he feels he's doing something wrong, with the community within the club, we could've helped him sell it.

This is exactly what has me suspicious/irritated by the whole situation. I understand marking up a bass on e bay when willing/expecting to sell at a lowered offer price. But not posting here on TB shows a profiteering MO.

Thank you, my Spector family, for all the love and support. I gotta admit to being a bit perturbed at Sandwich's actions, but I quickly got over it. It was a tough decision to part with the Tangerine Forte. I did it to finance a Walnut NS-2 with Leo Quan bridge. I will quickly tell you my side. I sold the bass to Sandwich for the club price of $1950. I figured used Fortes with the OBP-2 go for about $1800, so one with a HAZ, which are near impossible to get, was worth the asking price/ club price. I mentioned to Sandwich that if he ever wanted to part with it, to let me have dibs. I thought he was very happy with the bass, but he then texted me to say that he saw an NS-4 that he just had to have, and of his intention to sell the Tangerine Forte on ebay for more than what he paid for it. Fully understanding Spector GAS, I told him no worries, good luck. It's not something I would do. But that's just me. If he gets his dream Spector out of the deal then that's a great thing :). I've been more than blessed in owning some beautiful Spectors, and in a couple of weeks I will own another and the Spector arsenal will be, once again, complete. NS-2 with J/J pickups, HAZ and Badass bridge. Custom Euro-4 P/J pickups with HAZ. And a Brooklyn style Walnut NS-2. That puts it into perspective for me. Sandwich, I ain't mad at ya baby!

All,

Just a heads-up that I'm going to be posting my black NS-2A for sale / trade in the next few days; if anyone's interested, PM me for a place at the front of the line before I put up the posting. I'd much prefer it going into the hands of a club member who will appreciate what it is (and NOT turn around and put it on E-bay).

I picked up a Euro Wimbish the other day and am quite happy with it, so I can let this one go with an easy conscience now. Club pricing will apply, of course.

This is the one I got from MDBass about a year ago with the active EMGs to go along with the Korean pre.

If you've got a white one that you want to replace with my black, you go to head of the line. :p
