Spector Club - Part 14

Not open for further replies.
Spector club members,
The gentleman that I sold my Pedulla to some months back.
Has been bitten by the Spector bug, (with my help, after seeing My Spector Story and my Spector collection on Facebook.) ;) :bassist:

He is looking for a Euro 4LX 35” scale. He needs to do a bass clinician project were he will be tuning down 1 ½ steps.
He may be doing a special order Ian Hill 35” from Basscentral, but he would have to wait 3 months. He may be interested in a used regular Euro 4LX 35” scale. Anyone have or know someone that may want to sell a Euro 4LX 35” scale? Let me know.

B.S.!!!! :spit: :spit::spit: my former Ian Hill barely weighed in @8#!!! And any one of my SPECTORS are lighter than most Solid wood basses. With all weight issues put aside...we buy SPECTORS for the build quality and sound. :D

Not sure what your playing over there lol, but none of mine except maybe my rebop is near that light (especially the 5 strings I've owned, maple is heavy). But I agree on the quality and sound aspect 100% . We all have the sickness here lol
 
Blondie is a Czech Spector with flame maple wings and abalone dots. Blondie is currently wearing DR black beauties and sings through an EMG BQC preamp. Since she doesn't like to disclose her age does anybody have a guess? :D

And to think.... Some company went and took the dots off.. Put a "W" and called it their own..

If it's a 34" Scale, then its a 98'...? Last year they made 34" scale and the dots. The bridge is throwing me off tho. The older NS5CRFM had the blast gold bridges. Is there a ball shaped volute? Mine is like that and the neck is shaped different. I have a near identical one like this. Is this the bass you stripped? If so, great job!
 
Ive also been eying one locally. I can get one in decent condition for a good price. How will it compare to my Spector Euro 5LX?

I believe it will be much different than your Euro since it is passive. It has the EMG HZ pickups which are passive and the tone circuit is passive as well. It looks like you can get the 9v tone circuit in the USA model with a p/j configuration but that doesn't seem to be an option on the Legend version of it.

That being said though, there are some videos of Red Jane Bass playing one and I like the sound of it:

No need to stop. Keep 'em coming, we all love talking about Spector's :)

Thank you :)

I want an NT Spector so badly that I feel like I won't be complete until I get one. But it looks like my dream might not be a possibility.

I have quite severe back problems (both hyper-lordosis and kyphosis) which means that I can't play a bass that weighs much over 8 lbs.

All the 5 string NT Spectors are at least 9.5 lbs or more :(

Have you thought about sitting on a tall stool and rest the bass on your leg. I've been having to do this for 4 months now due to shoulder surgery. I prefer standing because I get quite excited and move when I play. But sitting with a SPECTOR bass is real comfortable. Especially the way the body is scooped. Fits nicely! And I'm FLAT stomached! :D

Hehehe. Why buy a GT Opel when you can have the Ferrari ( Warwick vs. SPECTOR respectively ) in the Automotive world...

Lol I like that analogy trace! Good one! :D
