Recently stjohn1299 (Mark) took my offer and I sent him my video camera.
He recorded his My Spector Story and I completed the editing for him.

My Spector Story_Mark St John - YouTube

He has a great story of selling and buying his Spector back years later. (with some spiritual help from his Dad)

Remember any regular Spector Club members that would like to do the same, just PM me and I will arrange to send the camera to you, you send it back and I edit for you.
(You pay shipping costs both ways)

Also, if you already have a camera, you can send me the raw footage and I will edit it for you.

I am hoping for a waiting list.

Thanks guys! I thought I wouldn't be able to find much to say, but its not hard to go on and on about Spector! Lets see those videos start coming in!

Awesome video guys! Couldn't agree more with everything that was said in the video, I love my Spector. I have a Euro 5LX in the blue stain finish (looks almost identical to yours, but with a low B) and it looks even better in person.

I'd love to see pics of your green euro 5 when it comes in.

He is serious when he says that too :) Just watch out because the links will just keep on coming since Limaguy sure knows where to find all the good deals :D

That's great news. I know LimaGuy sells beautiful instruments on here so he must have great connections.

Yeah, I think the bass you're referring to is the one I was bidding on. Unfortunately, I got stuck going out with the wife that morning and wasn't able to up my bid when I needed to. I got outbid by like a dollar, that hurts... :(

My Euro 4 was originally going to be green, but the finish was backordered for several months. It was then going to be the normal blue stain, and somewhere between the order and the shipment, it must've been confused with the black/blue stain. I fell in love with it though as soon as I opened the case, so it was no big deal, lol...that's one of the reasons my 5 is going to be green, that, and it's my fave color. I'll be sure to post pics...I've still got at least a month and a half to go, but I'm starting to get that antsy feeling, lol.

I really like the blue stain, I had seen a blue stain Spector euro 5 on bass central years ago when I started playing but I never thought I would be able to drop $1000+ on a bass, and then one came up locally for a good price, so I had to snatch it up. The black and blue looks awesome though. You're really gonna love the neck on the 5er, it feels perfect in my hands. The sustain is great too. What shade of green did you order?

I remember a few threads back seeing a picture of a dark green bass with black hardware, it looked great!

My next Spector will hopefully be another euro 5LX but with this green finish and gold hardware!

Go north to at least Little Rock. There's a reason that North Louisiana is called LA (Lower Arkansas). Not much difference from here to there. Little Rock is tons of fun, and the River Market is a great hangout. Where are you looking at going? Fayetteville for school?

And to put this back in the Spector realm, are you still searching for a Bop 5er?

I just ordered green stain in quilted maple. I'm *hoping* it's pretty close to this one:
