Spector Club Pt. 4 (Insert Clever Title Here)

[Thundar]

No shame in that game. Is that 5er a CR?

Honestly, I dont know... I assume it is a Euro since it has the Tone Pump

It's a Spector! And it kicks ARSE!!!!
Pretty too!

Gotta add some photos to the new page!

STUNNING bass, man ! I can easily say that of all the awesomeness if seen oozing from the Spector club threads this is the bass I most like to own. If you ever plan on selling it... ya' know - I'm only a PM away

Agreed on all counts

 

[bobunit]

Ooooh. Intriguing. I'll stay tuned.

It's arrives Tuesday...

Whoa. Very attractive specimen. Three pages into it and this thread is already doused in Spector hotness

 

[vates]

All right then!

 

[bobunit]

All right then!

Man, I love that one.

 

[vates]

Yes, it looks fantastic and the sound is up to its looks, but I have no time to master a fretless (a day-job, a family and two bands with tight schedule). So it just stays in the case and waits for a nice trade offer to pop-up...

Anyone ever seen a NS2A like this.

Looks like a replacement bridge and I'd bet that's a repaint. Then again, knowing Kramer, who knows. EMG's so that's cool. I'd make sure it has the Haz Copy pre.

Dude, thats amazing...are those 2 MM Emg's??

 

[Jasonger]

Yes sir, thats a pair of EMG-TW pickups. They sound huge! It sounds pretty good in single coil mode but in dual coil- simply thunderous.

These are some friggin' sweet basses! Here's mine... cousins

I also scored a great deal on it. $899 ($2099 list) although another poster said he saw some go for as little as $600. Is this discount normal on all Spector models?

Unfortunately, no. Since Spectors are an acquired taste, they are usually sold to those who know and love the tone. If there is a high end Spector at a retailer where they sell the run-of-the-mill basses and it's been there a while, you can bet you'll probably get a decent deal on it.

I just picked up a used Spector yesterday. I had wanted a Euro for a while but I was waiting for the right deal to come along and it finally did! Here's the link to the pics.

Are the ReBop models just the Euro models with a bolt on neck? I'm kind of confused here and I'm looking to try out a few Spector basses. Could someone please clarify? Thanks.

You are correct! I purchased a 5'er a couple of weeks ago. I wrote Spector customer service and provided the serial number. Her is what they wrote back;

hello -

thanks for the email. I am glad you are enjoying your Spector bass!

your bass was made in our Czech shop in approx early 2003 by its
serial number. it is either Euro4/Euro5 (if neck-thru) or ReBop4/
ReBop5 (if bolt-on).

I hope this info helps!
