    I recently obtained this, and it's a WONDERFUL bass. It sounds simply incredible. I have a US Spector on the way though, so this one will become redundant.

    It's an NS 5 CRFM (predecessor to the Euro). It has a solid maple body, a nice flamed top (which really doesn't show well in the photos, but trust me, it's nice!) EMG active pickups, and an EMG preamp (cut/boost....I MUCH prefer this preamp to the new Tone Pump). It sports gold hardware, and aftermarket Gold knobs. The color I believe was called "plum" by Spector.

    The bass is in REALLY good cosmetic shape, with one exception. Right after I got the bass, the strap pin on the upper horn snapped right off. I simply installed a new strap button right next to the old one, and it works fine, but there is a mar right next to it where the "snapped off "strap pin is. It could be removed, and repaired, but I didn't want to dig into the wood any further to get it out.

    I'm asking $850 (firm), plus shipping, or feel free to run interesting trades by me. All trades must be of similar value, or lower value with cash to me. I'd prefer an outright sale though.

  2. Did that happen to your right big toe when the strap pin broke? ;0)
     
  3. Which USA Spector did you get - new or used - inquiring minds would like to know :D

    35 inch scale. Just over ten pounds I believe...by bathroom scale. It's no lightweight, but I used it for a full gig last night and had no problems, and I have a bad back.

    I don't really have anything of similar value but I do have a custom jazz with EMG's and a Yamaha 5 string with two Musicman type pickups that I would offer as a 2 to 1 deal. They are excellent basses but not really in the same league as your Spector.
     
  15. PM'd with a unique trade offer.

    Thanks for the offers guys, but nothing has struck my fancy. She's still available. I'm willing to listen to REASONABLE cash offers.
