    This is my custom 2019 Spector NS5W. This is literally one of the last basses Stuart signed. It’s also one of the first with the dyed NT blank. The front is insane quilted maple, the back is very figured and colored NY water tank reclaimed Redwood, the pics don’t do the back justice, it’s full of fine grain and multiple colors. The FB is Ebony, with MOP inlays. The headstock face is also Ebony . Hipshot ultralite tuners and the 18v HAZ. Bass weighs 10.3 on my digital bathroom scale and it balances wonderfully. This also has the thin neck option. The 19mm spacing to me is perfect and plays so nicely with the 34” scale. To give some perspective, this bass has the original DR Pure Blues strings on it I installed right after receiving it new from Fretnation. They still sound excellent and honestly, maybe have a total of 2 hours on them. The frets are mint. The bass has never left my studio, it lived in a case which is crazy I know. The bass other than two super tiny tiny marks which I took photos of is still in like new condition and as you can see she is flat gorgeous. This bass would cost you north of 7k to have built, I’m going to ask a very fair price of $4800 shipped in a deluxe Dingwall gig bag with the Spector pouch with tools and strap locks. The B string on this bass is flat brutal and of course it has that signature Spector tone in spades, it’s a real knockout for sure. Thank you for looking and I hope you consider her for your next baby, you will not be disappointed. Please no trades. I need the funds for another hobby.
