I apologize. I didn't mean to give it a "stigmata". I am usually just afraid of playing things like Squire, Epiphone, etc. Because, from my experience, tho each sub brand here makes a good instrument, these instruments are typically sub-par (tonally, fret and board quality, electronics quality, and general hardware quality) This is not 100% true and I realize that but sometimes it is more than just true, its unfortunate. Some people swear by the squires and epiphones of the world and that's OK.. Taste is unique for all of us.
However, by me calling this particular spector 'low end' I might have called it Entry Level instead and it have made more sense. I am not looking for a bass that is good enough. I am very interested in playing some Spector basses, I just do not want my first experience with them to be negative. This particular bass concerned me a little at first seeing as the owner expresses some wear and missing knobs etc. yet was only $29 cheaper than
musicians friend on something that would have had less missing parts.
I play mostly Ibanez basses. I have never played a spector, so I ask for an objective opinion regarding this particular model of this particular bass. I would never purchase anything on craigslist without playing it first, guitars, cabs, amps, you name it i've played it first. There is no gamble here other than I simply do not want to be ripped off. so...
Would you purchase this bass? What does anyone think of this bass? Perhaps someone who has played this particular bass?
