    Location:

    GAS has got to me again, and something has to leave the collection.
    Only interested in a cash sale, no trades.

    Amazing example here of Spector craftsmanship.
    Bass was built in 2012 and has been through a number of Spector club members.
    Most famously, this was used by our pal Omer (Trailight on here) for a few years and on several of his recordings.

    Here are the specs, Spector-style

    MODEL: NS-2
    DOB: 2/6/12
    NECK: beefy 3-piece maple neck, Pau Ferro fretboard, abalone inlays, satin finish on back of neck, neck-thru construction. 22 frets. Neck width at nut is standard 1 5/8"
    SCALE: 34"
    BODY: Spalted Maple top on Black Walnut body, satin/matte finish
    COLOR: Natural
    PICKUPS: Standard active EMG P/Js
    PREAMP: classic HAZ labs 2-band
    HARDWARE: BLACK, hipshot De-tuner, and does include the original hipshot tuner.
    WEIGHT: 9lbs 13.5 oz on my digital scale (walnut is not known for being lightweight)
    STRINGS: pics were taken when I was experimenting with black tape wound strings. Currently strung with D'addario NYXL rounds.
    CASE: standard US Spector hard case, well used but everything is in working order.

    It's been clearly played and loved by many, but there are no dings. Frets show wear but nothing that impacts playability.

    $2800 shipped, CONUS only please. Paypal works.

    Bumparoo for a sweet looking Spector :)

    Has the US9Haz preamp w/active EMGs?
    Then I'm positive it sounds as good as it looks!

    Just an FYI. This bass will be available until Friday, July 5.
    I will be out of country for the rest of July, and will re-list it upon my return.

    How is this beauty still here? Really wish I had the funds for this.

    Alas, I'm saving pics of this because whenever I can afford to splurge on a U.S. build, I want a replica of this baby!
