trade Spector for a Fender??

US spector, i say keep the Spector.

 

DEAR GOD NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!calm down man,take a deep breath and don't move.....I'm going for help..............NINO!! NINO!!!get in here right now!!! we have a sitiuation on our hands!! .................................................................................THUD! (Flipper faints)

 

I also say no. It's just a Jazz 5 with a flame maple top.

 

Can't think of a new Fender I'd trade a U.S. Spector for ...

 

* Wafts strong coffee to masterFunk*

I have a Czech Spector and an American Precision Special (the 80's one). There's no way I'd trade a Spector (even my Czech one!) for a Precision - even a brand spanky new MIA one !!!

But this is just my opinion - you gotta do it your way!!! Oh yeah, sorry about the coffee thing!

 

Whatever floats your boat. I have no doubt at all that you could find someone to buy your Spector for $850.

 

If you're really into the J bass <font size=1>(keep the Spector, for Gods sake)</font>, I'll buy that Spector off of you for $850. I've seen those J V's you're talking about & they are nice, <font size=1>(keep the Spector, for Gods sake)</font>, but come on, a USA Spector retails for $4400.(Sells in stores for around $3000) You don't see something wrong w/that equation? <font size=1>(keep the Spector, for Gods sake)</font>,

$3000=$850? <font size=1>(keep the Spector, for Gods sake)</font>,

 

That's the Spirit

 

That was a close one! This is why we keep trained professionals on hand for times of crisis and temporary insanity. Good work guys, except for that guy that said get the fender he really needs our help also.

 

man!! i wanted that Spector!

 

like someone here said: "whatever floats your boat".

it doesnt matter how much it cost, you should own only an instrument you like, wether the instrument you like is valued at 850 or 3000 dollars it should appeal to you for it's playability and sound, there is no good at a 3000 dollar bass that doesn't have the tone or feel that you are after.

now aside from that- DON'T YOU DARE SELL YOUR USA SPECTOR FOR THAT FENDER!
I'm not saying Fenders are inferior to Spector (hmmm....) but rather meaning that after the "new instrument hype" is over you will miss your Spector a lot even though you will be satisfied with the Jazz.

I think that you should rather "stretch" a bit with the money or take a loan to buy the Fender rather than sell the Spector (hey! you can give up food for a month, you will be too busy to eat playing the new bass anyway).

remember: you only played it at the store for a short time, only after a few months of owning the guitar and playing it in various situations will you be able to really judge and make a sensible objective opinion on that bass.

 

Okay...RAM to the rescue!!!

So, you want the Fender. Go get it! You want to trade your Spector? That's just plain ol' wrong!

Rule #1: NEVER trade a unique bass like that! You'll evenutally regret it!!!

Rule #2: If there's another bass that you absolutely HAVE to have, find alternative ways to get it...steal it if you have to (of course I'm kidding), but never trade an instrument or sell it outright!!!

Here's what happens if you get that Fender: you'll like or even love your Fender. But, you'll get ripped off, financially, and end up wishing you still had that Spector!

Rule #3: If you ignore the above rules, I'll outbid Nino by $50 and give you $900 for that US Spector NS-4 of yours (depending on the condition, of course).

 

I thought we had this settled. There will be no more talk of "boat floating" or "spector -fender" trades, this is just madness pure madness I say. If you are one of those "get the fender" type people then your vote don't count ( you did get the memo right?). If I remember correctly ther is an ancient chinese prophecy about a man that traded a spector for a fender, I cant remember the whole thing but it was something about his "wee-wee" drying up and falling off.


Im sorry its friday and (james brown voice on) "I FEEL GOOD HEEEEY" ( JB voice off)

 

you bite your tounge young man!we nearly had a major sitiuation on our hands,I feel so verclempt,I had the vapors all night,I just sat i up in a corner holding Sophie (thats my Spector ns' name) she is laying flat in her hardshell case totaly exausted,I'm going to put some new Earnie Balls on her today,that'll make her feel better.

 

WOW! What a lot of Spector lovers out there! I'm one, that's for sure!

But, my advice to you wasn't joking...I don't recommend trading your Spector for a Fender. I think you'd regret it!

I made my point not as a Spector advocate (which I obviously am) but as an impartial 3rd party. I once traded a bass and go back and forth quite regularly over whether or not I should have traded in the Modulus for a Spector. I like the Spector more. That's not the issue. The issue IS that every once in a while, I want a different tone, and the Spector isn't it. I like variety

There was a guy around here a while back who did trade his Spector for a Fender. He had the Spector for a few months but couldn't get used to the sound. He felt that the Fender was more up his alley in feel and sound. That's fine. The Spector sound doesn't have to be for everybody.

I still believe, however, that trading one bass for another is a quick way to losing money and a slow way to wish you still had what you once did.

Think about it

 

Are You F*$#!"n nuts???
