Value of Czech made Spector

Hi all. I bought this Czech made Spector brand new in ‘98. I am not using it anymore and want it to be loved like it deserves to be! I want to value the bass correctly, but I have seen these sell for a broad amount. I also know there are several versions of non-USA made Spectors. Spector owners, what is she honestly worth? Thanks for your time

these prices were around $1300-1700 for a while, then shot up like crazy right before inflation took off. They were being listed at $2k+. they are coming back down in price now. I would think in that first range is reasonable, pending condition, case, mods, etc.

beauty of a bass. hope it finds a good home.

Not a Spector owner (yet) but yeah sweet bass.

I found this one which is a 99 and isn't as nice as yours:
Spector NS 5CR Mid-1999 Black Transparent/Gold | Reverb

and this is like yours although yours may be a 34" scale.
For Sale - Spector NS5-CRFM Black Cherry Burst (35" Scale) 5-String Bass

Also this.

Thanks for that! Mine is a 35” scale, so maybe I got the “ bought date “ wrong, must have been ‘99 when I bought her.

Thanks for the reply. Bass is in great condition, no mods and it will ship in a case. I now have an idea what I will list it for. Thanks again.
