Sadly, I need to let go of my very special Spector NS Pulse II 5-string bass. Asking price is £1,000. I replaced the Tone Pump Jr pre-amp with a multi-coil filtering pre-amp from Lusithand Devices. Stock EMG pickups, not had a chance to swap them out with an actual multi-coil pickups but sounds amazing even without. If you are after the Wal sound, this setup will get you very close. Excellent condition, no scratches or dings, low action, no buzz, straight neck etc. UK buyers only. I'd prefer collection in person, but happy to post it via UPS or similar service (no evri) at the buyer's expense. Hard case included in price. Any questions, let me know! Specs: Body Wood: Solid Swamp Ash Neck Wood: 3-piece Roasted Maple; Bolt on Fretboard: Macassar Ebony Number of Frets: 24 Inlays: Dots Nut: Graphite Nut Width: 1.75" Scale: 35" Neck: EMG 40DC Bridge: EMG 40DC Bridge: Hi-mass Locking Tuners: Sealed Die-cast String Spacing at Bridge: .66"

Lightweight cab (MBE 115) loaded with Faital Pro 15PR400 NEO Driver (800w) 8 ohm this is a single carry load in if you use a small class D amp This is a considerably upgraded driver which replaced the 200w GK NEO original (the speaker alone was £200 ) last year. It has seen light home use only in this time with my Trace Elliot Elf in a practice capacity. Another way to look at it is get your Faital pro for half price! And the GK cab is free….. Dimensions 40x50x60cm. Weight a paltry 15 KG Pickup preferred in South Wales. any queries fire away

Reduced to £2095

I’ve not used the DI part and hence not used the built-in cab sim (though I’ve run it into sims on my Shift Line Cab Zone Bass). Remember the BP’s mid control is cut-only. I’m only using mine for lowish-gain sounds and have pretty much just dialled in a sound I like and left it there. Gone for a distinctly old-school, warm and woolly tone but with a bit more breakup. Reminds me of some old souls stuff but also some Beatles bass tones. (I’m solely using it with a passive P with labella flats.) It has a decent amount of bass but not the same as say the SV. The way I’ve got it set, the attack is slightly ramped compared to other preamps, that is, the notes sort of bloom in rather than speaking instantly. (Paired with either of the Origin bass compressors, that changes a bit.)

Is this still available? Is the Achenbach edition just about the custom case, or does it sound different too?

Yeah, I have the DCX and briefly had the Black Panel and I don't think they sound the same (although it was >6 months and a different bass between trying them so no sort of direct comparison). Both are good though.
