Now £1395! Spector Euro RST in the wonderful Sienna finish up for grabs. This bass manages to be both unbelievably light (6.2lb!) while still feeling extremely solid and 'proper'. I've had light basses that feel like toys, this is not one of them! It features Aguilar pickups and an Aguilar preamp for some serious punch. Being Aguilar they also produce a nice vintage tone when required, especially with the neck pickup favoured and a slight treble cut. Both pickups on full with some bass and treble boost will send you to slap heaven. It has been gigged so is showing small signs of use, but it is in fantastic condition overall. It comes in a nice Spector gig bag. Collection from Margate or I can box it up securely if you'd like to arrange collection.

As you folk can see, most of my rig is on sale due to needing funds for other matters and band stuff requiring much less / potentially taking a break from stage. Gorgeous looking Squier Classic Vibe, from the best recent years of Squier I guess! Setup is great and comes with new Daddario Chromes. It's a bliss to play and a temptation to keep, but a basic pedalboard, amp and two basses is all I really need. Period correct and cleanly applied fender logo - original S/N at the back of course with the 'Made in China' stamp. Great condition for it's age with no remarkable damage.

*** NOW SOLD *** Hi Folks, Bass Collection Power Bass for sale in excellent condition. £SOLD or very near offer. As stated above, the bass is in 'as new' condition, has a nice low action so is super-playable, the electronics are all fine, the truss rod is working perfectly, and it's a very lightweight bass. Comes with a Pro Tec gig bag Most important of all, it sounds exactly like a P Bass should! Bought 2 years ago from @greyparrot for a recording project but that's finished now, hence why it's up for sale And to be honest, if I hadn't recently bought a 50s reissue P Bass on here, I'd probably be keeping this as it's so easy to play, sounds great and looks fantastic IMO, but such is life here on Basschat, even for super-pretty basses like this one! 😁 Collection or meet up preferred within 50 miles of Potton, Central Bedfordshire. And of course, trials very welcome here with your or my bass amps/cabs. Kettle very much set to 'on' position... Any questions, please ask away here or please send me a PM. Thanks for looking.. 😊 Nik

@GoodOlJohnson I have awarded you your first reputation point for a good point well made. We like people like you here!!

The Yamaha TRB 1005s are some great 5 Strings. The 35 Inch Scale might need some getting used to, but these are built rock solid. Powerful preamp, super solid neck construction and a good alrounder. Long Sustain and great clarity on the notes aswell. Super E and B string.

£1600 to sort/hold before Saturday before it goes elsewhere. Taking a long break (maybe retiring!) from stages, I have bits and bobs to let go of. Could be teased with a Precision like a limelight, potentially bravewood, but I'm more a P man than a J so here goes - ridiculous neck, you've been warned!!

BASS HAS BEEN SETUP AND FRETS CROWNED TO PERFECTION NOW THAT THE WOOD IS SETTLED. Selling it for a firm £1700, same as it cost me to have it as is (setup work and crowning was paid on top of the £1700). Notice this bass would be about £3400 to build today...

Hi everybody. Price already reduced but make me a close offer and UK delivery and new basic gig bag included. For sale only, my Spector Legend NT ,Neck Thru 4.( Not to be confused with Legend bolt on models ) Carved Maple NS design body with a beautiful Bubinga top , walnut stained , with a classy matte finish to body and neck. Mint Condition. No blemishes. ** Adhesive Spector style crowns cover the original pearl dots ** Now REDUCED to £700 Option with original black tuners and knobs or £750 with the new gold Gotoh GB707 tuners ( and all the metal knobs have dot indicators.) I can remove the crown markers. ( see RRP £1229 2015 in review below). Serial Number W160029 (2016). Bought preowned from The Music Centre, Tavistock Street, Bedford in “ as new “ condition. Manager Ross sold it new from there in 2018 to a guitarist just trying out at playing bass but he hardly played it apparently so returned it to the same shop in 2020. I then bought it 15/12/2020 and have only played it at home and not that often because I have a few basses to rotate luckily. Close body pics show a faint surface streak catching the light ,above fretboard end , which simply cleaned off with my Nomad matte finish detailer. Selling to fund a higher end Spector now that I’m hooked on them, thanks to this one being so impressive, responsive and easy to play. An extravagance on my part really because this bass ticks most of the boxes of certainly the Czech models (like my Euro 5LX) and they’re close to the US ones from the Spector forum opinion on here. ( Well worth a read !! and a wealth of knowledge there too.) This model was launched 2015 and you can see the specs in the notreble.com link below which mentions the Bubinga top. (Grain runs along length of body) Spector Introduces Legend Neck-Thru Basses for 2015 – No Treble If the link doesn’t work, search “ notreble spector introduces legend neck-thru basses 2015 “ There’s another detailed review below (2017) from Music Radar.(RRP £1229 even back then ) a year on from mine they put quilted maple tops on. There was an ex display one , blue fade 2017 at BDir for £1499. So, for my totally mint example of this quite rarely offered bass it is priced fairly IMO. I’m in no rush anyway but a close offer will do the trick no doubt. Spector Legend 4 review | MusicRadar The 3 piece maple Thru Neck has 2 graphite reinforcement rods alongside the truss rod so combined with the maple body it gives this bass optimal resonance and playing characteristics for a modern, versatile sound spectrum. Rock-solid tuning is provided by the Spector Locking Bridge in combination with precise die-cast tuners. Active Aguilar OBP2 2-band tone controls and Aguilar DCB ( Dual Ceramic Bar ) pick-ups allow for a versatile range of possible tones and plenty of punch. Vol Vol and the Bass Treble have centre detents. The dark Rosewood fingerboard is 16” radius has 24 frets ( no wear) and a 40mm Brass nut to make the strings sing. The contoured body is very comfortably against the player and the neck profile ensures easy playing. Set with minimal neck relief. 18mm string spacing at the bridge. Strung with new Rotosound RB50s 110 90 70 50 nickel plated steels (when I got it ) and they still sound lively to me. I wouldn’t go that large myself but they do seem to suit this bass. Feel and sound great and no extra effort needed. Not much winding on the E and A post ( gold larger diam than black posts) but it stays in tune. You’ll have your own preference for strings no doubt but worth knowing what’s on it first. I’d use those again if I was keeping it. The matte finish feels grrrreat on neck AND the body too. Something about it ! Heavy duty standard Spector bridge with saddle locking screws each side. Weight is 4.4 kg , 9lbs 11oz on my accurate digital scales so not light weight due to the maple body but in this case the benefit is the distinctive tone and sustain achieved and it’s nicely balanced standing with neck about 20 deg upwards. Videos below from Youtube to give you an idea. (5 string version of my bass) The demos don’t cover the full range of the EQ. Thanks for looking.

Appreciate the input. I’m going to withdraw the set from sale and if I get the same issue with the E String I may resort to a spacer at the ball end. 🤞

It can definitely get confusing Bassfingers, here’s labella chart if it helps anyone
