[quote name='jensenmann' post='269599' date='Aug 25 2008, 04:55 PM']sorry, slightly OT: I just realized how many Spector models are out there right now (yes, I´m a disinformed old fart). Could someone enlighten me where they all do differ? I have an older one from end 80s or early 90s, serial # is 1289. What are these called? NS4 or did they have a different name? Here´s a picture: [attachment=12637:000_0210.JPG][/quote] That is a Kramer era Spector NS2. A VERY nice bass you have there.... Let me know if you ever wish to part with it!

I love my SVT3 and it roars through a good 4ohm cab with no lack of power.... Through my Mesa Diesel 2x15 it shakes the room before it even gets to half volume!

....and again.... THANK YOU all, it takes two to make a clean, easy deal & you've all played your parts! (pun)

I'd just like to thank ben for a clean and easy transaction. He bought a bass body off of me and sent payment quickly. His communication is polite and a credit to Basschat.

I'm hoping she'll come back looking pretty and nice to touch.[/quote] Has she lost her legs and is having prosthetics fitted?!?

[quote name='5_string_death' post='264834' date='Aug 18 2008, 06:56 PM']Ahh, interesting, (you can't tell, but Im stroking my imaginary beard right now lol) If I ever do buy one, I'll take your advice as soon as i can. What EMG's do you recommend? Zach[/quote] EMG35DC pickups running at 18v is what Rex uses....

Ooo.... that's nice! Would love my Jackson Kip Winger or even a Spector in that colour

[quote name='teen t-shirt' post='265170' date='Aug 19 2008, 07:24 AM']you guys have made me so happy, i'm only 17 but i got every single joke... to top it off i'd love to see all your wife's faces if they saw all this... [/quote] My wife loves this thread & thinks it's one of the most funny/outrageous things she's ever read!

I used to have a Nightingale 'Harlequin' bass.....made by Bernie Goodfellow and Neil MacDonald in their workshop in Thornton Heath.... Lovely bass with superb action and a bold tone. Sold it to continue my Spector buying....

The Rex Brown has a very punchy, slightly scooped tone due to the EMG-Hz pickups and circuit. For a more genuine growl/grind with more mids I'd recommend updating the pickups with full EMG's....

Lovely bass..... classic looks!

[quote name='Born 2B Mild' post='260936' date='Aug 12 2008, 04:00 PM']Part of my Euphoria has to be caused by the clearance bargain price from Reverb of £499. Warwick, be very afraid![/quote] Ah, they sh*t themselves many years ago..... that's why many people only look for old Streamers....

As there's been so much interest in the recent amazing Spector deals at Reverb I thought I'd bump my Spector porn thread...... and attach a generic pic of the new Dark Cherryburst Spector ReBop DLX bass I've just received. A real picture of the 'actual' bass will follow at some point... EDIT Jan 2010: This bass has now been sold on purely because I need the money for a major bass purchase. Didn't want to sell but needs-be....

[quote name='Mike Brooks' post='260882' date='Aug 12 2008, 03:04 PM']No it isn't, get yourself one because these offers won't be around much longer. Can't begin to say how happy I am with my purchase, having waited 18 years to resolve my Spector craving....should have dealt with it long ago. Silly boy! Mike[/quote] Better late than never Mike..... though I knew that night when you played a few of mine that it wouldn't be long...

[quote name='thedonutman' post='260879' date='Aug 12 2008, 03:02 PM']I think you're supposed to get the bit of the Schaller locks that attach to the strap too. I got them. He did say that they didn't keep them on the basses because people steal them thoigh. However, I don't think you get them on Rebops. I noticed that Cetera's Rebop 4 (when I was repacking it) that it just has ordinary strap buttons. I want a LX4 or Rebop, but 2 Spectors within 2 weeks is a little excessive for me [/quote] It's not excessive.... it's called Spector GAS and I'm its biggest victim! lol! Join me won't you?! No Schaller pins on my ReBop?! Ah well, I'm sure at the price I paid for it my budget can stretch to a pack of new Schallers...

I have 37 basses & 7 electrics..... I don't consider it a problem.... and I love every one of them.

Just Schaller strap pins..... not locks....

[quote name='Crazykiwi' post='256692' date='Aug 6 2008, 08:28 PM']OK, but if Stuart has you on a retainer for promoting on the site, we have a few expenses that need taking care of... [/quote] If anyone's on a retainer on this site for promoting spector it should bloody well be me!! lol!

[quote name='Lee-Man' post='256456' date='Aug 6 2008, 04:46 PM']How depressed am I, you don't want to know what I paid for my NS4 [/quote] Don't worry.... Mike played this one..... and didn't like it AT ALL!! Yours was a winner.... Mike will be along in a minute....

That's because they're new stock.... and not 'bought out' ex-SoundControl stock...

[quote name='Mike Brooks' post='256377' date='Aug 6 2008, 03:21 PM']Well that's me sold hook line and sinker, one Blue Euro LX4 winging its way to Brooks Mansions!![/quote] Hey Mike!! Lovely stuff.... Welcome to SpectorWorld!

[quote name='cd_david' post='256224' date='Aug 6 2008, 01:04 PM']It was 10 years ago, but still absolute bargain at the time, I felt guilty knocking the guy down [/quote] Tell you what, I won't knock you down.... I won't even offer you the asking price..... I'l go HIGHER! I'll give you £330 for it

[quote name='niceguyhomer' post='256221' date='Aug 6 2008, 01:02 PM']Just arrived - coupla tiny dings on the back but apart from that , all is tickety-boo. It's not the colour I would have chosen but I'm quite please with it all the same. Pics....er hastily taken by the way and with it's brother... [/quote] Beautiful purchase!! Congrats!
