On hold...

Another bass that I'm parting with as part of my clear-out/ downsizing. Acquired here IIRC - I'm not a fretless player, much as I'd like to be, so this needs to find a new home. Not sure of the history behind this - you don't see too many of them in blue - normally in Orange. I emailed a number of shops, etc in an attempt to find out how many were made in blue - nobody seemed to know and it was suggested that it was made for a show then sold on afterwards. No idea how much truth there is in this and I'm happy to amend this post if others know more. Here are the specs from online: https://www.andertons.co.uk/bass-dept/bass-guitars/modern-bass-guitars/spector-bass-spectorcore-4-piezo-lined-fretless It's currently wearing some flatwounds of unknown heritage. I'll get more photos done over the weekend

I had this up for sale earlier this year as an "either/or" sale - this and an NS94. The plan was to sell one, keep the other. Both basses are excellent examples of Stu Spector's fine work and, if anything, were advertised "too cheap". I can honestly say that I wouldn't be selling this if I could keep hold of it. I've got a few health problems currently which are "forcing" the sale of a number of my basses/amps/cabs. Watch the For Sale threads for details of the clear out. As anybody who has ever owned one of these would agree, you'd be hard pushed to find anything of similar quality for the money. I'm asking £325 which is closer to what similar items have sold for recently.

Tonally... ...but get somebody to help with moving the rig

Just got my AH300 back from the Amp Tech - "dodgy" (sorry if that's too technical for you) socket on the back now repaired. Said Amp Tech now in possession of my AH150 with a dry joint issue. This is ridiculously underpriced...GLWTS

Having a few financial and health problems currently so taking this opportunity to move this on. I have this advertised elsewhere so if you're serious, be quick. I had to import this in from the States - there are very few of these in the UK - they built about 270 basses and guitars during the 70s/80s. I also had a fretless (green) which I sold here and I believe that there may be one other owned by a BCer in the UK. Named owners include Bjorn from ABBA and Tina Weymouth from Talking heads. Check the videos in a lower post. These sell in the USA for over £3,500 (not dollars). Joe Veillette is currently building hollow bodied basses http://www.veilletteguitars.com/press_citron.shtml#:~:text=Veillette-Citron was a pioneer,first-ever production baritone guitars. I always said that this would be the last bass to go but as an owner of several custom basses I think it would only be right to hang on to those built for me by @Andyjr1515. I often drag this out for visiting BCers to try so many of you will have seen and tried this. This is now around 40 years old and has a number of little knocks which are hard to photograph but can only be noticed on close inspection. Any serious buyers are welcome to view. Here are a few photos:

Love the flame neck...I'm sure some discerning BCer will be along shortly to take it off your hands. GLWTS
