Easter bump

A 2002 Czech-built Spector Euro4 in a very fetching Black Cherry Burst finish. [center]In excellent, almost unblemished condition.[/center] [center]This is a Euro 4, not the Euro 4LX. This model is much scarcer, as it was only made for a short while between 2001 and 2003. Bass Chatter Discreet, tells me that Cetera (a Spector afficionado and collector) believes this pre-LX all-maple Euro to be closer to the authentic tone of the USA NS-2s compared with the later LX models.[/center] [center]The workmanship, hardware and finish are all superb, making the bass a real pleasure to look at and more importantly to play. It’s hard to imagine that the U.S. models could be better.[/center] [center] The fret board and markers are lovely, the frets are in great condition and the neck-through construction helps to make the bass comfortable to play and gives easy access to the higher frets. The neck feels fast, smooth and a breeze to navigate. The 9 volt active circuit is a powerful beast, with an impressive level of boost available. The instrument is well balanced on the strap and weighing in at only 9lbs 12oz it’s comfortable to wear.[/center] [center]The condition is exceptionally good, with hardly any visible wear. It was only whilst photographing the bass for this advert that I noticed a slight blemish on the back edge, just about visible in pic 7.[/center] [center]The gold finish has faded/worn on top edge of the bridge, one again check out the pics.[/center] [center]I rehearsed this bass a few days back and it was a pleasure to play. Our set is very varied, some old rock, pop, soul, funk and disco I was able to get the tone and sound I wanted for all of the above. It sounded great with a pick and finger style.[/center] [center]So why sell such an amazing instrument?[/center] [center]I really thought it was going to be a keeper, the problem for me though, is that I purchased it as a back up for gigs. My amp only has one channel and given that this bass needs eq’ing very differently to my main gigging bass, it would cause me problems if I had to swap in a hurry.[/center] [center]I guess that I could buy a second Spector, change my amp or use a pedal but it probably makes sense to stick with my P basses.[/center] [center]I might change my mind but in the meantime it’s up for sale at £775.[/center] [center]Bank Transfer is fine.[/center] [center]Cash on collection even better.[/center] [center]Pay Pal but buyer pays fees.[/center] [center]I’m really hoping a Bass Chatter will want to collect this from my place in Herts.[/center] [center]I’m not happy posting a through neck instrument unless in a hardcase, which I don’t have.[/center] [center]If collection is not possible, then the only option would be to factor in for the additional cost of a hard case and of course the courier charge.
