  1. Mint condition other than a small crack in the lacquer near the neck pocket. Now includes Hard Case This semi-hollow, acoustically chambered bass is based on the legendary NS-2000 shape, and also features a Piezo Bridge (Fishman ) with active tone control. A single EMG® HZ dual humbucking passive pickup combines with the specially selected maple tonewood to give you a bass with a sound unlike any other. Spector have been making bass guitars for famous artists since 1977. Since then Stuart Spector's select team of designers has grown in stature, often in close collaboration with many world-famous performers. Gene Simmons (KISS) commissioned several Brooklyn Era SB-1 basses from Stuart in the late 1970's. Some of the modifications included a special gloss black paint job with white binding along the sides of the body. Stuart shaved down the normally bulbous horns of the SB-1 into points. In 1982 Sting favoured Spector's NS-2, and relyed upon it while out on the Police's Synchronicity Tour. The NS-2 was also the weapon of choice for Jack Bruce (Cream), who favoured the instrument during his 80s solo career. The Spector range has since become extensive and varied. In response to fans constant demand for 'a bass like theirs', Spector collaborated closely with several leading artists to create the Spector Signature range. These basses have a distinct engineering and performance pedigree - the roster includes such legends as Jason Newsted, formerly of Metallica, Ian Hill (Judas Priest), who has been playing Spector Bass guitars since 1985, and Rex Brown. From his earliest days with Pantera and later with Down, Rex has been a loyal Spector Bass player and supporter.

  3. [quote name='Christian Houmann' timestamp='1414067436' post='2585408'] How is the weight? [/quote] I've updated the post to include the weight
  4. I'll weigh it tonight when I get in - only got a bathroom scales to do it on though.
  5. I bought this bass at the end of August and it is an absolute masterpiece and by far and away the best bass I've ever owned . Unfortunately I now need the funds for a different project so need to sell so no trades please. The bass features a 33" Scale, 16mm spacing, strung E-high C with a hipshot tuner on the E The woods involved are a walnut body with a split padouk and poplar burl top. Neck is 3-piece maple with an ebony board and padouk binding. Features a Bartolini pre- with a couple of custom pickups - the bridge p/up being incorporated into a ramp design. Comes with the original Zakrzewski padded bag. The control switches are volume, pan, tone, 3 band and then active/passive switch, parallel/coilsplit/series switch for the bridge and a mid freq toggle (trim points inside too for further tweaking) The bass has just been restrung with a set of Optima golds and I have added some JIm Dunlop Straplocks and it comes with a new Levy's leather strap. Weighs approximately 8lb /just under 4kg on the bathroom scales. £2250+ P&P - Collection from Liverpool preferred but happy for you to arrange a courier at your own risk.

  6. Bought Graeme's Irish bouzouki -exactly as described and perfectly packed. Wouldn't hesitate to deal with again.
  7. The Mensinger Cazpars I have are certainly the best value basses I have ever bought so hopefully the bass lounge will also stock some interesting and good value for money foreign guitars as well as those from the British luthiers. When the GAS strikes and we go bass shopping it's nice to find something a bit different.
  8. Just bought Pete's Zakrzewski. Excellent comms and a trouble free transaction. Hope to deal with him again (Maybe for one of those Foderas )
  9. Hi Peter is it in mint condition ? How much was it new ? Regards, Ed
  10. Hi, Looks gorgeous -is it a different model to this one ? http://basschat.co.uk/topic/240493-fs-kala-u-bass-solid-body-sub/page__hl__kala+sub__fromsearch__1
  11. Adrian is great to deal with too !
  12. Hi Tom, I'll take it. Pm'd delivery details.
  13. I've just sold one, it was a lovely looking guitar and really nice to play but I thought the electrics in it were pants so my experience was also in line with everything stated above. Pick one up for cheap and get it upgraded.
  14. I know , I think it is the same bass. The markings in the grain look identical
  15. [quote name='wotsy' timestamp='1398040727' post='2429847'] I think he meat this one: http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/221420202877?nav=SEARCH [/quote]
  16. Is it this one http://basschat.co.uk/topic/124283-sold-cort-elrick-5-sold/ doesn't seem like such a bargain now.
  17. Fancied a new acoustic so I took myself down to Dawsons in Liverpool to check out the guitars. It was really quiet so I could pretty much try as many as I wanted. I had a budget of 500 so had quite a few options but ended up picking up the Talman for 209 quid and haven't put it down all weekend. Lovely thin neck with a nice low action and it looks stunning for the money. I'm far from being a great guitarist but for anybody looking for something to dabble with I'd certainly recommend it.

  18. Not wishing to promote a stereotype but while inside one in Liverpool, taxis were pulling up and waiting while blokes in tracksuits tried to offload tellies ! And they only offered me 25 quid for my Indie Rickenfaker.
  19. Hi Steve, Did you sell it ?
  20. Hi pinball what condition is it in - any marks or blemishes ? Regards, Ed
  21. Just awaiting delivery of the spalted maple 5 string in the centre. But check out these babies ! [attachment=160414:cazpar5.jpg] [attachment=160415:cazpar6.jpg] and my current one [attachment=160416:caz120103.jpg]
  22. Buy it -you know you are going to anyway You could be dead tomorrow !
  23. Hi Tomi what scale is it and are there any blemishes on it at all ? Does the price include shipping to the U.K ?
