    Withdrawn - US Spector Shorty

    in Basses For Sale

    Posted · Edited by three

    Thanks very much Mike, Mikkel (and to those that have pm'd) - this really is a stunning bass and my photographs don't do any justice to the finish. I'm trying to get some better photographs but waiting for decent light (in Manchester...) Just to confirm, I'm not looking for any trades on this thanks (sorry, but thanks for some lovely offers!). The only bass that might be of trade interest is a high-end Alembic short-scale (sig or series I or II) - with cash from my end obviously.

    In response to enquiries:

    Weight - very light at 7.8lbs - balance and ergonomics (this has the Spector contoured body) imply that it's a breeze to wear and play for extended periods.

    Case - this comes with an 'as new' Spector Classic hard case. I think it's a full-size case for standard US NS models, rather than something shorter and designed specifically for the Shorty - consequently, there's a very snug fit for body, neck and head and plenty of room in the internal compartment and above the headstock. Locks etc. are gold and the case bears the Spector logo in gold. I really do need better images. In all, a stunning package at a bargain price (IMO of course)

    Unusual Headless Throughneck Whatmake Bass

    An unusual and very attractive bass (to me at least) - 'good to see something out of the ordinary. Some inspiration from Alembic (and other small-scale builders) but a unique take - the body is not unlike an Essence. Somebody must know more. Quality of parts and construction appears to be very good. If I wasn't 300 miles away, I'd be very interested in examining further. Good luck with the sale

    In true BC/forum style I'm going to suggest something that looks great but I've never actually played - the Shuker JJ Burnell sig.

    Couldn't agree more - Jon does a number of brilliant takes on the P - my PJ has some of the JJB features but other custom elements that make it immensely playable and versatile. Shuker has got to be worth consideration (though for touring, I'd be happy with a US or Japanese Fender - I'd also get a Peli case and try to do most of the handling of the bass myself)

    Apologies, this bass is now withdrawn from sale

    An absolutely outstanding Spector Shorty in trans black satin stain over quilt maple. Cosmetically, functionally and electronically perfect - no dents, dings, dongs or scratches. Realistically, the bass could easily pass for new. Set-up last week with a ridiculously low action (I play with a very light touch) and re-strung with D'Addario 40-95 gauge nickel rounds. The tone is pure Spector - fat, with a big mid roar - the bass has EMG 35TW humbuckers (single/dual selectable on pull pots) and an Aguilar OBP circuit with selectable mid points. The bass is extremely hot though extremely versatile. Playability is outstanding - really good fun, beautiful balance and ergonomics - the bass is hard to put down. Why am I selling? Time for playing has reached critically constrained levels and when I do play, it's my Status Streamline (even smaller than the Spector and out if it's bag - the Spector is protected in its case).

    Body 4A Quilt Maple over dark US walnut - lovely figuring - trans black satin stain over the quilt
    Neck - 3 piece rock maple bolt-on (5 bolt), again with some lovely figuring. Graphite reinforced. Pau Ferro fingerboard with 16" radius and 1.61" nut
    Pickups - EMG 35TW with single coil/dual coil switching
    Circuit - Aguilar OBP3: bass, treble, mid (with push/pull frequency select)
    Original Spector NS curved body style
    30 3/8" scale, 22 frets, Deep Socket Neck
    Black Hardware, Custom Hipshot A style Brass Bridge
    Gotoh GB70 Tuners
    Dunlop dual Straplocks (pins only)
    Serial: Spector Shorty #23
    Weight: 7.8lbs - light but solid and beautifully balanced.

    I haven't gigged or rehearsed this bass - the condition is genuinely excellent. It comes with the original Spector hard case - again, this could easily pass for new.

    Price is £1250 (firm - a bit of a bargain really - look around, and there are very few of these globally, let alone in Europe or the UK). No trades thanks - I'm really not looking for more basses.

    Collection in Manchester or I can ship - UK will be around £25 (without insurance). Any questions, please just ask

    SOLD: Fodera NYC Empire 5 string, Black, big price drop

    I had a Fodera MG5 with a very similar neck (just the addition of stringers and through body obviously). The neck on this bass looks every bit as well constructed - a thing of real beauty. The neck is worth the asking price alone - then there's the circuit and pickups and bridge etc. I'd seriously consider parting this out - can't believe it's still here (incidentally I was joking about parting out!)

    Short scale basses

    There are more short-scale options than ever now - some very high-end professional instruments too (SW-1, Spector Shorty, Alembic). Have a look in the Gear Porn section - there's a short-scale thead that should give you some ideas re: brands, shapes, options etc.
