As usual, a great instrument from a great seller. I wish I could take this from your hands, but good luck with the sale Hugues! -
[quote name='Paulhauser' timestamp='1417377527' post='2619773'] I will always have a sweep spot for these Japaneese TRB's. [/quote] Ehhh well I wish I could be sweep picking as good as to have a sweeP spot LOL :-) So it is a sweeT spot I wanted to write. BTW this TRB is getting so much love here that I'm sure it will be gone soon. -
Great bass! A second generation TRB 6 was my main instrument for years and I will always have a sweep spot for these Japaneese TRB's. Whoever decides to buy this will end up with a great instrument! GLWTS!

So I had a TT5 with the two band EQ. Pickups were Delanos. It was with alder boby and maple board. It was my first modern jazzbass and quite liked it. The neck was comfortable, the stringspacing as well, only it was a tad bit heavy. Quality was really good and it had a feeling of a well made instrument. After I got my Sadowsky I sold it but still hold these basses in high regard. I think if someone is on the market for an active 5 string jazzbass kind of instrument, Sandbergs are one of the best bet in this price range.

Yes I did. A 5 string model, TT5.

Hey, you all know you want this! Mark is a great guy to deal with and these are fantastic instruments! I had one a couple of years ago and even though I have sold that, my main instrument is still a Spector EURO 5. Grab this and you wont be disappointed. Have a free bump Mark!

I've just received az Ibanez SR5006 from Hugues. The bass is in a perfect condition, probably never had such "mint" second hand instument so far :-) Tha transaction was great and I'd deal with him anytime. Credit goest to Basschat, this is such a great place for trustworthy bassplayers :-)
-
Thanks Hugues!
-
It is very fortunate - for me at least - that this is not the six string version of this model otherwise I would have to buy it. :-) Good luck with the sale, these are great basses!
-
I've sold a Spector to Mark. This was our second deal and all went really well. Great communication throughout the transaction and everyone is happy. Deal with him with absolute confidence!
-
Thank you Mark! Fancy a deal again? :-) Anyway, I already have second thoughts about selling this so might keep it. But for now it is still for sale.

After much contemplation, up for sale is my Spector Euro 6LX Pics:https://www.dropbox.com/sh/xxlt0ej34lncwe5/AAAECBjdYYA-RwCC-EOFlCuza?dl=0 My Spector Euro 5 is my main bass, I get the all the 'Spector tone' I need from that and I use that bass for about 100% of my gigs and recordings these days and I have a new six string bass coming in that I intend to use for other projects so I figure I'm letting this go. This Euro 6 is all stock, 35" scale, 24 frets, EMG DC's, alder / walnut / maple wings, non-adjustable TonePump preamp. The finish is something I'd call natural. it is not the gloss finish or the matte clear coating I had / have on my other Spectors. Very silky feeling, I wish my Euro 5 had this finish. Condition is good, it has some marks around the pu area, but they are not really visible from even a couple of feet due to the figure of the maple top. It has one of the best figured maple top I have ever seen for a Euro model Spector. Price: Sold! Price includes a generic hard shell case and [u]shipping within the EU.[/u] This costs almost 2000£ new. (1999 to be precise in BassDirect) No trades thank you. Thanks, Paul

I'd go on the second hand way if I were you. 3K is a lot of money and you can find many basses far below that limit that are really good and can do many things. And once you get your preferencs together, you can spend high money to get the ONE. I have found that ergonomics are playing a much bigger role for me with a six string bass than with the fivers. String spacing, neck dimensions, scale lenght, weight etc. are more crucial for me with the six string basses. So can be good to go through a couple of basses to get a feel of what your preferences are. From my personal experience: Ibanez SR Prestige line: Japaneese craftmanship, great basses. I own a SR3006 and SR5006. Tight spacing, very comfortable basses and they have a very useful sound throughout the fretboard. If I were to bring only one six string bass to the deserted island till my dying days, this would be that. Yamaha TRB 6 strings. The II series bolt on necks are selling stupidly cheap and are freat (TRB II6) 19mm spacing, 35" scale but the nect is thin around the nut end and very comfortable. The high end TRB 6IIP is one of the most verstaile basses I have ever heard, its got piezzo as well. This is quite rare used and holds its price. Spector EURO6: great Spector sound, 35" scale. I own one currently and exploring the possibilities of it. I love the sound of it (my EURO5 is my main instrument )

I always love to play this song by world/fusion/jazz band Djabe. Not really hard to learn (unline bassist tamas Barabas's other lines) and sound great when played along. http://youtu.be/BycYUW3HJw0

Manu, what strings do you have on this? I like them as all of them seems tapered. Good luck with the sale! -
I like these Thumb NT's. Kinda class in their own, even within the WW staple. I have owned and used a Thumb NT5 from '91 and while we weren't getting on too well I still respect the unique features of this model. Also I have to say that some of the best fretless sounds I have ever heard were coming from Thumb fretless basses. Have a free bump and good luck with the sale.

This is now SOLD!

I've just sold an Ibanez SR1005EFM that has a really good B string and I believe its new price was under 1000 GBP. That bass is 34", neck through and has decent woods. So there are exceptions but I have to agree that higher build and material quality will yield better B sound [quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1414750024' post='2592832'] Also I have yet to find a 5-string bass, of any scale length, with a new retail price of under £1000 that has a decent sounding and feeling low B.

+1 I have found .135 strings working well for A on a 34" scale. I have also found that strings with tapered end gave me slightly more pronounced sound. I is all now not an issue with my Spector 5 string (35" scale) [quote name='AttitudeCastle' timestamp='1414724811' post='2592721'] All about string tension. Currently have a 34" scale 4 string tuned to Drop E/Drop Eb (one octave below normal E on a 4 string) and there have been talks (which I've hushed but they keep coming back!) of finding the brown note of low C#... I find the lower you go, the more you need to work on it. And shape your tone to match, cutting the excessive low lows and dialling in the right mids to still stay articulate. For reference I use between a .100 and a .110 for a standard E on a 4 string (.110 is my preferred in standard tuning), with a .130/.135 for a low B and in Drop A use a .140. For A standard I like .140/ for the A and .115 for the D. [/quote]

Nice top! Are you sure about the 35" scale? All these EURO4's have been 34" as far as I know (there is the EURO4 LX TW that has humbuckaers and has 35" scale) Good luck with the sale!
-
I think it was made in Taiwan. I had one and it is a very good instrument for this price!
-
A deal is in the works so this is ON HOLD until further notice.

Aaaaand replied. Bass still available. (at least until I got a reply :-) )

Due to a twist of fate in late summer I have ended up with more Spector Euros than I can handle (if ever there is such a thing...:-) ) One Euro6 and two Euro5's. I have decided to move one of the Euro 5's, the blue one with the gloss finish because I can not stand as she's staring at me from it's stand full of blame (due to not being played) It is a great instrument but I seem to prefer satin finish'd Euros to gloss ones The bass is a full stock Euro 5LX, 35" scale, maple/walnut/alder wings, EMG DC's and Tonepump (non adjustable). Color is a lovely blue that can be black or blue depending on how the light hits it. It has some small dings on it, the worst is a chip on the lower edge (see pic) These are cometics, the bass works and plays 100%, (truss rod, electronics etc.) Action is low and the strings have plenty of life in them. This one is for sale for a firm 800[size=4]£. [/size] [size=4]This price includes shipping within the EU. [/size] [size=4]It does not have a case but will be packed well.[/size] [size=4]Also includes of your choice of knobs: the current gold ones or the stock black ones. [/size] [size=4]Let me know which one you prefer and I ship with those on.[/size] I'm looking for sale, but am willing to listen to trade offers, but you have to be able to ship the bass you are offering to Hungary. Stingray 5s, 6 string Ibanez, Spector US XL's, Zon basses, Sadowsky 5's etc. can be of interest. I can add cash for the right trade. (not amps and cabs, except for a pair of EBS 112 NEO'S) Please don't be offended if I say no as I'm happy with the selection of basses I have.
