Workhorse basses, sub £350 you’re laughing

Thinking for myself...there’s definitely a regained enthusiasm for Spector basses. Looking at possibility of a Euro TW for new year. Just so ive not got 2 the same.

Yeah - a proper set neck, 2 pickup version. not a p/j bass 😔

There was a planned Rivoli Reissue a few years ago, they did some casinos with trans shell pickguards and lighter bursts etc. I waited, waited and waited...the guitars came and went, the basses just disappeared off the price list. there was a photo of one on the initial press release. It was more like - the casino was denoted as 1961 reissue.

Like L@@K on eBay...

YOURS 😉

Wonderful. That’s a beautiful bass @BritBass 2 - great that is a “famous” one too. Pinup first bass players all over the world 🤣

So @BritBass 2 is that yours in the original advert - the grain looks remarkably similar. Its in great Nick too!

Oh my god. That’s wonderful

Weighed this earlier - 3 times to get an average. 9lbs every time. Guess that means it’s...9lbs. Did the same with the Sadowsky which is also 9lbs on the nose. Weird, feels lighter than the Spector- maybe because it’s physically larger so it’s spread out a bit more.

There have been a few Rivoli’s on eBay recently... Have no idea what use I’d have for one, but I love the look of them.

Keith bought a status from me - lovely chap. We’re working on something with Mr East regarding the pre, but it’s been a pleasure. Many thanks x

When I was 16/17 I was game for anything

Wonder where it is

This was it 😆

This was it on eBay last time... Long shot - do any of the Spectorphiles on here know of an SSD NS-94 with LED’s in the fingerboard. It was on eBay a good few years ago, but in about 2000/01 it was mine and I always wanted it back. This isn’t it - but it looked very similar.

I had an NS-94 like this with LED’s many moons ago and have been looking for a Spector for a good while now

Pontypridd

No sold the status to sort wife’s car which we’re limping across the finish line until we sort a new one (to cater for Iris’ Wheelchairs etc) in jan/feb. Should've changed it 2 years ago, but when we realised Iris would be a wheelchair user, we elected to hold on until we knew where we stood on motability etc. Sold a non functioning (albeit still fairly posh) watch and an Ashdown rig to fund the Spector.

Omega geneve - about 35/40 years old. Have got one which belonged to my grandad in my safe, gets serviced etc - wore it for his and Grandmas funerals, wedding day, brother wore on his wedding day... This one was a cheeky bid on eBay About 3 years ago but wouldn’t hold time and I meant to sort - but didn’t get Round to it and he fancied it. Too nice for work, so I didn’t need it. Wear older Seiko 5’s and a couple of Swiss rotary’s for work. I made on the deal as the prices are creeping so he still got a good deal.

Genuinely thought I was turning up to look at an overpriced legend...so I was absolutely buzzing. The natural one they’d had previously was more than a fair bit worn...

My drummer is mega excited - he toured Germany with a guy who was an endorsing artist for EBS about 5/6 years ago “I furkin lurve dat ebs click when der’z slapping”

A new arrival. Been 20 years since my last Spector.

Sold my Status in a mad panic as the Mrs’ car is making funny noises. It’d been a close second to my sadowsky and I bought it in a mad rush because it was drop dead gorgeous and local... Anyhow, I wanted to have funds in just in case it’s not a simple fix. It’s booked in for the weekend so should be sorted fairly cheaply. Yesterday I Sold a (non working) vintage watch to a man across the street (he mentioned in passing he liked watches the other week and sent him pics and entered into negotiations). I had sorted my amp situation so wanted to move my Ashdown rig on. Got a mailshot from Local PMT the other week that they were doing a sale on “pre loved” gear in store. Messaged them to see if they still had a natural Spector LX i’d spotted last month in stock. ”It’s still here, but it’s red, not natural...” I went down to see what they were on about. Love at first sight is nonsense...NOT. Jeez. Agreed on price, and then did the “Ive got a p/x can you look at it...” the guy at PMT I’ve known for years (probably 20+) and he’s the manager, great bloke. Did a decent P/X value. And for the price of the watch and a bit more...I was leaving without my old amp and owning a Euro LX.
