Money sent, have a bump on me.

New bass has arrived so this is up for sale too. Would really like a high end Squier though.

I'll repeat Spector Q4 Pro?

If you want an odd shape, how about a Spector Q4 Pro?

Another bump, maybe.

^ I noticed that sticker, didn't dare google to find out who they were. No worries about not wanting to trade back! I tend to move through basses really quickly. Its a fantastic bass and you gave me a great deal but its just not quite 'the one'. I should point out to any people considering trading for this that there is a high chance that I'll swap it for something else in no time at all.

Will passive pickups do? You have PM.

Bump

No longer a feeler. Definitely want something to put flatwounds on if you know what I mean.

Just to clarify things I'd like to trade for. I'm judging this bass's value at £200-£300. Classic Vintage, Deluxe or Vintage Modified Squier basses. Low end Fenders (MiM). Reissue Fenders (I'll add £50 if I'm lucky enough to get an offer ) Yamaha BB series, preferably 614/615. I'm also interested in amps and effects. Particularly a cheaper head (Ashdown Little Giant) and maybe a 210 cab. If you want to offer anything else, cash included, then feel free to ask. The worst I can do is say no.

I'm having real trouble finding the exact model of it so I've made the thread title a little more ambiguous. I'll email Spector with the serial number to get the exact model. I still think my trade requirements are fair though. Found it. Its a Spector Q4 Pro, went for $750 (can't find a UK price) and they were made from 1999-2004. I'm assuming, looking at the serial, its a 2003 model. From snooping about the interwebs this was the line that the Professional Legend series replaced so I was close!

[u]About the bass:[/u] Tone video. (Through 1x15 amp and broken in strings, take this into account please.) [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SyjLgJ3aoj8"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SyjLgJ3aoj8[/url] Feel free to not comment about my shoddy playing I move basses around so fast I rarely get used to them. Flat basswood body (i.e. not the carved body you get on the high end Spectors.) Passive EMG-HZ pickups and a two band EQ. This means you can get some really nice clear tones. Not so easy for vintage vibe though. "Slate grey" finish and a quilted maple topwood. Looks black at first glance and dark purple under strong light. Proper meaty Spector bridge (unlike the low end models which use cheap low mass bridges.) Bolt on maple neck with rosewood fingerboard and pearl markers. Small tuners. "[i]Precision crafted in Korea[/i]". Serial is 0106803. Its in fairly good shape but has the usual swirly scratches and there's is a dent (or smoothed chip) on the side of the neck at the 10th fret. Luckily it is on the E side so you won't notice it while playing. [b]I'm including the case I got with it for free (as I didn't pay for it.) [/b] At the moment this is just a feeler, I prefer a more vintage sound but I'm going to play around with it and see if I fall in love with it like the ATK. What I'd like in return is a high-end Squier or a low-end Fender or similar (Yamaha BB series, etc. Not too fond of no-name brands though.) Also interested in hollowbodies and fretlesses. Wouldn't say no to a five stringer, definately say no to a 6 stringer! (Chunky fingers.) I think this a pretty reasonable offer, the new equivalent of this bass goes for £450. I WILL SHIP THIS TO ANYWHERE IN THE UK. As I'm after a trade we'd both pay our own couriers. [b]Thanks for looking, I'll have pics up a.s.a.p. Any questions? Just ask.[/b] Added a sale price of £180. Personally I think this price is rather low but I'd be a dick to ask for a higher price than I paid!

And about time too

You might get more interest if you wipe the finger marks off Also where are you based if you want collection? Interested in an ATK300? They go for about £400 new.

[quote name='simon1964' post='902807' date='Jul 23 2010, 08:51 AM']Well, as you ask, the pics are not doing the bass justice IMO. These are cracking basses. I used to have the five string version and the tone was very close to my stingray 4, but with some nice vintage P tones as well. And the sunburst is a nice finish, so I would get some better pics to show it off![/quote] Thanks very much I've updated the pics and the post. I still can't seem to do it justice as I've only got a webcam and a cameraphone to work with right now.

Sorted out the bass I'm getting which makes this the backup bass. I quite fancy a downgrade + cash I can use for upgrades.

Would you be interested in p/x on an Ibanez ATK.

OH come on.

Bumpage?

Nearly 1000 views and no sale

Feedback?

Did this use to be mine? I recognise the grain. If so I can vouch for this! And offer £140 off my ATK for it?

[quote name='Alfie' post='892870' date='Jul 12 2010, 03:29 PM']Thanks for the interest so far, this bass is still available. I have replied to all PMs. I am not looking to post the bass at the moment as I have no way of packaging it adequately, so I was hoping the pretty low price might encourage someone to come and pick it up.[/quote] Buy a semi hard case and add the cost on? That would still be an amazing deal and you'd open it up to more buyers.

Badump

And again.
