So as of this morning I have purchased my first Spector. Should be with me soon. In the meantime, lets have some Friday bass porn.... Now to go on the hunt for gold hardware!
-
Hi all, can I just ask a pricing question on here please. Ive have been after a Spector since I heard the tone Leigh Foxx of Blondie gets on his live. I love the gloss black look, crown inlays and curved body of the NS2 and recently have been offered that chance at a Euro LX 4 - gloss black, tone pump, EMG pups - literally like new. The only slight put off is the chrome hardware as opposed to the gold. Price im being quoted is £1300 including a spector case. The bass is spotless and plays really well. The seller did mention its a supposedly Ltd Edition with full maple wings. Does that price seem reasonable or am I right in thinking its a little of the steeper side of things?

and sold via FB marketplace. Thanks for the interest peeps -
Right, seems i rushed without doing my research. Having looked at sold items on ebay i have probably overpriced this. As such a whacking great discount to £575 collected from a very mork and mindy Bolton

Here we have the best P bass ive ever played (and I include a few 70’s p’s in that) - this is my MIM Classic 50’s reissue in burst/gold/maple - in my opinion the best P bass livery. After a few issues with my job and the mrs’s job during the pandemic ive decided to thin the herd and have less money tied up in nice basses and amps. Ive always had a p bass in my stable but recently ive been really into my Spector and it is covering all bases (pun intended) at the moment. The neck on this is a dream, a proper chunky piece of maple that is rock solid. It didn’t need altering at all when going from the rounds it came with to the current flats. Since its been in my care I have upgraded the pickups to my go to P bass pups – Alex Pribora vintage spec (handwound in Russia, Alex makes amazing bass and guitar pickups) and of course a Kiogon loom. The strings she wears currently are again my usual’s, Elites Detroit Flats giving a lovely thump but maintaining a good growl. Only major ‘dings’ to note is the previous owner appears to have head a mishap and a chuck has been taken out the back of the headstock as pictured and a paint chip near the base of the neck which has subsequently been covered over with black marker. Never bothered me and the headstock ding cant be seen form the front. Other than that usual playing wear which I have tried to picture as best I can. I do have the bridge cover somewhere that was fitted by previous owner but it never came with a pup cover. Comes with an immaculate hard case and can be tried and heard singing through an SVT here in Bolton over a socially distanced visit or potentially could arrange UK courier. Looking for £700 ono collected ideally Pics to follow asap

What is the full chain that creates your sound? Finger to ear...

Fingers or 1.14 tortex pick Elites Flatwounds Bullet Coily cable Fender 50’s MIM Reissue Ampeg SVT II non pro Ampeg SVT 212av cab simple and sounds amazing 🤩 -
I snapped one up a few weeks ago for £350 inc case. You see the prices on Facebook/ebay that people are asking and its crazy. Look at sold items on ebay for a more true reflection on price. Great guitars but wouldnt pay more than £400 for a decent one
-
Ive played them exclusively the last few years from 610, 410he, 410hlf, B410 to my current 212av. Wonderful cabs for my type of sound (vintagey, P bass, flats etc). Tried to go lightweight a few years back at significant cost but it was too much of a compromise tone wise.

Bought some obbm speaker cables off Tony. Turns out he is reasonably local so the leads were hand delivered. Superb transaction and one of the good guys 👌
-
Whilst not strictly 'Solid State' (although SS power sections) ive always like the Ashdown Spyder series (both the 330 and 550) and the Warwick Tubepath 5.1

Always been a P bass man. My main squeeze for years was a MIJ Fender PB70, then a 1978 Tokai Hardpuncher. Always had a back up bass tho that i would switch in and out.....until i got this - a MIM 50’s classic. Since then NOTHING else gets picked up. All ive done to it is my usual P bass mods - pribora pups and my fave flatwounds. Stunning bass to play 👌

Major bargain! Excellent amps

The Mk4’s are generally a bit useless for bass. Very noisy and become “squishy” way too quick. Can be had fir around £350/£400 tho so cheap enough to scratch an itch i suppose.

Basslines you struggled to learn then...BOOM!

During lockdown I developed a fascination with the playing and tone of both Nigel Harrison and then latterly Leigh Foxx of Blondie. I worked through Atomic and Dreaming - both relatively simple lines but Atomic has some strange variations of the same line and that mini run Harrison does during the verse/chorus is surprisingly tricky. -
Sold ont bay -
Same here. SVT II non pro for everything from rehearsals to gigs. Cant get THAT sound from anything else

As part of my ongoing project ive received these pickups. Obviously they are the older solder type rather than the more modern solderless ones EMG now seem to produce. However, how can i tell exactly what EMG pickups these are? Im assuming they are an active set (im hoping so anyway) and once my project is at the wiring stage ill probably whip it off to my local tech. Hopefully these will eventually match up with a EMG jazz bridge pup and a spector tonepump pre amp! Anyway, any thoughts on what model of EMG these may be?
-
Possible trades for something active, 4 stringed and ideally in a P/J format (desperately seeking this Spector/Leigh Foxx tone on a budget!)
-
Bought another P bass loom from John, my first with the Bourne pots however. Love the solid feel, I like to feel a bit of resistance on the pots rather than a too 'loose' kind of feel if that makes sence. These are really nice. Usual clear instructions and mini screwdriver included!

What's your fantasy Lotto jackpot bass gear shopping list?
Pow_22 replied to Painy's topic in General Discussion
1) Spector NS2 in gloss black with gold hardware 2) Ampeg SVT 50th Anniversary head 3) Ampeg heritage B15 -
Would consider trades for a Fender Precision Lyte. Must be in the Montego black colour with the gold hardware

Don't suppose you'd be interested in selling the thumper by any chance?
