waynepunkdude Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 I've been offered a Spector for £150 it says special on the head stock making me assume its a cheepy, any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmo Valdemar Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Front or back of the headstock? As far as I can remember, I've only seen the logo on a Spector headstock - as well as the truss rod cover. The model tends to be on the back, so that should tell you exactly what it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RhysP Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 I'm not 100% sure, but I think it's a Q4 model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RhysP Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 I don't have the faintest idea to be perfectly honest with you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRBboy Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 I'm no Spector expert, but it looks like one of the far eastern ones, a bit like the current performer series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] It's definitely one of the far eastern ones, but I'm unsure as to which model as they renamed them all. Currently they're the "Legend" & " Performer" series but I think Waynes bass is an earlier incarnation. I would think it's got to have been a good buy for £150.00 though; I've not heard a bad word said about these import models.

silentbob Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Have a look here, should be able to work out which model it is. http://www.spectorbass.com/about/model_years.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmo Valdemar Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 (edited) Looks like an NS2000 Q4. I have the earlier version with the through neck which originally listed for around £800. You have an excellent bass there Wayne! Edited May 20, 2012 by Cosmo Valdemar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmo Valdemar Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Silly question, but are you sure it says 'special' on the truss rod cover? If it's a Q4 it should only say Spector - if you squint it [i]could [/i]read special... Not that this matters at all, I'm just sure I've never seen a Spector with anything other than the company name on the truss rod cover.
