Lorne Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 (edited) Ok, last year I sold a bass with the intention of paying some bills, I forgot to turn the computer off and spotted a Euro Spector in need of help in the U.S.A., my friend drove 160 miles round trip for me to get it Anyway, the previous owner, hereby known as douchenozzle, decided to defret the bass, file the nut to lower the action for fretless and angle the tuners like a Warwick (Why not just buy a Warwick if you like that look???) It took me about 20 seconds to realise I can't play fretless, and another 2 seconds to realise Douchenozzle is a bigger one than I at first thought, he had used roundwounds on a fretless! So, off it went for a complete refret and fretboard sanding to remove the worst of it, also a new Brass nut was cut and the tuners were returned to their normal positions The G string tuner has the Schaller plate damaged on the rear of it, but functions absolutely perfectly (Just being totally open about it) Bass has a few minor dings, most by the jack socket and one at the rear of the neck behind the nut, minor surface scratches, not many, I'm probably being picky, but letting you know about everything It has an Aguilar pre-amp and could do with a new knob, as one of them seems to have lost some of it's splines The bass also has a Spector hardcase, some small pieces of Tolex missing, and a bit reglued down Pictures of how I got it [font=Calibri][/font] [font=Calibri][/font] [font=Calibri][/font] [font=Calibri][/font] [font=Calibri][/font] [font=Calibri]Looking for £800 plus shipping, local pick up is fine[/font] [font=Calibri]I hear the Emerald green finish is rare, there is no need to sell anything, just a rush of poo to the brain[/font] [font=Calibri]Let me know what you think [/font] Edited July 16, 2012 by Lorne
