captain black Posted February 16, 2013 Posted February 16, 2013 (edited) Hi, I've hummed and hah'd about this and decided that's its now time for me to part company with my Spector. It's a beautiful bass which is a dream to play, especially for a 5 string. My tastes, I'm afraid, are for a more passive tone. I loved it so much I replaced the tone pump with a Warwick preamp (corvette) and replaced the 40DC pickups with a 40P5 and a 40j. Sounds great but I need a more traditional tone to be happy if I'm honest. I'll include the old tonepump (no trim pot) and a 40dc with the sale in case that's more to your liking. Looking for £650 Collection from Newcastle preferred. Don't think I've even got any hard cases left to post in, sorry. Pics to follow when I get home and manage to prize my son away from the pc.

captain black Posted February 18, 2013 Author Posted February 18, 2013 Thanks. It's a beaut. Just after a fender jazz of some description really. I'll miss it though.
andy67 Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 Petty you're not looking for an svt-3pro and dome cash!!
Bassist on the Run Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 I've got a fender aerodyne jazz plus cash your way?
captain black Posted February 18, 2013 Author Posted February 18, 2013 Hmm, I've got a PJ already. I'm ideally after a more traditional jazz. Ta though. Might come back to you if that's ok.
captain black Posted February 21, 2013 Author Posted February 21, 2013 Bump for slight price drop. Lots of great basses for sale just now. Buyers market.
MikeBass Posted February 22, 2013 Posted February 22, 2013 very nice - I'm the opposite to you - love active sounds (a Thumb man really!) and I have an active Jazz fiver that I have for sale that you may like... Newcastle may be a bit too far to check it out though.. it's here anyway: http://basschat.co.uk/topic/198541-fender-jazz-dlx-five-string-bass-usa-made-soundclips-added/
Jellyfish Posted February 22, 2013 Posted February 22, 2013 Lovely bass, what is the top made out of?
MikeBass Posted February 22, 2013 Posted February 22, 2013 [quote name='Jellyfish' timestamp='1361547307' post='1987364'] Lovely bass, what is the top made out of? [/quote] Its an alder core with a top and back of ash. The colour is crimsonburst & I believe one of the reason its darker at the edges is to hide the join.

Shobaleader One Posted February 24, 2013 Posted February 24, 2013 i know you said you were after a jazz bass but would you consider a trade for a p bass??? (im also in Newcastle, so that would eliminate any problems posting/trying out) http://basschat.co.uk/topic/200601-usa-2009-5-string-fender-p-bass-trade-for-a-5-string-j-or-pj-bass/

captain black Posted March 6, 2013 Author Posted March 6, 2013 Just bumps the post back to the top of the page.
captain black Posted March 7, 2013 Author Posted March 7, 2013 Price drop to £650. Now I've decided to part with I just need it gone. This includes both the original preamp, the Warwick corvette preamp and the extra EMG. Anyone?
tonyf Posted March 8, 2013 Posted March 8, 2013 Hubba hubba. Such a bargain. A LOT of bass for that amount of cash. Bump!
captain black Posted March 8, 2013 Author Posted March 8, 2013 Cheers Tony, certainly is. I've now got a hard case so can post no problem for a bit extra.
