AndyW Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 (edited) Hi Folks, Custom built USA Bolt-on NS-4H2 with a single Humbucker so, it has been labelled as an NS-4H1 by Spector. Specs as normal for the NS-4H2 with the following custom upgrades: Grade AAAAA Flame Maple Top Ultra Amber Finish Walnut Body (instead of Mahogany) Custom 'Sweet-spot' pick-up placement Single EMG 35TW pick-up (Single or Dual coil modes) Birdseye Maple Fingerboard Abalone Inlays Hipshot D-tuner (Aguilar OBP-3 Pre-amp) I received this Bass in early May from Bass Direct/Spector after the normal custom-build waiting period so, all is immaculate and shiny/new with no marks, dings at all and a new set of Elixir Bass strings has been fitted. Am absolutely in love with this Bass but prefer the ergonomics of my main Adamovic that I've been using for everything over the past 7+ years. New price including all the custom upgrades was £2200 Selling for [s]£1800[/s] £1500 ***SOLD*** Including Spector Fitted Hard Case, tools and unused Dunlop Straplocks More Photos are in the Sold Spector section of Bass Direct's website.

Flex Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 What is the philosophy of just a single pickup instead of the normal 2 pickups on these basses, Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyW Posted August 13, 2013 Author Share Posted August 13, 2013 Hi Flex, There's no real philosophy at all, just personal preference like a musicman or P-bass. I find all the sounds I need can be obtained from picking hand technique and occasionally a slight tweak to the Bass knob. This pickup position has been serving me very well for years now on my other custom basses. Also, I like having minimal knobs on basses and this should have been 3 knobs ideally (one stacked of course) as no blend is required. Cheers, Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyW Posted October 13, 2013 Author Share Posted October 13, 2013 Final price drop before doing a shop commission sale. Selling for £1600 for this week. That's a brand new bass played for around 2 hours at home for £600 off of the new price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
