AndyW Posted July 31, 2013 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.

chuck_stones Posted August 5, 2013 Posted August 5, 2013 Sweet mother of god.....that finish is sublime. Sorry I can't help you out, I'd love to get my hands on that beast.
AndyW Posted August 11, 2013 Author Posted August 11, 2013 No problem, am sure this Bass will make someone very happy!
Flex Posted August 13, 2013 Posted August 13, 2013 What is the philosophy of just a single pickup instead of the normal 2 pickups on these basses, Cheers
AndyW Posted August 13, 2013 Author 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
Jellyfish Posted August 13, 2013 Posted August 13, 2013 The only Amber Spector I've seen that I like. Lovely. Good luck with the sale.
AndyW Posted August 27, 2013 Author Posted August 27, 2013 (edited) Price drop to [b]£1700[/b]. That's £500 off of a brand new Bass. A rare chance to get a USA Spector for a Euro price! Edited August 27, 2013 by AndyW

AndyW Posted October 13, 2013 Author 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.
AndyW Posted February 10, 2014 Author Posted February 10, 2014 This beauty is still for sale at Bass Direct on commission for the rediculously low price of £1500 Am making a massive loss on this awesome Spector but need to raise funds for my new custom Adamovic
AndyW Posted February 18, 2014 Author Posted February 18, 2014 Bump for this epic bargain USA made Spector
