lee650 Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 (edited) Hi everybody I'm having big changes at the moment so I've decided to move on my 2001 Spector CR5 FM. It has a natural oil finish with a beautiful quilted maple, as it is an earlier Euro this one features the full quilted maple body wings (not the alder/walnut/maple sandwich they use now) and the brass bridge that are used on the USA models. This has been upgraded with the legendary East U retro deluxe preamp which adds a lovely bottom end and full control over the mids, coupled with the EMG DC 40 pickups and maple construction/ 35" scale it I a very versatile bass with a lot of options. I'm not sure of the weight other than its not a light bass:) Condition wise it has been gigged a lot and as such has a few dents and digs, I also has a bit of buckle rash at the back, other than that is fine for a 13 year old bass. I must mention that the passive tone control does not work fully with the EMG'S the system was designed for passive pickups and as such would need the pot changed to a 25k (I think) to work with actives. The tone does work when fully rolled off for a very reggae tone. I am wanting a firm £950 incl UK delivery an will ship in a Warwick gigbag, im not able to add any photos as yet as I seem to have lost them from the laptop, however this bass is featured in the Spector porn thread (page 2 number 51- my computer wont let me add the link for some reason, its the bass in my avatar). I would entertain part trades for a nice Japanese Fender P bass or a Fender Nate Mendel, with cash my way, or perhaps a cheaper 5 string. Ill get pics up as soon as - cheers Edited March 29, 2014 by lee650
lee650 Posted March 18, 2014 Author Posted March 18, 2014 I will also entertain part trades with a bergantino EX112ER/HD112/AE112. Will happily mail pics to any interested parties.
lee650 Posted March 22, 2014 Author Posted March 22, 2014 Seen something I want so I'll do this for £950 delivered
lee650 Posted March 22, 2014 Author Posted March 22, 2014 I know I know!!! I haven't got access to a PC as yet I'm doing all this on my phone . As previously stated pictures of this bass are available on Basschat in the Spector porn thread. I would humbly request you look there as the pics I'll put on will be the same ones. I'll try to take some with my phone but they will not do it justice.
