bakerster135 Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 (edited) For sale is a Spector Euro 4 in natural flame maple finish. It has solid maple wings, gold hardware and has the original factory installed Aguilar OBP-1 preamp and active EMGs. I believe this is from 2001, and it's before Spector changed the body wood and the name to LX Condition-wise, the bass certainly has signs of wear, I've been playing it pretty solidly for 15 years! The gold bridge is worn, but this is only really visible close up. There are a few [b]very minor[/b] dings on the bass, and there is some real wear above the neck pickup (this is where I've been anchoring my thumb for 15 years!). I recently gave it a very good clean with Warwick surface finisher wax however, and it looks great! Will include the surface finisher with the bass. It also needs attention in the following areas:[list] [*]The bridge pickup control knob has the wrong size pot installed (long, rather than short split-shaft), so the control knob won't fit on! This will need to be replaced, it currently functions fine however!... [*]The Bass control (bottom control) is starting to feel like it may be on its way out, so will need replacing too [*]The bass could do with a set-up [/list] I have taken all of this into consideration, hence the bargain price. It will cost VERY little to get these elements fixed! Looks and sounds amazing though - some say these are comparable to the US model because of the maple and Aguilar preamp.

bakerster135 Posted March 28, 2014 Author Posted March 28, 2014 Thanks shemeckfrac! Also had a US Kramer-era NS-2 (which I recently traded for a Sandberg), and I always loved this one a little bit more. It just has that classic transparent grind that the good US NS basses have! It happens to be a total bargain too ...

bakerster135 Posted July 23, 2014 Author Posted July 23, 2014 Oh dear, I've pulled it! ... Good call Warwickhunt, thanks for that
warwickhunt Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 I sold a Warwick Streamer on ebay a while back with a very low start price and hadn't accounted for the fact that ebay fees had gone up to 10% + the buyer paid via paypal... it really REALLY hurt and I learned a valuable lesson.
jassbass Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 I agree,nightmare selling on ebay and paypal take off you aswell
