Funkym0nks Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 (edited) hello all For sale is my Spector Euro 5 lx. I bought it new 2 years ago and it has been mainly used for rehearsals and only gigged a few times. The bass is in excellent condition, and there are very few marks. This bass has a great tone, and cuts through the mix very well without much effort. I'm looking for £700 including postage. i will post it in a gig bag inside the original box it came in. Trade wise i would maybe be interested in some sort of fretless, preferably a 4 string. will accept cheque (subject to clearing) or paypal. cheers alan Made in the Czech Republic by master craftsmen, this neck-thru electric bass offers you all the premium playing quality and stunning looks for which Spector basses are renowned. The Euro 5 LX bass features the fully carved and curved original NS body shape. The body is of solid alder and the wings have 3 layers: figured maple on top, a slice of walnut, and an alder back for a stronger fundamental. Graphite-reinforced 3-piece rock maple neck has a 24-fret rosewood fretboard decorated with crown mother-of-pearl inlays. American-made EMG active pickups and deluxe Spector 9-volt TonePump EQ circuit deliver the ultimate in output and tonal range. Solid brass Spector locking bridge. Gold-plated hardware.

warwickhunt Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 I had one of these for a while (in black cherry) and it was a great bass, I just couldn't adjust to a 5er. I had the chance to compare it to a friends USA 5 and he was a bit crest fallen afterwards as there was no difference in playability and about a gnats chuff difference between them in tone, however about £2000 in value.

machinehead Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 I have an older one with the maple body, also a 5-er. These are superb instruments and that green colour is lovely. The quality is as near perfect as I've ever seen. I highly recommend this. Good luck with the sale. Frank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funkym0nks Posted July 2, 2007 Author Share Posted July 2, 2007 Thanks guys. The quality of this bass is outstanding, and the green colour is what made it catch my eye. Im not in a rush to sell, but i could do with the money. alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JD1 Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 I had a NSCR5 the same colour - as far as I can tell no different to this one unless the circuit is different. Really nice bass. Only changed it as I had a hankering to return to Fender and got a MM5. Love the Fender, but I miss the Spector though. I would have been interested in a trade as I have a 4 string US Fender Jazz fretless which is immaculate and is mainly used as a back up, but my Pedulla 5 fretless was recently damaged and so I need the Jazz for the moment.

tuss Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 Lovely bass. Got myself a Spector Euro LX 4 a couple of months ago, and never play anything else now!! Would love to add your bass to my collection, but will need to get rid of my Warwick Corvette standard 5 and Warwick Dolphin pro II before I can justify another bass!! Good luck with the sale.

tuss Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 Pretty interested in this, so got to see about selling my Warwicks before I can afford it. I have listed them both on the forums so we'll see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chopthebass Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 I can't believe this isn't selling at that price. I had one of these about 8 years ago - fantastic build, plus they've got EMGs. It don't get better. Bump... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
