TDM Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 (edited) [quote name='niceguyhomer' post='253442' date='Aug 2 2008, 06:44 PM']Where where where??????[/quote] My local Reverb (aka Sound Control) has a Euro 5 and three Euro 4s, all for £499 each. Apparently a lot of the stock got bought very cheaply during the takeover, so they can sell it for very cheap. Too bad there is no way I can justify spending that much money on a bass right now, even if a Spector Euro 5 string is one of my dream basses.

dub_junkie Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 I'm in Glasgow tomorrow morning. If they;ve got the spalted maple Euro LX5 they had,on the above special (or any other Euros for that matter) my resistance will most likely crumble and I'll be getting the plastic out. fantastic basses.

TDM Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 I've crumbled already, I'm going in first thing tomorrow morning to see if they are still there. If the 5 is gone, I'll probably get the 4, sell it or trade it and get a 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niceguyhomer Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Like a complete arse - I drove to Sheffield this morning...only 90 miles and ..."they're bound to be open"....ahem, got their at eleven after making several calls en route to see if they were open and...they were closed. Silly me. So I rang the branch in Brum to ask if all branches were open on Sundays and he said no so I told him my plight and he said ..."oh yeh, we've got 3 Euro 5LXs - any colour you like so long as it's black cherry". Guess which colour I ordered? Nearly got back late for this afternnon's gig -M62 closed at Manchester - horrific accident. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'm gonna go in first thing tomorrow morning, since I'm pretty close to it. Are those black cherry ones all in that one store? The one in Sheffield was/is amberburst.

I can't believe it, I've had a 'wanted' post on here for an LX5 for a while now and would have paid up to £800 for one too. I just hope it arrives in one piece.

niceguyhomer Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Being the eternal pessimist I'm expecting a catch somewhere but what the hell. I gigged with my Rebop 5 DLX yesterday - I'm so glad I've rediscovered Spector, sublime instruments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDM Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 (edited) I just picked up my amberburst LX5 this morning. Even waited outside from 9:30 to be the first one in the shop, incase somebody else bought it.Now, What if I managed to sell this for a profit and buy another one Edited August 4, 2008 by thedonutman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think considering how I spent the last 48 hours being paranoid about it being sold to someone else, I should be pretty pleased Edited August 4, 2008 by thedonutman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The red one might have been sold though, I saw a guy trying that Rebop when I was leaving with my bass.

Mike Brooks Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 I'm aware of these deals Gary, strange how the NS4 at Brum was £2700, I went there when they were doing the final SC deals when it was £1200, no, won't sell it to you for less than £2k, okay, call me if the price goes down, now its £1k and I haven't had a call, you would think shops would want to sell you gear!!! PM'd you with my number. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
