niceguyhomer Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Just rang the chap who dealt with me at Brum - a nice, helpful bloke called Rob. I was quizzing him about the US ones and they have just one left with a redwood top @ £799 but that's Divorce City Arizona so I must resist. Can't see this affecting resale values in the long term but I doubt I'd get the £450 I paid for the Rebop 5DLX FM two weeks ago back if I tried to sell it now (no chance). Que sera - you win a few and you lose a few. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracer Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Man, that's tempting. I've been looking to get something with a bit more growl than my Jazz and then this goes and happens : / Will these guys deliver? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedontcarebear Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 I got this from the Leicester branch, they don't seem to have reduced them as much!! [quote]At our store we’ve got a Spector Rox 4T hologram Black, which is a bit like a firebird in shape, with a cool greeny/blue hologram style finish over a black base coat, that was £699, and is now £549. We also have a Euro 4 LX in Poplar Burl which sounds and looks fantastic!! That one was £1499 and is now £1199[/quote] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Brooks Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 I'm glad I didn't buy the NS4 in Brum a month ago. It didn't compare that well with 2 other basses I had with me and at £1,000 it would have been overpriced to my ears but to ask close to £2,500.........just count myself lucky I've been able to score one of these LX's which sounded better than the NS4 I tried. Never fails to surprise me how every bass is different, even in the same product line/range. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Mann Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 I was still reading the Beano 18 years ago, not even thinking about basses! Anyhow...introducing.....Todd Cooke.....A huge Spector collector in the states, between him and PJ Rubal @ Spector, they pretty much have everything on the market! Both of their collections are viewable on Todd's site, it's well worth looking through to get an idea of pretty much everything ever made by the firm! [url="http://www.spectorworld.com/"]http://www.spectorworld.com/[/url] There's a really cool page on his web site that, if you have a minute, should all check out. The link below will take you to a load of mpegs, of the manufacture of the flagship USA models at the Woodstock factory, it may not be the Czech Republic made Euro models, which seems to be the focus of these postings, but it's a great inside look at Stuart and his team in NY.

Born 2B Mild Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Well, I've now joined the Spector Club. Amazingly, I've just realised it is the first brand new serious bass that I've bought in nearly 30 years! This spalted Maple top Euro 6 still had the ticket on it of £1099, but it was on the clearance list for £499! (Stockton on Tees) Here's a few hasty snaps...
