edstraker123 Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 (edited) Mint condition other than a small crack in the lacquer near the neck pocket. Now includes Hard Case This semi-hollow, acoustically chambered bass is based on the legendary NS-2000 shape, and also features a Piezo Bridge (Fishman ) with active tone control. A single EMG® HZ dual humbucking passive pickup combines with the specially selected maple tonewood to give you a bass with a sound unlike any other. Spector have been making bass guitars for famous artists since 1977. Since then Stuart Spector's select team of designers has grown in stature, often in close collaboration with many world-famous performers. Gene Simmons (KISS) commissioned several Brooklyn Era SB-1 basses from Stuart in the late 1970's. Some of the modifications included a special gloss black paint job with white binding along the sides of the body. Stuart shaved down the normally bulbous horns of the SB-1 into points. In 1982 Sting favoured Spector's NS-2, and relyed upon it while out on the Police's Synchronicity Tour. The NS-2 was also the weapon of choice for Jack Bruce (Cream), who favoured the instrument during his 80s solo career. The Spector range has since become extensive and varied. In response to fans constant demand for 'a bass like theirs', Spector collaborated closely with several leading artists to create the Spector Signature range. These basses have a distinct engineering and performance pedigree - the roster includes such legends as Jason Newsted, formerly of Metallica, Ian Hill (Judas Priest), who has been playing Spector Bass guitars since 1985, and Rex Brown. From his earliest days with Pantera and later with Down, Rex has been a loyal Spector Bass player and supporter.

Kenny Gair Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Ed, looks like you have pulled the spec from the manufacturer's website. It details it as fretless.... I assume this isn't?
