denis_d Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 (edited) Price drop: [s]£[/s][s]1100[/s] [s]£[/s]1000 [color=#333333][font=Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif][size=3]I would like to sell my Spector bass. I've had it since new, bought it in 2007. The bass has had a number of mods. It was defretted, but recently refretted again. The present fretwork is better than the original. The pickups were swapped for passive Delano SBC humbuckers, and there is a 3-way switch for each pickup (series/parallel/single coil). The preamp is Noll TCM-3PM (with parametric mids) with active/passive push/pull switch. There is one more switch (the chrome one) that is kinda strange. This is an on/off switch. It had to be added to install the preamp. Noll has a special jack socket that doesn't fit in the control cavity, and with usual sockets the battery remains active even when the jack is unplugged, so this switch has to be there. With these electronics the bass is less aggressive and more flexible.[/size][/font][/color] [color=#333333][font=Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif][size=3]The bass was actively gigged, so it has normal playing wear, which is only cosmetic. No dings, cracks and stuff like that, though. The neck is one of the most stable necks I've seen (and I've used this bass in different odd tunings).[/size][/font][/color] [font=Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif][color=#333333][size=3]It has Bubinga top on Alder body, which is quite rare on Euro series. [/size][/color][/font] [color=#333333][font=Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif][size=3]Has Elixir Stainless Steel strings installed.[/size][/font][/color] [color=#333333][font=Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif][size=3]The bass is located in Riga, Latvia. I can deliver to Lithuania and Estonia if there are any buyers [/size][/font][/color] [color=#333333][font=Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif][size=3]Here is how it sounds in a metal mix (here it is fretless with original EMG pickups and Noll preamp): [url="http://sandtrout.bandcamp.com/"]http://sandtrout.bandcamp.com/[/url][/size][/font][/color] [font=Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif][color=#333333][size=3]Sound-wise, I totally like this instrument. The only reason I sell it is that I still cannot get used to the string spacing (though I've owned the bass for almost 10 years!). It has 17,5 mm on the bridge and a quite shallow neck, which makes it too narrow for me. But I know there are many people who like it [/size][/color][/font] [font=Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif][color=#333333][size=3]Not looking for trades, as I have too many basses already and I've just bought one more [/size][/color][/font] Edited September 21, 2016 by denis_d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

denis_d Posted September 21, 2016 Author Share Posted September 21, 2016 Here is a little morning jam on this bass Sorry for the quality. I don't have proper recording equipment, so it is recorded with an iPhone. Hopefully it gives at least some hint about the sound And also it is a proof that the bass is not broken and is working well [url="https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B6BMU9YCZ21RQU52UklCUGpkQ0U"]https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B6BMU9YCZ21RQU52UklCUGpkQ0U[/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
