Oh interesting- but I guess if they have already reduced it maybe they are properly not going to budge.

 

I'm absolutely terrible at haggling I wouldn't know what to say to him.

 

Yes from northern ireland too

Harder to say no to an offer in person I find. If you're going to try it out maybe mention you know it's been advertised for a while. It's a buyers market so offer what you're willing to and be prepared to walk away. It's still a bit rich at that price, limited edition or not. It'd be that price used from Bass Direct or BassBros.

This is off my '03 Euro 4 this morning...

 

 

 

 

There's a new bridge incoming.

 

538g-195g = 343g.

 

That'll take Amber down below 4kg.

Apologies if this is cheeky for this Spector fans thread, but I thought I'd draw your attention to an item wanted post. I'm in the market for a US NS5, if anyone in here is considering moving one on at all.

I didn't take a pic but Amber's new bridge (not pictured below) weighed in at 188g. I've amended the calculations to reflect that. It's all installed now and she still rocks. No A/B comparison as I changed the strings, polished the frets with the FRTLZR up to 7000 grade (lovely job, if do I say so myself), detuned and set up to Eb Standard with EXL170 Balanced Tension 45, 60, 80, 107 strings to a nice low but not-too-low action. She's pure gig rig now and really sweet.

I'll just leave this (Ebony and Maple pair) here for now...

 

...pending tweaks, Preamp transplants, stuff...

One is going to be a case queen, the other is going to join Amber as part of the gig rig.

 

All my Spectors except this blue/maple have a name. I'm looking for a name to join Quint, Amber, Peacock and Zebra.

Is it bahama blue? It's got desert island vibes! Maybe call it Wilson? 😉
