Golchen Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 Too bad it's not fretted! (I wonder how much that would cost to have done??)
Boneless Posted January 12, 2009 Author Posted January 12, 2009 I know, people usually look at Spectors for a fretted, not a fretless But it is really worth a look, it's a very nice instrument, a very peculiar fretless, different, of course, from the "standard" fretlesses, not very conventional... but I think its peculiarity is it's strength as well.
Golchen Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 If money and space were no object I'd definitely have it! Looks wonderful. As it happens, I [i]do[/i] have the money, but I wouldn't part with so much over a fretless as I'm crap at playing them, and also I have a cheapo which is good enough for my current level of interest. On the other hand I [i]don't[/i] have enough space for another bass.
Kiwi Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 blimey, if I had a spector 5 already, I'd have your arm off.
Boneless Posted January 13, 2009 Author Posted January 13, 2009 Oh, by the way, the current owner/seller is more than willing to record some samples - and, obviously, video samples as well, if the Youtube "squeezing issue" (also known as mono output) is not too much bother - but he may not be able to do so until Saturday.
Golchen Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 That would be interesting, to have video/sound samples. Do you know how much postage to the UK would be? Don't get too excited though - I'm still telling myself that I don't want to pay that much for a fretless!
Boneless Posted January 14, 2009 Author Posted January 14, 2009 (edited) With "normal" post service (the equivalent of your Royal Mail) shipping's going to be around £50-55 with insurance. But with private couriers, it may be less expensive (or more, it depends really). EDIT: The owner/seller asked me to paste this: "actually it depends. around 50 pounds if you want a very quick delivery (the final price is determined by the exact weight of the package, which i believe could settle somewhere around 10-12 kg). this kind of shipment is trackable, and should be absolutely bother-free. should take around two working days to get there. as far as i'm concerned, i've always been a happy camper even with different kinds of shipment. in particular, there's plenty of opportunities to save money, if you are willing to wait longer."

Boneless Posted January 23, 2009 Author Posted January 23, 2009 OK, a deal fell through, so it's up for sale again. BUMP!
Boneless Posted January 23, 2009 Author Posted January 23, 2009 Price reduction, now £50 less. £600 + s&h
Boneless Posted January 25, 2009 Author Posted January 25, 2009 The owner/seller of the bass has changed his mind, he's keeping it. Just a piece of advice for owners of an EMG equipped bass: always use new, fresh batteries! Otherwise, it will sound like crap!
jkedinburgh Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 Hi There Appreciate that you have indicated the Spector bass is withdrawn however, please would you considert the following, I am very interested in this fretless bass, as I am looking for a five string 'would you friend be interested in a swop, I have a Fender Jazz bass Mex, white , ebony fretboard, set up by a class luthier in scotland, plays like a classic Jazz bass, thin neck and elixir strings coupled with, fitted Lindy Fralin pickups and a John East designed active preamp to to the Fender, incredible tones, plays wonderfully,of course there would be a cash element to make any deal which would have to be discussed work , let me know if that could be of interest?
