Ted Theodore Logan, III Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 (edited) Hello you charming peeps I finally won big on a scratchy and got the £20 to become a basschat marketplace member and all-round supporter of the “low end"... I've even got £10 left over to restock those cans o' beans that's been dwindling in the cupboard. All-in-all a great week!! I'm parting ways with a few of my children (by children I mean bass guitars, if I had children then I would be selling those first) Up for sale here is a near mint Spector Euro 4 LX Ian Hill Signature Custom Bass. Ian Hill is the hairy string thumper from Judas Priest... It's a 4 string with 24 frets, mother of pearl crown inlays and a rosewood fingerboard. 3 piece American maple through neck design with graphite rods for added strength 💪 Scale length is 34", width at nut 1.64" This is a luxury Spector with a slightly thinner and faster neck than the standard 4lx. Spector's Tone Pump active onboard circuitry is also present with +18db boost. Controls are; bridge volume, neck volume, treble, bass. Wood is USA Maple and European Alder. Gloss Black Finished. The Ian Hill Spector has lovely gold hardware (I don't think it's real gold...) A zinc brass alloy locking Spector bridge with string spacing at bridge of .75" You also got the premium EMG P neck pickup and EMG J bridge pickup. This little number weighs in at around 3.9kg. Fantastic all-round condition, slight tarnish on the brass bridge but certainly not offensive. Please enjoy the photos of my garden below... Oh, and the beautiful instrument as well... If you lovely folks have any questions (mainly regarding the Bass) then fire away... Selling for £1250 for y'all beautiful people, I can and will post but that'll cost you extra... Collection or meet part way for fuel cost also an option. Please PM with all offers, thank you!! Rules people, rules!!! Also comes with a heavy duty hard case to contain all it's Raw-Rock-Power!!

Ted Theodore Logan, III Posted November 28, 2019 Author Share Posted November 28, 2019 I was just shuffling through the many lovely instruments for sale here at Basschat and, oh look, what's this?!.. A Ian Hill Custom Spector Euro LX with EMG electronics and active tone pump circuitry?!! My, my... Surely the seller can't be asking a mere £1250 for that finely crafted instrument... Madness, I say.

I hear that Ian Hill sold his soul to Spector and they placed a little bit of it in each one of his custom series XL's to give it an endless supply of “ROCK!!!" (Don't quote me on that though...) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
