1999 - Spector 5 String NS5CRFM -New Photos Added £999

[bagsieblue]

1999  - Spector 5 String NS5CRFM.

 

No trades - £999 collected (Lancashire), can ship at cost. 

 

Spector NS5CRFM Bass (I believe).

Made in Czech Republic.

 

From the resources on the Spector website I believe this dates from 1999.

 

I can send more photographs or information as required.

 

34" scale but still a very, very good B string indeed.

The bass has Solid Maple body wings, solid brass bridge.   Schaller Tuners.

These older CRFM's are quite unique. They are built like the current USA Spector specifications are now with the solid wings. The new EURO models have 3 piece wings with a walnut tone plate.

 

Note there are many scuffs, scrapes, chips in the control cavity cover etc and lacquer cracks on the bass as shown in the photographs.  This is a 21 year old bass that has been played.  Please do not expect pristine condition.

However, this is nothing that affects play-ability.

Probably worth it (another Spector fanboi) but I suspect this is a typo

Oops, corrected thanks.

Are the body wings flamed maple? (Can't tell from the pics) 😁

The flame is hard to capture in photographs - I've tried to capture it again this morning with these being the best photos.

These are great basses.  I had two at one point and still have one.  Lovely focus in the midrange.

Oooh that's better!

I had a slightly later transition one,with full maple wings and the EMGDC but with the 35" scale and crown inlays. It had an East pre too!! Lovely basses, I'm quite tempted by this now 😁 

Shame you don't want trades.

Trades are unlikely for me but happy to have a chat on it.

Here's another photo - its one of those auto stylised ones but does give a good representation of the bass in good lighting.
