lozbass Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Happy Birthday! And it's my partner's tomorrow - Spector! just what she's always wanted. I know where she'll shove it if I buy it. 4000 - you'll get me into trouble! I'll reply to your PM in a day or two - sorry for the delay - I'm (i) massively overworked, and (ii) spending far too much time looking at this Spector. I'll feel better when it's gone and I'm able to return to a normal pattern of behaviour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stockholm Syndrome Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 I wish I had the money for this...I've been wanting a 5-string again for a while now, and Spectors are at the top of the list. I can only offer me 91' Thumb NT as a trade bait right now... £2000 is a crazy good price for this bass. Again, good luck with the sale! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok i tried the bass i was mad about before, and its not as good, no where near as good as this, BUT i am open to trades, and £1000. at least. I am looking for a warick $$ in like new condition, or anything hand made perhaps overwater (not mad about the dark wood finish) the new vigers, or a Status headless a delux 5 string jazz (usa) , a top lakeland or sandberg again as new (like mine) I have decided not to bay it, and i have to see the bass in the flesh, as you mine.

warwickhunt Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Does the bass come with the original Spector case rather than the (all be it very solid) Warwick Rockcase? Is the letter of authenticity from SS actually a certificate stating that bass #220 is the Ltd Ed water cured redwood bass? I only ask as the one on eBay is #224 (3 basses later than yours) and yet was made 3 months later. If the basses aren't numbered as per a particular Ltd run and run consecutively does that mean he only produced 3 basses in 3 months or is that number just for 5 string basses? Curious as to how he numbers his basses... time to go and Google. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greyparrot Posted February 16, 2009 Author Share Posted February 16, 2009 From Harmony central. Stuart Spector Designs Ltd is offering a very special limited edition of handmade Spector basses. These basses are handcrafted in the Spector workshop near Woodstock NY and will be limited to an edition of 24 pcs. The body wings on these neck thru body basses are carved from rare water cured redwood burl. This wood is derived from the stumps of redwood trees that were cut down 100 years ago in northern California. These stumps were completely submerged in rivers for the last century and have recently been salvaged and obtained by Spector. The flow of the river water for such an extended period deposited minerals that have hardened the wood and deepened the color to a rich chocolate brown. In addition to this all the sugars have been washed out of the wood enabling drying to be done in the same fashion as the traditional preparation of violin woods. Each instrument will be accompanied by a special certificate signed by Stuart Spector which explains the special nature of the bass and lists it's place in the limited edition. The bass requires our clear high gloss finish (900.00 list), and will deliver 4-6 months from month of order.
