jay-syncro Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 (edited) Next on the block is my USA Spector Shorty. This bass is my first dabble into the world of short scale, and what an introduction it is. The build quality is on another level to most and combined with the top drawer woods, electronics and hardware, it really does make for an outstanding instrument. I bought this after suffering a shoulder injury and found it's compact dimensions and ultra light weight (7.5lb) allowed me to continue gigging with ease. It's in excellent condition and comes with a proper Spector flight case. Note: The hardware appears scratched/damaged in the photos, it's just reflections from the room. It's minty fresh. Here's the spec: Spec: [*]No #25 [*]30 3/8 " scale [*]5A quilt maple top [*]Lightweight mahogany body [*]Aguilar JJ pickups [*]Aguilar OBP3 preamp [*]Pau Ferro Fingerboard [*]Graphite reinforced 3 piece maple neck [*]Deep pocket neck insert [*]Hipshot style A bridge [*]Gotoh tuners [*]Dunlop straplocks Collection from Margate, or I can post if required.

three Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 (edited) My go to bass for pretty much everything - superb build, great core tone and stellar playability. The OBP3 works superbly well in these. A very good price IMO Edited March 14, 2020 by three 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigsmokebass Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 (edited) Nice bass, great price. Shame it's a shorty or I'd smash this. Lots of demand for shorties atm, so I don't think it will last long 😁🤞🏻 Edited March 27, 2020 by bigsmokebass 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarky Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Indeed. Wonderful bass for which the original was designed for Garry Tallent of Bruce Springsteen's band - who is no slouch as a bassist! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveNorman Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 (edited) I can only say what a lovely bass this is and what a bargain to boot; im not adverse to shorties and I have really been so temped by this for sure; (I am owner of US Spectors already) whoever buys this bass will not be disappointed; and it will certainly never drop in value; and its a JJ damn bet has tone for days! and signed by Stuart Spector which just don't happen any more; someone needs this bass,,,, best of luck another bump Edited April 8, 2020 by DaveNorman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
