Guest BassKS Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 (edited) A mate of mine asked me if I could put this up for sale for him as he's not in this country. I will however be going to see my folks in May so if anyone can wait till then and is ready to take on this beast from the east, please do. Having said that, the model is US made not the Czech stuff. EDIT: Guys Im really sorry but the price has been changed to 2000eur shipped which is still less than half price. The guy has been eyeing up a 68 Jazz in FYRO Macedonia and would like to buy that. As I said Im acting as a mediator and if moderators think this is cheeky in any way, please let me know and Ill EBAY it. I wanted to let the whole forum know before the word gets out that im dealing behind the hedges (thats where the term hedge fund comes from). when you compare it the standard price from Spector website which is 5,600 USD, its a steal. This is the blurb from the owner, and hes put in a Gary Willis ramp to get a bit more out of it. Spector NS-5XL Buckeye Burl Top 3+2 Ebony Laminate Headstock 3 Piece Maple Neck (Neck-Thru) 24 Fret, 35" Scale Pau Ferro Fingerboard Abalone Crown Fingerboard Inlays Side Dot Inlays Walnut Body EMG Active Pickups Spector Tone Pump Circuit (active treble, bass) 18v Gold Hardware Edited April 4, 2009 by BassKS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golchen Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 Hmmn ................. at the old rates I'd have torn your arm off for that bass, but we're on a hiding to nothing buying anything in Euros right now. back when the Euro was worth about 64p that would have cost less than £1100! Still a great deal of course, but more than I have spare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littleal Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 Thats lovely bass for a reasonable price, if it had 1 more string i would have it .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BassKS Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 Tis a beaut. The thing is this guy has most of the good basses in Balkans no joke. Hes very well off and is a session bassist which means he may get a bass for one recording/touring and realise that the next thing might require a different bass. One thing that never leaves his rig is his own spec' Sadowsky 5er. Im relocating and trying to shift my warwick otherwise Id take it. 35" scale on B string would be immense.

molan Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 It's your to price however you see fit, all I'd say is that if it hadn't sold at a lower price then it's unlikely to shift at a more expensive one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BassKS Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Yeah, thats true but its only been here for two days. Basses reside here for weeks if not onths before somebody sees their dream come true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basses reside here for weeks if not onths before somebody sees their dream come true[/quote] Good point Only other thing I'd say is that some of the comments people have made about the price & relative value don't refer to the current advertised one, obviously not a big deal but could be slightly misleading. Sorry - spot the person who works with the advertising standards authority all the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golchen Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Hah! someone should have snapped it up at the original price! To be honest, you'd be better off starting a new thread and getting a clean break from the old price. I don't think that it'll sell here though, really expensive kit doesn't seem to shift at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Am I correct in understanding that he's increased the price because he wants a quick sale? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BassKS Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 (edited) No not really. He reckons that the loss that he's making should be no more than half price. There have been quite I few people interested, in fact one of them asked me for paypal address to send the money (not happy since it takes 4%) but i had to increase the price as instructed. Recession hit this country but the rest of Europe has a fair bit of cash willing to spend. I havent, Id have this bass and sell my streamer stage I.

Guest BassKS Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 Bump with considering offers between 1700 and 2000 eur. the person who made the cash offer has disappeared into thin air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
