NSD (New Spectorbird Day) x 4!


cetera

Recommended Posts

As a longtime Spector endorsee and collector I have always wanted to see a mid-price Euro version of their custom USA-X (Spectorbird) model....

So, using my contacts and linking up with UK retailer Bass Direct we organised a special limited custom run (less than 25) of just that!

 

After a 9 month wait they have just arrived. Black, white, tobaccoburst flame and an amazing ultraviolet quilt! Equipped with EMG pickups, Tonepump preamp & gold hardware, they have turned out amazingly well....  I'm so pleased 🥰😎

 

Thanks to Bass Direct for their assistance and here's to our next custom build!

Oooh!

 

Pictures in a moment or two.  First impressions, lovely chunky neck.  Finish is lovely.  Everything works, although I've swapped out the strap buttons to Dunlop Straploks.  Set up is wonderful; very low action straight out of the box.  Happy to say it fits the Tourtech ABS cases I have, so I'll pull the trigger on another one of these on payday.

 

Output is superhot; on Gary's guidance I've reduced the Tonepump output to 35-40%.  I'm just trying to limit what I'm taking to rehearsals/gigs, so am determined to get a decent tone out of the AO900.

 

Belter!

Good to know, here's goes my GAS. Thought they would have the thin neck specs (Ian Hill)

 

It's actually somewhere between Ian Hill and a normal Euro LX.

Massive thanks to @cetera for banging the drum, setting this up and pushing through the production of these basses.

 

 

 

 

 

 

It’s great that we have someone on BC that has this kind of influence, well done again,  @cetera.

 

I love the reverse bird design to look at (even Firebirds!) but the ergonomics don’t work for me sadly :( . Just as well, that red cherry one is 😍.
