Spector Euro 4X in Ultra Violet - Mint/Unused £2499 Wickford, Essex

[hiram.k.hackenbacker]

I was one of a few on Basschat that pre-ordered this limited edition model after @cetera (a Spector endorsee) instigated it's production in early 2022.

The original options for finish were black gloss, white gloss and tobacco burst.

Gary kindly looked into getting some made in my preferred finish of Ultra Violet and Spector agreed.

Here is the Basschat thread regarding the Euro X.

I believe there are also some photos in the Spector thread.

There are only a few of these in existence in this finish (and I mean low single figures) and they sold out immediately.

 

I ordered it so that I could have a something for a hair/metal type band that never came to fruition, so it has not been used.

I now have some other projects on the go which means this is unlikely to see the light of day.

This bass has not been rehearsed or gigged. It is as new as the day I received it.

It comes with a Spector branded gig bag and it's adjustment tools in a white envelope (still sealed).

I also have the Spector box it was delivered to me in.

 

The finish on the bass is stunning and really awkward to capture due to it's mirror like properties. I've done my best.

Specification:

• Body: Maple - Refined X shape
• Top: Genuine Figured Maple 
• Neck: Maple 
• Nut: 1.64” 
• Fingerboard: Rosewood 
• Headstock: Black
• Inlays: MOP Spector Crown
• Frets: 24
• Scale Length: 34”
• Radius: 16”
• Hardware Colour: Gold 
• Bridge: Spector Locking Die-Cast
• Active Tone Controls: Spector TonePump (which is adjustable via a trim pot)
• Controls: Bridge Volume, Volume, Treble Boost, Bass Boost
• Pickups: EMG P.J
• Easy access battery compartment
• Weight: 9lb

 

Collection would be preferred or meet at a mutually agreed halfway point if possible. I don't want to send it via any of the horror story couriers.

Gutted you're having to let this go mate....

The Euro factory surpassed itself in the quality of woods used on this one. Who knew our Ultraviolet basses would turn out so beautiful?!!

 

Good luck with the sale.... and to any potential buyers- this as a custom run, in single figures and it is doubtful whether they will do this again. Grab yourself a beautiful bass while you can...

[Chiliwailer]

Such a shame you didn’t get to gig that one, no doubts you’d have been looking forward to showing off such a stunner of a unique bass. Love it 😍

Bump.

What a finish! I like to imagine that if the hair metal band had come off, you would have dyed your hair to match.

I haven’t got any. I’d have wigged up though 😂🤘

[hiram.k.hackenbacker]

I should have mentioned that I'm not really looking for trades.

I am open to realistic offers though.

[hiram.k.hackenbacker]

Withdrawn. Off to storage it goes then, along with just about every other active bass I own.

[hiram.k.hackenbacker]

Back up for sale and in exactly the same condition as it was when I first listed it.

Unused and unlikely to be (by me) due to the original project I bought it for falling through.

As lovely as this bass is, given that my diary for this year is already quite busy with four other bands, I really don't see much point in hanging on to it.

[hiram.k.hackenbacker]

Bump. Offers considered.

I'm honestly amazed that this is still here.  These are wonderful, wonderful instruments.  

 

Wake up kids!

Yes, me too mate. I get it out of its case occasionally just to look at it.

I've played a few USA Spectors and I can't say there's much difference between them and this model.

They just got it right with the Euro X.

I always wanted one of these when I was touring with a heavy metal band! would love to have it but the toddler would probably be a little miffed if he didn't have food to eat!

[hiram.k.hackenbacker]

Something has come up and I could do with moving this, so....bump.

These are so cool - I’m in no position to buy, but it’s definitely a beauty
