NBD. Spector Coda

[Grahambythesea]

Arriving yesterday as a birthday present from my very generous bass playing brother, a black cherry Spector Coda from his overgrowing collection. He has a penchant from luthier built and out of the ordinary basses so he offered this to me instead of the more usual birthday gift of a CD or shirt. I have previously owned 2 Spectors and I’m always impressed how well they are built and how good they sound. This is no exception. It has the Spector Tone Pump Jr and EMG pickups, what’s not too like.

You have an awesome brother. And an awesome bass.

Recently fancied getting one of these myself.... have to keep my eyes open...

Congrats!

I had one for a while but IMO it wasn't as good as the other Spectors I had. 

Can't remember what I traded it for.

Cracker!

I picked a nice Coda Pro in a natural quilt finish last weekend.

My second Spector (the other being a Euro LX).

Yes, plays and sounds great.

Lovely quilted maple veneer on it too.

What's the string spacing at the bridge ?

[Grahambythesea]

String spacing 17mm.  My other 4 stringers are 18mm on my Peerless (J.C. clone) & 19mm on my Fender P. Not enough difference to throw me. The only one that ever threw me was a Hofner.
