kets Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 (edited) [attachment=34052:001.JPG]Up for sale is my Spector NS2000/5 string bass. It has the through neck, which gives excellent sustain and a dark blue translucent finish that shows off the grain of the wood underneath. It has the 34" scale, but the B string still sounds pretty damn good! and has the EMG HZ pickups and active treble/bass boost/cut. It's in excellent condition with no buckle rash, dents or scrapes, and will come in a (used) gator hardcase, included in the price. Sound wise, this bass is punchy with superb slap tones and very comfortable to play. Price is £300. I'm based near Edinburgh and can arrange local collection or postage, which would be about £20. Feel free to ask any questions. Please note, that this was previously listed as a Legend Custom, until an eagle eyed bass chatter pointed out that it's actually an NS2000/5!

kets Posted October 7, 2009 Author Share Posted October 7, 2009 No interest in this at all? Dropped the price to £300, plus P & P. Used this bass tonight at a jam session, through a Peavey head and Ashdown cabinet. Sounded awesome! Would maybe consider a trade for a Fender Jazz of some sort Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RussFM Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Are you sure that's a Legend? Looks more like an NS2000/5? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kets Posted October 14, 2009 Author Share Posted October 14, 2009 Is it better if it's a NS2000/5? I bought it secondhand from GuitarGuitar, Edinburgh about a year and a half ago, where I'm sure they said it was a legend custom. Looking on the intranet, shows that it's not quite the same spec as the newest legend custon, however I'd just assumed it was a slightly older model, so I'm not sure now. Either way, it's belter of a bass for the money! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussFM Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 I don't know if it's better, it's a very similar spec to the Legend Custom, but just a different shape I think. As far as I know the NS2000 (or Q4/Q5/Q6 for the bolt-on version) was the predecessor to the Legend. Definitely a great bass!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to have an NS2000/4 and it was a pleasure to play! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kets Posted October 15, 2009 Author Share Posted October 15, 2009 Thanks for the info guys, much appreciated. I've had a look at the NS 2000/5 online and found one identical to this, right down to the gold coloured nut, so it would appear to be an NS 2000/5. I'll update the post accordingly. Lots of reviews on Harmony Central for this bass, all positive! Owen, I'm in no real hurry to get sell this, so it might still be there when you sell your own bass. The only reason it's for sale is because I bought a Yamaha TRB1005 fretless from a local basschatter, and I can't really justify two 5 strings at the moment.

NancyJohnson Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 (edited) I really like the headstocks on these models over the thinner designed ones that come on the LX and US NS five strings. They're more in keeping with the overall Spector vibe. Have a bump on me. P Edited October 16, 2009 by NancyJohnson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
