tonyf Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 (edited) Evening all! After much soul-searching, I'm "putting out the feelers" on my Spector Euro 5. Purchased a few months ago from Pablo (PauBass), it's a fabulously looking and sounding bass but I've really struggled to get back into the 5-String thingie after returning to 4-strings four or five years ago. Trust me, I've given it a go but I guess it my advancing years..... lol Details as follows: 34" scale 2 x EMG DC's with a Spector "tonepump" preamp Controls are vol/vol/bass/treble Flamed maple body Rosewood fingerboard with "crown" inlays Gold Hardware Couple of minor dings on the lower horn, hardly noticeable as they've been professionally repaired Hardcase (non-spector) included I'm looking for £650 (delivered to UK) or completely open on a trade on a 4-string of some sort. Got a Flea and a Musicman Sterling (apparently CrazyKiwi call's them a "womans Stingray" ;-) so maybe a Jazz or P-bass (or variation thereof) would be interesting. Open to suggestions! Cheers Tony [attachment=2591:Spector5LX2.jpg] [attachment=2592:Spector5LX4.jpg] [attachment=2593:Spector5LX6.jpg] Edited October 8, 2007 by tonyf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyf Posted October 3, 2007 Author Share Posted October 3, 2007 Steve, I know. Sorry, really letting the side down eh? Selling me V8, letting go of this amazingly beautiful looking bass and there's the "Woman's Stingray". As Al Murray would say...."I was NEVER confused".....! As a side note, just rang the missus to get the tape measure out. It is indeed a 35" scale rather than the 34" I thought it was. Funny, I generally tend to add an inch (or two) to make things sound more impressive than they actually are.... lol T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichBowman Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 Lovely bass - The middle picture is mine....:-) Is such a lovely bass, if I had the money around I'd have it back in a heartbeat. Good luck with the sale, and whoever buys it will end up with one hell of a bass, I promise. Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
