Josh Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 (edited) As of late, this bass has been seeing less and less use as it's a back up to my Streamer, nonetheless this is a great bass and as such I think someone else will benefit from owning it. First things first, the only issue with this bass is it's aesthetic condition. I bought this recently from Jon Kemo in the condition it's in, and it was in the same condition when he bought it from it's original owner who has obviously thrown this bass around a fair bit. There are quite a few surface scratches and noticeable dings on both the front and back and the side of the bass, a minor scrape in the neck, but none of them at all affect the playability of this bass, IMO they give the bass character. The electronics and hardware are all still up to scratch and work perfectly. I've tried my best to highlight these dings and scratches, in the flesh they are noticeable but they are not severe enough to draw any attention to them: Despite all of that, I've really enjoyed having this bass around, it is stupidly light for a bass, and has been used on my bands recent recording(The Gutter Never Looked So good) which can be heard [url="http://www.myspace.com/allureingrace"]here!.[/url] Here are the specs directly from the Spector site: • Original Spector NS curved body style • Original Spector deep inset bolt-on neck pocket design • Neck: Bolt-On Graphite Rod Reinforced 3pc Maple • Fingerboard: 24 Fret, Rosewood, mother of pearl Spector inlays • Scale Length: 34" • Body: Alder, with FM top. • Black Hardware: Spector Aluminum Locking Bridge • Pickups: EMG 35HZ passive dual coil pickups • Active Tone Controls: Spector TonePump™ boost only active bass and treble.

RussFM Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 It pains me to see this sitting here unsold while I've got the cash in the bank. Someone buy it quick so I can stop having arguments at home!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zig-zag Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 I've have the exact same bass, and I can say it is fantastic. It really shouldn't be lying around not being sold for this long! If I had the money and that was a 5 string, I'd be all over it, like stink on s***, but alas, tis not. Have a bump off me though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
