discreet Posted December 12, 2014 Posted December 12, 2014 Hey, a Spector Porn Thread! Some pics of my latest acquisition - just for the record. Pre-XL 2002 Czech-built Euro4 with solid maple wings and Tonepump circuit. I thank you! Quote
howdenspur Posted December 12, 2014 Posted December 12, 2014 Lovely. It just looks so tactile. I don't think I'd know whether I would play it or eat it! I'm getting gaseous rumblings now... Quote

P-ZARN Posted December 22, 2014 Posted December 22, 2014 Hey cd david and discreet. Thanks for your kind comments and thanks 'discreet' for re-sizing the image. My lack of photography skills really don't do these basses any justice. In the flesh they all look so much better. I've had the Euro5 for a while. I'm not really a 5 string player but when I originally saw it for sale I couldn't resist. I subsequently bought the NS5XL with the intention of moving on the Euro5 but then found I couldn't bring myself to sell it. Quote

P-ZARN Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 Hi Kiwi Yes I did. I got it from SammyDamacy about 2 or 3 years ago. It's a wonderful bass Neil Quote
spectoremg Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 My trusty NS-94 and a styleised (it's trans blue) pic of my first bass - NS-2000/4 bought new from the Bass Centre in '99. Mid-range Spectors have great build quality and are therefore good platforms for electronics upgrades. Both of these go for less than £200 these days. Also not so long ago I remember the Czech LX series going for £600-700 in the now defunct Sound Control - how did they get so expensive? Quote
The Badderer Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 oooooh nice! love the effort to lug it into the middle of that courtyard! Quote
