I've contacted Barnes & and Mullins (UK dist) on advice from the Spector website. [/quote] I bet it's a cracker in real life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudpup Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 The wood pattern can really vary on the Euros. Ive seen almost plain ones, highly flamed, deep quilted (like mine) and some really mismatched ones. Think its pot luck on what they have kicking about and you need to see it in the flesh really.

spectoremg Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 (edited) Cheers Billy, I bet the quilted stain looks awesome. I've always liked black hardware on them too - thought gold looked fussy. And I've got A&E inducing GAS too! And cheers Mudpup, I'm happy to mail order but I'd want to see actual pics first.

spectoremg Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 And why not, we pay enough for them! Remind me which model that is? I've also always preferred the thumb-parking soapbars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spectoremg Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Here's a curio, My first Spector was an NS2000/4 (bought in '99). I've since owned and sold another. I've never seen that model with anything other than dot markers 'til I came across this pic on talkbass (the one on the left). I suspect they've been retro-fitted (like the naff gold tuners). Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought some a wile back, but couldn't bring myself to apply them. I sold my Legends and bought a Euro instead, which luckily has proper MOP crown inlays... I quite like the gold tuners... or would do if they were matched with a gold bridge... Edited February 15, 2015 by discreet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spectoremg Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 The finish is f&%king awesome! While I have your attention... I'm looking for a string change (and yes I'm aware there's a recent string thread been started up). For no particular reason I've used Elites Stadium 105 guage for years. I play finger style mostly off the front pickup with middling treble and the bass on 11! Seriously I only have the bass on nine and a half. Oh and something with black binding would be nice.

I was indeed, and still am, very impressed with that Euro but yes, I have the opportunity to acquire something very special to me.
