rhysyjob Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 At this point I would like to introduce myself as a fellow Spector nut, the more flame and the less gold the better. 😁 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHUFC BASS Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Spector Rebop on eBay at the moment, absolute bargain (I'm not connected to the seller by the way). If it was a 5 string I'd snap it up https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F153496975431 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassman666 Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Yesterday picked up an absolute bargain of a bass and my first spector 😎 this beauty rebop! Some fresh slinkies, a new battery and a quick clean, she sounds awesome! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked at that on Gumtree and thought about buying it but really can't justify another 4-String. If it was a 5 string, I'd have probably pulled the trigger.

Bassman666 Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 It was on Gumtree but from Emsworth not Brighton. Yeah was up for a good price, got it for £250 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassman666 Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Truss rod needed a little tweak but now plays great. The emg hz aren't fantastic pickups but the bass still sounds awesome. Very resonant when played acoustically which translates nicely when plugged in... Still not quite as nice as my lakland but a lovely bass none the less!

Aa I mentioned on another thread, if you swap the pre-amp out for an EMG BTQ pre then it'll transform the sound of the bass completely and improve it no end. The Tone Pump on the Rebop isn't the greatest of pre-amps and many people rip them out and replace them ASAP. Can't get over what a bargain that was. They usually go for at least £500 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the colour I am getting. Was going to get the tiger eye, but I have seen stunning examples and also pretty bland ones. Good to know the tone is good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassApprentice Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 So I've got a Tanglwood Bassmaster Funk (Spector copy) and it's my got to jamming bass and I love the look and feel of it - my question is do the Euros come in a Satin/Matt finish or are they all high gloss? From reading I feel a used Euro would be the place to go rather than the Legend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHUFC BASS Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 The Euros come in matt black and I think matt blue for some models. Not aware of any other models but happy to be corrected on that. I think they do custom colours too so if someone has ordered a matt finish bass and is selling it then that's the only way you'll get a matt finish.

As for the finish I’ve seen a clear matt in stained black or gloss finish in most other colours. The Matt finish seems more rare on the Euro though and was mostly used on the now discontinued Rebop bolt on neck basses. 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They come up occasionally in the used section here.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think mine dates from 2013. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
