warwickhunt Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 I'm not knocking Spector or that bass but the owner must have been off his t*ts when he decided to have that done! Each to his own I know but for what he must have paid to have it chromed and LED'd, the cost of the work on what is essentially a mid-level bass will never get recouped.

However, the CT Streamer will retain a reasonable amount of its value whereas a Spector Legend with LEDs and an after-market paint job is still just a Spector Legend. Do you see where I'm coming from and I'm not trying to compare Warwick with Spector just the reality check that 'sometimes' what you do to a bass after you buy it can have little impact on its later value.

Personally I'd have probbably had it done if its what I wanted, I imagine the guy just wanted a streamer CT alike and prob didnt think he'd be selling it on at a later date. I quite like what he's done though, you too can look like sam rivers on a budget Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
