Hello all!

I am in the process of purchasing a lefty 2002 Euro5 in natural finish for $799. It's in overall excellent condition and was well cared for by what I believe was a single owner. Is this a good price, or around what's expected for a bass like that? I know the euro lx models that came directly after these will often go for $1400-1800 used and am wondering if these basses would normally demand a similar price.

I'd also be curious to hear people's opinions on them vs the euro lx. I've heard a lot of spector enthusiasts say they prefer the sound and construction of these to the euro lx models introduced directly after them (thicker instruments, bigger/better bridge, full maple wings, better preamps, closer overall to US spectors at that time).

I owned a euro lt recently which I had to let go and am curious how this new axe will compare to that.

Not sure if user Gravesbass still frequents these pages, he is our resident Spector geek. You could try sending him a PM, if he enabled notifications he'll receive an email to inform him of your message. Might be worth a shot - although I see his profile doesn't show his most recent visit!
