(i have only a performer and i do appreciate it for what it is, after all it is still a Spector!  ) it was a buckeye euro 5lx. my hands are usually very cold as a side effect to treatments/ meds. i got home(a 3 hr drive) and walked into the house and my girlfriend grabbed my hand and couldnt believe how warm my hands were. being me i went to make sure i wasnt running a high fever. i was a cool 98.3... im convinced it was the 4 spectors i held and played somehow helped the circulation in my hands... they are still warm today. anyway, thanks again.  and sorry for the ramble... | Right on, man. Stay positive and kick its miserable C ass.
I've been to that Chicago Music Exchange and Bass Club Chicago and they both have some great basses. Which one were you at? If it's Bass Club, I think I've played the buckeye you are talking about --- its a nice one!!! They had it on a rack as I walked in the door. First bass I saw - for real! Nice way to greet the new customers.

I can't honestly discern a huge difference in sound between the maple & rosewood, but the feel is different. I prefer the feel of rosewood, but the look of maple.

Do I hang it on the wall or play the piss out of it.

More looking for fretless vs fretted comparisons as the only fretless I've played was my Stingray 5 lined fretless but the tone wasnt for me. That was also the first stingray 5 I've played so I don't know if the problem was the stingray itself (not a Spector) or the neck/preamp in the bass. It had a pau ferro board if that makes a difference. |

Let me know what you think! | I've said this a lot recently. The finishing work lately is at the top of the food chain. Stunning! This is the kind of bass that you stare at for a while, before you pick it up to play. Congratulations on ,another, very special instrument. |
