Apart from flipping saddles, could a new bridge and/or nut be optimal from looking at my pics? For some reason I get the feeling something just ain't right. Hoping it's just something as easy as flipping saddles and messing with intonation with new strings, but another opinion would be nice. Are...

Jeeze, thanks again PhatBasstard! I gauged it was a 2004-2008 model judging on the specs when i first encountered the bass. Would you recommend a preamp switch, I have read a a lot about the "Tonedump" concept. Also, you would definitely think that the A and E could use a saddle roatatin'? I'm...

Hey, thanks PhatBasstard! I was definitely in favour of flipping the A as well, not sure if I was crazy or not :P hearing someone else tell me to flip the A saddle definitely confirms that.

I think I may have the Euro model just before the trimpot was issued standard. Here are some pics of the mess of wires that is my cavity. Also, is this velcro supposed to be screwed to the inside of the body? I noticed that when I was in there the fist time around and didn't like the idea in...

Thanks again worshiprocker, really appreciate the tips! Hopefully I'll be good to go with these new strings with a bit of B string filing. Thanks for the angling tip on the saddles too, I'll definitely hit that up when I do the action/intonation with the new strings. It's funny, when I first got...

Sorry for my ignorance, but would a picture of the string height at first fret or somewhere along the neck also help for an opinion? I guess in the end all it really adds up to is "does it play well". It's odd though, this is the first bass I've played where a minute barring of any finger can be...

Alright here are some pics, couple pics of the bass and the setup and also showing the nut filing and bridge spacing. For bridge pictures, first picture is with strings all in the bridge files, second is with the E string popped out to space the way I like it. Sorry the pictures aren't best...

Thanks for the quick reply worshiprocker! I'll definitely be flipping a saddle or two next time I restring, and that should do me just great for spacing. I'm thinking I will order up the strings, file up the B and hopefully the rest will fit fine. If I have a .050 for my G string (tuned to E)...

Hello Spector Club, first post here. I recently picked up a Euro 5LX which has been handed down from a couple Talkbass members, and would like to join the club! This bass is my first Spector I've owned, and is definitely a keeper! This beast is the classic walnut sandwiched between maple and...
