    Dark fret markers

    Any advise on how to make the side fret markers on a Fender American Ultra more visible in low light? Rosewood fretboard.

    I finally had a chance to play my Euro 4 LX with my band last night. Incredible tone that cut through the mix. I’m incredibly happy with this bass. I may have to put my P bass back in it’s case for a little while longer…

    My Eurobolt currently plays better without any fret buzz than my new LX. All I did to both was adjust the action. They were higher than I like, but much better than my Fender when I got it.

    My new Euro LX was delivered yesterday. I’ve been reading about adjusting the Tone Pump and was wondering how much of a difference I can expect if I tweak it. It’s not overly loud, but clips my amp if I add too much bass from the instrument EQ. I’m not used to active instruments, so this will be...

    Spector bass and strap locks

    Is there a good no drill option for my Eurobolt? If I have no good options, do the Schaller S lock screws fit the body without drilling? Thanks in advance.

    I recently received my Eurobolt 4 with Aguilar electronics. I used it for the first time with my band last night. The bass sounds INCREDIBLE! The Spector sound is 100% different than my Fender and I love it. Plays effortlessly and I’m getting used to the fact that the neck feels a mile long. My...

    I just got it this week. The neck is chunky but very comfortable.

    The neck is rounder than my P. I was expecting flat. I’m pleasantly surprised.

    I just received my Eurobolt 4 today. As someone who only has Fender basses, I can say 100% this is unlike anything I own. The sound unplugged is unique to me. The neck is much fatter than expected, but still comfortable to play. Fit and finish is phenomenal. The pickups have a nasal tone...

    I just got off the phone with Sweetwater. I’m taking a chance and ordered the Eurobolt with the Aguilar. I was able to get them to include a hard shell Spector case at no extra cost. Looking forward to shaking the rehearsal space next week!

    Somehow I overlooked this group before making my earlier post. I am a Fender guy who is looking at a Spector Eurobolt 4 with Aguilar pickups and OBP2 preamp. Do the pots have a center position so I know where flat is? General opinions on the pickups and preamp… Thanks.

    I have the 115 combo. I swapped a Little Mark tube 800 into it. Great little amps.

    Opinions on Spector Eurobolt 4

    I’m looking at the Eurobolt 4 with Aguilar electronics. I’m a Fender guy so this is new territory for me. How much can you shape your sound with the preamp? Is there a boost/cut with a neutral position so I can start out flat? Thanks in advance.
