Hey Groovy, the Bantam is still the bass I pick up most often. It’s just that I paid £1700 and had higher expectations of the finish. I love the tone. Honestly, it’s made me wonder if I need to start saving for a ‘real’ Spector. I look forward to your thoughts on the LHZ.

I have the Spector Bantam 5. Yes, the neck is a bit thicker. It can do the Spector sound but can also be a lot smoother. Ian Allison’s review is pretty fair. I would say though that the quality is not brilliant. The knobs are the cheapest I’ve ever seen and the control cavity cover isn’t...

I’ve got a Bantam 5 as well. The sound is great. Big and powerful. If you go with one check the setup. Mine arrived with no tension on the truss rod. The E and B strings sounded dull. Only found the problem when I changed strings.

Thanks for the reply. Yes, it’s still strung with the original strings. I’ll add the Hi-beams to my shortlist.

I’m in. Spector Euro Bantam 5. 32” scale according to Spector but I measure it as 31.5” Strings are knackered but haven’t got round to ordering some new ones. The A to G strings sound amazing but the E and B are muffled.

#1 definitely, with tendencies towards #2

No chance. I’ve got three six strings alone! Warwick Corvette fretted Ibanez SRF706 fretless Tune Somnus Zi2 fretted Not sure what to do with the other eight

My S1 Deluxe 5-string. Planning to take some better photos at the weekend.

It's here! :D Strings are very old but still sounds NICE. A previous owner 'upgraded' the electronics... :( Anyway. Are you guys still giving out numbers?

Looks like I'm going to be joining the club. Just paid for a 6-string Zi-II on ebay. Will take a while to arrive but already excited.
