For me the Spector legend 5 I had as a log jam:laugh:. I think it was 16.5 or 17mm

Totally the bridge for me. It only matters for me with five strings. The closer spacing felt "crowded". I figure most 4s are 19mm at the bridge but some might be smaller.

Nice bass you got there. I love the sunburst it really is such a classic look. I'm considering one of these too.

That thing looks great. Absolute fashion win! Bringing the thump!

matching headstock looks great. Lots of great tone variation to come from that bass I bet !

I got player jazz. weird...I've been looking at those! I have the player p already. Maybe its a sign?

I see a lot of PJ configurations being used in rock. I had a yamaha with that kind of set up a long time ago, but that was before I had any understanding of bass pickups at all. Seems like with a pick and some distortion, or just a bit of drive you can get the P thump with some additional growl...

So far I got a preamp to try out simply going direct to interface. Got this inexpensive one: So far in a short practice its working good. Wish It had a mids knob though.

Once I get another bass, I wont have to buy a new set to put on :D

I like something thats a bit more versatile, so I think maybe going back to rounds may suit me better. Despite me really like the flats. Which have only been on a month or less! They have one really good sound. Which actually fits with almost any music. Doesnt really sound a lot like other...

I think I might stick the high beams on my spector on my P now.:cautious::rolleyes: Im losing it! :D this is quite the rabbit hole...

I feel like its this balance of having the right level of tension/flexibility and also having a good sound. Since I've been practicing a lot, I like to get a lot of hours in and if they bother my left (right doesn't seem to care...lol) I wont be able to play as long. I dont seem to like lights...

So I've bought and tried a lot of different strings this year. Its getting a bit weird. I still have all of these in a bag-string-storage area. I dont really like the "high" tension of Daddario XL's and will always take em off. I have a bunch of these. For my P bass I have now gone through...

So I did a little research, looks like my Spector is actually a Legend 5 not a performer 5. Guess that means its a little step up (and I got a better deal..) Im wondering, since I'm unfamiliar. Whats the Spector "Sound"? What are they known for?

Now I want to get my hands on a Sadowsky and try it. If the profile is nice, I gotta try it! Im profile-fussy lol A quick search round these parts seems like about 2K for one.
