Help identify this bass - Spector Korea

it arrived today, a real beauty, and the body is curved as it should be :D

tomorrow I'll give it a deep clean (it's full of dust, frets are opaque, and the fretboard needs wax) and try it plugged in, but overall it seems to be in good conditions.
the finish is perfect, the weight is around 4kg, the tuners move perfectly smooth. I noticed a couple of frets that are slightly sharp on the G-side, but nothing critical.

it needs a new set of Rotosound :D

later I'll post some pictures of the control cavity.

very nice bass, I used it yesterday at the rehearsal, and the sound was really "spectorish", even boosting the highs gave the right Spector growl. I guess it's not an EMG BTS, but I have to open the cavity to check.
however, the pots work without hissing and noises, the EQ does it's job, and the bass is dead silent.

it weights between 3.8 and 4kg, similar to my Euro4 LX, and it's well balanced. the overall ergonomic is similar, and I didn't have any problem playing it after the right setup I did.
it needs a fret dressing, because there are some sharp/cutting frets on the edges (they also catch the cloth I used to clean :P ) and on the first frets it needs a leveling, guess I'll take it to my luthier after the gig on may 22 :D

I confirm that the preamp it's an EMG BTS, with the switches to change the EQ point of the high frequencies.

later I'll post some decent pictures of the bass!
