Korean made Spector NS2000/Q5

I have one for sale.. It's a great bass, I just don't want to play 5's anymore...

 

I've tried a NS 2000/4, I dont know what it is that seperates that one from the Q5.

I liked the bass, I thought of buying it for a while, but I bought a Warwick instead.

The neck and sound of the Spector is great, but I thought that it felt a bit "sloppy" or whatever you wanna call it. Some buzzing in the upper frets too.
Overall: A good bass, great for slapping!

 

The 2000/4 is neck through with a carved body, like the Czech and US Spectors.

The Q series has an non contoured body and a bolt on neck.

They are both made in Korea.

 

I tried a NS2000Q4 that one of my customers bought.

It is very live sounding and despite it´s basswood body, it sound like no other basswood bass, it has a great "live" sound that is excelent to get a growly pick tone and excellent slapping tones.

Good low action that allowed me very fast slap riffs and great tapping.

The string spacing is close and the neck is very thin , and extremely comfortable, it was a delight to play.
Sadly, it only had 4 strings.


Bridge = Premium Brass Bridge
Pickups = EMG HZ, first time I tried them. very good better than Mighty Mites.

 

I like the Bolt on NS-2000 Spector basses. I had the same bass that I used as a back up to my USA NS-5. I sold it only because I got a GREAT deal on an NS-5CR on Musicians Friend. If you can, go to a store that has the Spector & bring your Yamaha with you.

 

i played one the 4 string ones, i LOVED it, perfect for slap and tap playing. and finger style as well.

 

it as a nt. quilt top.

 

uuummm!!!...Spectors

 

1) That bass does not cost $800
2) $410 is not high if the bass is new, it is still lower than retail, but just a little.
3)Does it have a case?

 

I had to work for about a hour at are local music store and had to tune several of those! I also thought that it was very sloppy. But then again before i tuned those i had to tune a europe bass and a bolt on usa. So between the 2 they were not even close to the same! But i aslo tuned several other basses that day and for the price range it was the best! Others i tuned were washburns-cheapy model yuck! Ibanez and peavey! Ohh and a old bently!

 

Congrats! You did good. I paid 600 w/ hs case for my Q5. I did change to EMG 40's and 18volt system. Made a world of differance for the mid and high end tone.

 

If it's new, you got a good deal.
