I am looking at buying a spector legend classic. I don't know whether or not I want a 5 or 4. I play hard rock to metal. I am also looking at a schector stilleto studio. Any thoughts on which one?

+1. Actually playing these basses and some others will answer the question of which one will fit you best. People on talkbass can tell you stuff ABOUT them and why they like them, buy only actually playing the instrument will let you know if it's right for you.
I have played all 3 but indecisive. I would buy all 3 if I could. But need only one. Just need opinions on what people think
I'm a spector fan and i would buy the legend if it was me, but since it's not me and it's you, it's up to:
a) which feels more comfortable to play
b) which sounds better
c) whether you prefer a 5 or a 4.
My opinion about c) is to get the 5er, which you will get used to pretty quickly and will help you with the lower notes that you might need, plus with going up and down the neck less

Get the spector in 5 string in case you ever need it, The schecter feels cheap and crappy to me, make sure you change out the emg hz's there awful get some SDB or the emg-x 40dc's.
I would also advice against getting a 5 if you are not completely sure. There are almost always ways to get around the need for those few lower notes, and if it turns out that you needed more time to get used to playing 5's then you might never like playing the bass. Other than that, I had a cheap schecter stilletto 5 once and found it to be very good value, just not the bass for me. Good luck!
