Pawn Shop find.....

[DWBass]

Just grabbed this from the local Cash Converters. In really good condition. Straight neck and it has StrapLoks. Less than 9lbs too. Just have to upgrade the electronics as the current set is not pleasing to the ear. Planning a full EMG upgrade.

DW, just two weeks ago, you said you never find anything good in pawn shops. You never know when things will turn around!

LOL. Not a major coup on the price but I couldn't let it pass me by. Oh, and it has a rosewood neck. I'm a maple neck guy but the bass looks good.

Spector Legend 4 Classic MIK...
or is the game rule not to give names ?

Thanks for ID'ing the bass as I did not know what model it was. Hence no model name given. I know nothing about Spectors. I'm mainly a Jazz bass guy.

Rosewood fretboard, maple neck. Nice score though - I've owned a couple import Spectors and mostly enjoyed them.

I had the same one, just in the 6 string version. It played great and sounded decent even with the hz pickups. A solid working bass for sure

Congrats on your great find!

Yes. Normally they have crap. Was surprised this was there. Price wasn't out of line but I got them to drop off $20.

The best bass I've found at my local pawn shops was an "MIA Fender," priced like a MIM...with an Indonesian serial number.

Lolz, there are Warwicks at my local pawn shops.
Wish they'd take in something I didn't already have.

I have one of these and can't stand the tone from it. Upgrading the electronics is the right move! Mine just sits in the closet.

I only have it because I needed the case it was in for another Spector of mine (one of the nice embroidered Spector cases). Seller wouldn't split them up (can't blame him). $350 for the pair was a steal considering the case on its own is about $200.

I had one, they play nice, are comfortable, light weight, decent hardware, I didn't like the electronics, but, they are worth upgrading.

Nice score!

Always a plus... well, minus, in this case... Nice find!

A perfect example of a global economy.

The Korean Spectors are players. Drop in a pair of 35DCs and the EMG BQC system and you will be one happy camper. About the BQC: be sure to experiment with the DIP switches, they really affect the high frequency response curves. It sounds like a totally different pre amp with both on vs both off.

I had the five string version..... great Bass for the money, but I'm just not a five string guy.
