Set-Neck Spector?

Discussion in 'Basses [BG]' started by millsbass5, Dec 20, 2014.

  1. I ran across this and it caught my eye. Anybody ever hear of a set-neck Spector? Also, the location of the active/passive switch seems to be in an odd location, and is something I've never seen either. Anybody know anything about these?

    I've seen a few set-necks out there including one that came up for sale here on the Spector forum. It seems to be a pretty solid design. Not quite a bolt on and not quite a neck through. The neck is sandwiched between the body laminations. The active/ passive switch may have been and aftermarket alteration. Do you have a picture?

    I have one, but it probably isn't the Spector you are describing. Mine is a Korean-made Spector Legend Custom.
     

  4. Crap, guys. Sorry about not posting the bass in question. Idiot me :D. And, here I was thinkin', "These bastards on here are ignoring me. How dare they!" :woot: Anyway, it sounds like ol' homeboy, WVBass may have answered my question. Maybe. We'll not know until y'all have a gander. Here she be, people......

    That is definitely a Spector Legend Custom. The craftsmanship on mine is everything you would expect from a Spector. I believe it has an EMG preamp, but I have to say mine sounds nothing like you would expect from a Spector. Rather than being aggressive and in-your-face, mine is quite smooth and polite.

    If mine is a typical example, these play as well as any bass out there. Of course, I seem to find a fine playing instrument in just about anything I pick up and put just a little time into.

    Do some homework. That current price seems really high to me. You can find a used Euro neck through for less. Perhaps because it's a rare design he's trying to get more?
