SPECTOR® Club - Part 22

[corsa]

Its a Legend Classic 5.
Regarding the input jack. Those models have a very recessed jack if I remember correctly.

I remember playing a new one and 2 right angle plugs had issues like you are mentioning.

That is a great price, I would ask if you can look under the control cavity and see if anything strange is going on inside.

Also in the photos those appear to EMG active PUPs which would be a an upgrade since they come stock with EMG Hzs. The active EMGs make that even a better price.

Sure sounds and looks like a Legend to me. The pickup being loose could just be the screws backed out or the foam was removed from under the pup. If you are comfortable with a soldering iron than fixing or even replacing the jack is easy.

IMHO I like when the finish is wearing off a bit.... if you plan on refinishing the bass, then i say don't get it. I tried that once and it was a lot of work, and not worth it for that price.

If you enjoyed playing it and like how it sounds get it.. the electronics are simply and easy to fix, even if you pay someone it won't be that much money.

Hope that helped

Thanks guys. I think I'll go pay that GC another visit and bring along a screwdriver.

But I'm also very interested in the NS-4P. The NS-4 with the piezo bridge. For a fretless, which will be something I'll want to do probably next year... that piezo with the 18v USA circuit has to be wicked - beautiful sounding.

I will probably find out.

I'm going to sound like a newbie which I am when it comes to guitars. What does the PIEZO do to the tone?

a piezo pup works off of vibrations... think of it as an acoustic pickup. it will give a more "natural" tone

2 people so far for the Forte...maybe the euro limited will get quicker buyers.

I wanna get a green one, but this is a bad time for me.

Maybe so, but if I could get one it'd be a US one.

Well, it's only been a few days, and already at least two orders. Based on Todd's comments, it looks like the Euro isn't an option.

 

[guy n. cognito]

No.

 

[worshiprocker]

No.

that's what I thought...

I'm waiting until the end of the month to put my deposit down. But I plan on getting one.

Who else here plans on getting one?

 

[guy n. cognito]

I'm wondering if we shouldn't start a separate thread about the LE, or if TB would sell Todd some ad space to encourage more buyers.
