SPECTOR® Club - Part 26

[steamthief]

Well it was a fluke.I sent the blue in to get some work done, and it came back glossed!Oops!So I was like they ALL must be gloss now!I really like the way it sounds!....The looks don't hurt either!Two down,one to go!

When I was researching prior to buying my Euro, PJ Rubal told me that the gloss finished basses have a higher resonant peak than the matte, so I got my red 4LX nice and glossy.

The blue looks especially awesome with the gloss!

Unless something has changed, Circle K only makes round wounds.

Hey Ice, what's the brand of flats that you use again?
I'm thinking of buying a set to try 'em out; your use of them has made me curious.

 

[t3ch]

Circle's aren't a true round IIRC, they're a bit of an inbetween.

Whatever they are, I love them.

Dang that thing sounds great!
I'm a big Coheed fan. It really is too bad that mic Todd did what he did, but hopefully now he'll get the help he needs. He's been a big influence on my playing.

Yeah dude,what a fool I was!But good mistakes happen!I was cool with the matte,I would never gotten the gloss had they not messed up!Jimmy at the shop liked it to when you pluck a crystal glass,that's what it does to the wood!

Correct
Just rounds!

Euro has been used as a model designation in 2 of the 4 Czech series of neck-thru basses (NSCR, NSCRFM, Euro, Euro LX).
"Euro" has just become kind of generic for them all when "Czech" would really be more correct.


I was going to give you a "Boo, hiss", but........

Not sure of the distance placement question, but FYI:
One of the cool things about the EMG soapbar P's is that they place the coils in reverse P fashion just like Spector does with the actual P pup.

Probably a pre 1999 Czech.
A serial would a long way to your answer.

You mock me, Sir..........

Mock you?Never!Just showing pix of the kids!

Yeah, I recently ordered from the site and the process was quick and painless. Can't wait to try some out, thanks!
Aren't the tapewounds a little different from flats?
I remember reading about them somewhere but I forgot what the difference was. I heard they sound really close to an Upright, though.

From what I understand, I believe tape wounds are in between flats and rounds. I could be wrong though.

And did you tell bassstringsonline.com you were a TB member? He does a discount and it's sah-weet!

Is that a Euro 4 in that video? I see the Spector site lists him as using Rebop but I didn't think they had P/J on the Rebop unless it's a custom thing.

Congrats on the beautiful new axe!! Isn't it everything you wanted and MORE! I have just put mine down after about 2 hours of messing around and playing to recordings. I love this bass more and more every time I pick it up!

He started with an amber rebop during the SSTB era, I think he switched to euros during the good Apollo volume 1 era if I remember correctly.
Also, I've never had a chance to say it, but I dig the metalocalypse avatar. Its ams so metals.
