Clearer tone, much increased sustain, more raw tone! It made my Legend 4 sound like a different bass. Legend on steroids!!!
I do the same thing!Oh, I am my own worst critic
This is very true. The one thing I do find myself doing though is thinking too much while playing and that does get me to make mistakes so I need to work on that.
Ok, so I finally made a clip I didn't totally hate using my NS-5XL
The first part of the clip is clean with the bass boosted and treble is flat.
The second part I have the RBI engaged using the Ampeg SVT settings.
The third part, I have the RBI engaged using the Ampeg SVT settings and the bass and treble boosted all the way.
The fourth part is clean with the bass and treble boosted all the way.
The riff is from the song "25 Years" by Pantera off the Far Beyond Driven CD.
Really nice riffs John!!! Great job!!!

Sweet clip John! I think I like the second tone best of all!! ...beefy with just a dash of awesome! Great playing too!!!!!!!!

That's actually quite fitting.
Although I prefer to think of PRS as the "Spector" of guitars.
It's a funny analogy as PRS has never been able to be the PRS of the bass world themselves,
while Spector has the opposite problem where their guitars have just never caught on like their basses.

I just scored this plum Euro off CL for less than 1/3 of what I paid for my white Euro LX!
There are a few minor scratches & dings, but overall it's in great shape. The older style satin gold bridge was in pretty bad shape, so I ordered a new polished bridge from Spector. Plum is hard to photograph, but you can see the deep purple color in the photos where its sitting next to my white Spector. A wonderful playing, killer sounding bass at a great price!

May I officially ask if I may join the Spector club. Went to my local Billy hyde music today and tried out a Spector performer 4 and a Spector legend 4. I have tried the legend before and fell in love with it at first feel. But parents didn't want me to buy an expensive one to just be used at home and for band considering I don't need an expensive bass as a beginner. So I then began my search for a less expensive bass. But after long thought I decided to go with what I really wanted. No other guitar appealed to me like this one. So I decided to go and put it on lay by and slowly pay the $1000 off.
So I went to my local store, tried the guitar out to make sure that's what I really wanted, and then realised they had a 50% off one day offer for all Spector guitars. And on top of that, since I shop there so much I get an extra 10% off. Which makes the guitar mostly affordable. I'm only $90 off from getting it. So in a month or so I will pay it off (going on holiday next week for a couple of weeks) when I get back. Looking so forward to it. I got the cherry red finish. So sexy..glad I got it in the end. Can't put a price on comfort and feel. Put up some pics when I get it...planning to get a leather strap and a nice hardcase to. Just thought id share my experience with you guys.

Awesome deal on the Plum. I would love to have a white one, though. Someday........

Well said.
Same here!...Only take the good ones if I know the place and its going to be 100% safe...and some of the stages are tight as hell..forget about those places, have to worry about banging that damn headstock.
