Yep for sure I could.
I am just at a point where I really do not want to let go of anything.
All are pretty much keepers.
But who knows?
The more I play this new Spector and the more I keep visiting the BC website and drooling over the one I want there.
I might just go nuts and roll something to grab the cash for it.
ha ha! yeah boy!

Just search Lima guy on sound cloud. He's got just about every bass / pre combo available on there. Nicely with most, playing the same riff so you can hear the differences really well.

Same here, never had to adjust my necks...
See, I used to keep them in the cases but a few people told me to leave them out. One guy at my local store said keeping them in the case at all times is bad since it keeps the bass on its side when it should be standing up straight. That is one of those things where you hear different stories by everyone so i bought hooks and have them all mounted on my wall.
You probably won't want to look into a Rebop at this point since you set the bar so high with a USA model
The tone pump is the circuit they use for the Euro series of basses that gets a very close tone to the 9V HAZ circuit that makes the NS-2's so popular. The output tends to be a bit hot so they came out with tone pumps that have an adjustable trim pot to control the level.I am SURE!
But at over twice the dough of the US Bo's I dunno when that will happen?
I did play NY's Mega millions for tomorrow night, so "Hey ya never know" as they make ya believe in lottery ads. LMAO
I would be plenty happy with a pair of US Bolt ons
Yeah, that's the one I was leaning towards. Absolute beauty of a bass. Whats the exact model name? "spector bass korea" doesnt really give me very much room to look up more info on it. Thanks!
Euro NT basses are a lot less than a US bolt-on and very nice basses. I sold my 30th Anniversary SR4 to get my 4LX and have zero regrets!

AH HA!
Thanks for the info man.
Need to learn what I can.
I was lucky to have a killer US lakland to sell to quickly grab the funds when this bass I bought came up for grabs.
The bass I listed sold in under 3 hours on TB.
Lucked out getting it all together in time to buy my first Spector
Thanks, I saw one or two of the NT euro's selling in various places. Look stunning.
I had a 30th SR4 and sold it too.
It was a nice bass, bit I liked my other SR's better.

its called a spector legend 4 i believe. those models were made from 2004-2006. bubinga top on basswood body. maple neck. 34" scale. emg hz passive with emg 3 band active eq. stacked pots are treble bass, then you have a blend, volume, and mid control. very nice bass for the money. id snag that one up asap if i were you
i strung mine with the new eb cobalts and man is it wonderful. dont get all the classic spector growl, but i can make it growl good 
so yeah. good bass! [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

The guy at the store was high.
Keeping your bass in the case with a packet or 2 of cilica gell (in tune or slightly flat) is the best way to store your bass. Its the most stable micro invironment you can provide.

I leave them in the case with the case straight up...hehe

You will likely find the NT euro's aren't far off from your US bolt on. The US neck throughs are on a whole other level though. Yes their that good, and one of the few basses imo. That are worth what they charge.

me too. like a book shelf
I might have to take the hour drive to Spectors shop in woodstock NY and check them out.
Sure they have a few kicking around for people to try?
None of the stores around here have any.
