Here ya go.

Is that 2 separate 9-volt preamps, or 2 separate 18-volt preamps?

I scared to post this SUPER SERIOUS question for the club since we're about to go to part 34. But what the heck, I'll just copy it over if we get locked out.

OK, had an emergency consult late last night with Pimp Daddy Sambo. I'm having a bit of a GAS attack for a TW pup'd Spector. I'm a little late to that party since I've been so focused on the PJ's. Here's my question for the experienced:

In single coil mode does it have a nice "J" type growl? Open, airy, nasally? Is it hollow and lacking fundamental? Is the volume drop between series/humbucker and single coil crazy or workable? And in general, how do you like your TW's?

Thanks fellers.

I've just got my Spector 4LX-35TW and I must confess that TW seems useless to me...I only use them in single coil mode because in dual mode they sound very muddy and indefinite...So IMO all this proclaimed versatility turned to be a waste in real life. If you want something different from PJ pups get yourself JJ or 35DCs, not the TWs.
P.S. I still love my 435LX with PJ and will never part with it)

Yep. Its a spector, not a fender. Kinda can't make a lion do what it doesn't want to. Best not to fight it
