A few years ago I tried 5 string with a White Rebop 5. What a sweet bass that was. The tone was one of the best I've heard. Couldn't grasp that extra string and I regrettably sold it.
Now I can play and prefer 5 strings. I've had one Spector since, an older Legend with the MM/J pickups and 3-band, one stacked knob, TP jr.
So I recently caught a sweet deal for $260 on eBay.

It's a 2010 Legend 5 Classic with 2-band TP Jr. Apparently the Blue Quilt is discontinued. I just tweaked the trussrod and the intonation on all 5 strings fell right into place. Perfect. No sharp frets, nice neck, not as bulky as the MM/J Legend from 6 months ago. The tone and playability is as close to my White Rebop as I've heard from any other bass I've had in the last few yrs. I like it better than the Millys or 55-02 I've recently sold.
I think I have a club number, but have since forgotten it.

Anyway, I'm happy to be a proud owner of another Spector and it's my main player again. Never thought I'd get that tone back, especially from the Legend, but the Korean Factory must've stepped-up it's quality quite a bit. And I prefer the 2 band over the 3 band. The EMG-SSD's are surprisingly GOOD so they will stay in the bass with no mods.
Thx for reading, happy to be back!! :)

Very nice and what a deal!!! Legends are under rated and over looked. Congratulations! Welcome back! A white ReBop? Don't think I've ever seen one.

Very cool, mine's got the same finish. Same year too, actually. Amazing basses, aren't they? :bassist:
