Sounds and plays awesome, great low action. Can't wait to hear it with my full rig in rehearsal tonight.

Number please! :bassist:

Jeff, don't sell your basses - I really think you would regret it. I'm betting a few set-up tweaks would get the E-string issues resolved, and while you can always save for a new amp down the road, once those fantastic Kramer-era beauties are gone, they would most likely be gone forever...

Yes, I will try them with a few amps this weekend and maybe take a ride to Nolls.

Jeff, the first problem is they spelled "Ampeg" wrong on the front of that amp. Hehe.

Second of all, that blue is just ridiculously awesome, you can't get rid of that

I agree with Lee, mess with the pick ups, adjusting them can make a big difference. Those Kramers are just too awesome to give up on so easily, but yeah, the Woodstock coming this week should be killer....

Hmmm, Kramer or Woodstock....Can't it be both? :bassist::bassist:

Yes, maybe I should try ALL avenues first...:bassist::bassist::bassist:

Hey everyone. I'm really interested in buying a Spector. I'm really drawn to the design of the body shape, it's gorgeous. I'm looking at a used Spector Euro, I think 4LX is what I'm after. If anyone has one they are interested in selling, please PM me. Thanks!

Ice - thanks for the kind words on the Burl bass a couple of pages back. That's also a great price on the Forte 5, I'm sure you'll have no problems selling it.
As for pup height - I run my Euro 4 at a little over a credit card thickness from the pups and my Rex5 at about 1/8" gap. I dig in harder on the Rex and play it more agressive than the Euro which is mostly used for smooth jazz and mellow stuff. It is worth experimenting with pup height, it makes a huge difference in sound on my Spectors and with the right strings (using Elixer nanos on the Euro) you can really change the personality of these basses.
In general, crank em down and turn up the volume, less grit and grind unless you really dig in. Crank em up close to the strings and use less volume and a gentle touch for very detailed harmonics and chords or a little harder for all out grind. BTW - I'm really loving the Elixer nanos on the Euro 4, they're slick (almost slippery) and really allow a lot of left hand freedom and speed (and as bad as I play that's a good thing).

Yeah, I was explaining how I do it to bassgiant that asked the question.

I believe you're the only one that I've seen on here that uses Elixers. I've been trying out the RS Jazz Bass Flats for the past month, as they are 65% nickel, I love that they still have that bark of the nickels but are smooth. The only thing that I don't like is that they don't have as much sustain as Stainless Steel Flats like from GHS. I'd like to try some Dogals when I get some extra $$$...for now I may go back to GHS Precision SS Flats. I love how they sound, feel like silk, keep in tune and their sustain! I've always said that they're the next best thing to sex. LOL Sorry! But they're that GOOD! When I try another brand, then go back to GHS, I get this audible Oh YEAH baby, welcome back! :bassist: I've asked my wife to not let me try anything else but she hasn't and won't stop me. Haha! :cool: :rollno:
