That saves me a lot of measuring and search time. Thanks a lot Limaguy. :)

The pot mounting hole diameter on a Euro LX is around 8.5mm so its tight.

Many pots are 9mm

I would go with this from Stewmac.

Required mounting hole diameter is 7.94mm

The Pot itself is small so it wont bump into anything inside your control cavity.

And the shaft diameter is 6mm split shaft so the Euro knob will fit on it.

Do you guys know how much the Spector bolt on USA (Black Matte)
NS 4H2 was priced in '08. (non custom color or add ons)

Why I ask is because I bought/traded it from Peteybass, nice guy, and it seems like the bass had several owners in a short time frame.....2 different people were selling this bass 1 month apart and now me, the 3d owner recently. I just thought that was a little odd. So I was trying to figure out who originally owned it and what the deal was with the Spector

Thx

I want to try a set of Dimarzios with the tonepump in my Euro 4LX. Can anyone here tell me where I can buy the 500k version of the volume pots in my Spector?

Thanks,

FYI, you may have issues fitting the pickups. I went to put Aguilar PJ's in my Euro 4LX and would have had to increase the routes. They are very snug and the EMG's are a little on the small side compared to some. I bailed as the bass already had a refin.

All practiced and ready to play tomorrow morning, three new songs learned and ready to go!

I think I might have to order me one of those custom leather straps, Coop has a design ready to go using my Torn logo.....he has skills!

If I had to take a guess, the reason it changed hands a few times was most likely to a chunky neck. That happens sometimes with the USA basses where the necks are a bit more on the chunky side (which I love by the way) and people aren't always the biggest fans of them.

Looking at the user you mentioned that was selling it, the price definitely seems fair and it looks like a great bass as well. I know the NS-4 I have has really thick neck on it and it changed hands a few times as well but I love the feel of the thing in my hands.

I'll check the fit before I order the parts.
Thanks a lot for the heads up. :)

Not sure about the P, but I recently learned that EMG's regular 4 string J comes in two different lengths.
The longer appears to be about the same size as everybody else's 4 string J.
Spector uses the shorter one.

I just sold my early red sunburst one. It killed me to do it but im getting a white euro. I have a blue one that I kept. If deal on red one falls thru. Ill let ya know. I love that bass especially tone even with two monyb old strings. Just has a nice boomy sound.

I loves me some chunky neck too...:D

Fat neck = fat tone, tons of sustain, and the ability to utilize a Hipshot D-Tuner without affecting the other three strings. :bassist:
