This is one of the coolest looking Spectors I've seen including USA models. Gunmetal finish matches the gun-like sound of these bad boys

Anton, Very Nice Avatar!

Thank you Ice! And you have both green grass and white snow background for your Coda in one post! Season changes but not the bass! Cool.

Now you see what I mean?....Brooklyn again!!! Cool pic, Omer. I wish I'd have one of these some day. I was very impressed by Brooklyn bolt-on NS-2JA I used to have.

BAM! IN!

Not an intrusion at all. The NS 2000/5 is a neck-thru and the Legend 5's are bolt on. Some of the older Legend custom's had a set neck but the recent ones are all bolt-ons.

I think the NS2005 has a 34" scale and the Legend is 35".

Thanks. Is one better than the other?

Spector site lists the NS 2000/5 as 35" scale but I have never tried one. I really want to though.

NS-20005™

5-Strings
NS-2000™ fully carved body

Neck-Thru construction
35" Scale
24 frets

Passive EMG HZ™ pickups
Active EQ - 9v
Black hardware
Spector Locking Bridge (Korean Import Version)

Thanks. Is one better than the other?

I just depends on your preference I would think if you prefer a neck-thru or a bolt-on. The 2000/5 has an EMG BT circuit and the Legend has a Tonepump Jr. if it is one of the newer ones. Both have EMG HZ pickups in them.

Correction: The Legends have the SSD pickups in them.

Is regarded more than the other as far as quality goes?

As having a legend and an ns-94/5 (2k5 are the same but 35" scale) and as far as quality goes, I'd go with the 2k5.

We haven't touched on availability. The 2K5's will take some looking I imagine.
