SPECTOR® Owners Club

[scubaduba]

I gather there aren’t a lot of RST’s out there yet but to anybody considering one I give two thumbs up. The weight and electronics are the two factors that make it a win for me as opposed to the couple of others (Euro and USA) I’ve had before. No neck dive and maybe a bit less “cold” or more organic might be a way to describe the tone which I personally love. Still bright and punchy but a little less ping I’d say. I do like the roasted maple too though I can see where it is maybe not for everybody. A 5 string at 7 lbs that looks great, sounds great, and balances well is a win in my book.

Anybody else have a RST?

 

[AB Nate]

Actually that is exactly what I’ve been considering. Do you remember what value resisters you used?
It would be nice to get the output consistent with my other basses.
Maybe EMG could provide a recommendation.
I don’t want to do anything that changes the overall tone.

have you tried lowering your pick ups? Sorry if it was discussed

I did. And it helped some. Maybe I should lower them a bit more.

I’m the new owner of a 2003 Spector Euro bass . Wondering if this has been in the hands of a fellow member . It has a nice worn in spot on the top of the body

 

[SS904]

Pretty bass. I have that same wall hanger and I happen to know it came with 5 hooks... Just sayin!

Found some scribble in the cavity of Spector Euro

 

[AB Nate]

Hey! Anyone have a Tonepump (even non-trim) they'd be willing to part with (& ship to/within Canada)?

If your still looking I may have you covered.
I’m not to far from ya either.
Pm me if you want

I woke up this morning(family outta town stuck at home finishing a Reno)

of course woke up on the couch.

Look up and this is the first thing I see.

So, of course. She had to be plugged in and given a morning run down.

I think it’s “the one” Spector.

I wish my NS was a 6 as I just don’t see it getting any regular love….

Why do you have TWO string shaped thumb rests?

 

[AB Nate]

Why do you have TWO string shaped thumb rests?

One is for flossing, the other is for towing around the unplayed 4 string basses

Well..... Another very cool and unique Forte may or may not be en route to the Forte Fortess of Canada......

Did you buy that red Forte with Wide5 spacing Rod?

Nice! That’s a sweet bass, congrats!

 

[scuzzy]

just ordered a BQC control for my euro 5. I like the sound of the Aggie OBP-1, but I want more control over the tone. hoping for an easy install when it arrives.

Uneducated guess but a little bit of soldering and it’ll be quite straightforward

Kind of figured that. Congratulations

 

[PhatBasstard]

Well...
I got a (white) Ian Hill 50th arriving tomorrow.
Anybody with experience with this particular model?
I always wanted a single (reversed) P NS.

These are going $2799 (+ shipping and tax) most everywhere.
I offered $1600 shipped and they (Music Go Round via Reverb) surprisingly said yes.

Adding an Extender, EMGx and replacing the trim Tone Pump with a BQC System.
Probably a hard case too.

 

[PhatBasstard]

On a similar note, if anybody is looking to move some type of HAZ clone (Korean, SNC) I am in the market. Thanks!

Going to have a trim Tone Pump available as soon as my BQC arrives.
Send me a PM if still interested.
