In my haste I actually made a mistake, the jazz pickup was at the neck position. there was a humbucker or soapbar at the bridge. It's on ebay right now. I'll try to post the link as soon as I figure out how. Never seen a Legend like this.

There was one on eBay back ths spring with a J neck/H bridge. It was a Legend custom 4. I almost bought it. Thought about it every day really hard. A great looking bass at a low price too. It was being sold for a music store.

I'm looking forward to A/B ing the trimpot version of the TP with the non trimpot version. My Euro 4 has the non trim, but my Euro 5 will have it. I know the pups are different, but I'm curious as to how the trimpot version reacts with my ears with the gain cut a bit. I've been debating on changing out the 4's pre to either the newly updated TP or putting all the chips on the table for the Haz.

For those with both versions of the TP, do you find you can match the sound from the non trim TP with the trim version? Maybe with the gain dimed? I'm just wondering if any other changes were either made or were a result of adding the trim.

Hey guys

Just a long shot-but do any of you out there have the late 80's SPECTOR 5 bass made by Stuart at the Kramer factory in Neptune, New Jersey ?

There were less than 90 made I think. They were all neck thru and had 2 J type single coil pickups and the serial number started with the letter V ( meaning 5 I guess in Roman numerals--and not V for vintage ).

Solid basses and nice to look at and listen to.

Please let me know and could you post pics for others to look at :hyper:...pleaz ????



Gracias

I had a non-trim Tonepump in previous ReBop and had it for a short time in my NS-2A.

I have the Trim version in my Euro 4LX.

I am very happy with the Trim version of the Tonepump.
I have it at 60% and can boost the bass and treble very nicely when needed.

I always felt that the non trim version just peaked everything, even with the volume turned down I still never really liked it.

Regarding the Haz, I am sure it sounds amazing but I think you would be pretty happy with the updated Trim Tonepump for $99. And you could sell you current Tonepump for about $40-$50.

I am also thinking for gig wise, it would be good to have both basses with the same Pre so you wouldn't need to make adjustments in your amp when switching between them.

That's what I'm thinking as well. I like the tone of my 4, love it in fact, but I'm not really able to use any boost on bass or treble. If anything, they're both cut. I will try out the trimpot TP in it probably after Christmas. I think I will be happy with that. And, you're right; having the same preamp in both means no drastic amp changes between one or the other. I'm very much a set and forget guy when it comes to gigs. I don't want to be turning around and twiddling knobs. I want to set it once, and move on. If the room requires any EQ changes, I'd rather do that from the bass. With the TP's gain, I don't have much adjustment in that area right now.
