each pic, in photobucket, has 4 code choices.
you can click on the bottom code (IMG Code) in photobucket and it will say "copied" in the box where the code is. Then come here and paste it into your message box.
the code will look like this-. [IMG ]http://i1178.photobucket.com/albums/x362/Ronnietex/BeautyandTehBeast.jpg[/IMG]

Question for the other Euro 5LX players out there.

What strings are you using? I'm picking up a new set today after work and don't know what to look for as this is my first 35" scale bass.

Thanks.

I don't own a Euro 5LX but I setup delucajohn2000's Euro 5LX and DR Hi Beams sounded and felt great. It was a little hard to get the non tappered B into the bridge but it worked out ok.

And if you like Nickels, I suggest SUNBEAMS!

Hey guys,

I'm new to these parts and am looking for some basic info on Spector basses and, specifically, the differences between their models and series of basses. For example, is there much of a difference between the US and Euro models as far as quality is concerned? Do both have their intro models and high end models? Is there a big difference between the Euros and the Americans as far as tone and feel is concerned?

Thanks!

Here's the skinny:

USA models are hand built in the good ole US of A. They are the top tier of the Spector line. Neck thru is considerably more expensive than the bolt on models unless you're looking at getting a Forte, which is a USA model that has been stripped down a little to keep cost down. Still a fantastic sounding and looking bass though.

Czech models (Euro) also come in bolt on vs. Euro and like the USA the neck thrus are the more expensive line. They also come with different hardware. The Euros are top notch basses and the necks are the same exact neck in every USA bass. Spector's motto is that the heart of the instrument (the neck) is the same. I've owned a Euro neck thru and it was one of the highest quality basses that I've owned. I've had American basses that weren't built this well!

I could write for days on this, but will keep it simple for now.

I own Euro models and I would say are comparable or better then most other USA basses on the market.
Great Sustain and Tone. (can range from hard rock/metal to funk, slap with ease)

I have a USA Forte on order so I cant comment on one yet but...from what I see others saying it is just amazing.

The higher end USA models are amazing works of art.

If you would like to get your hands on a Spector but not break the bank yet, try a Used Euro Neck-thru, usually between $800-$1200 used.
