Nice, do you like PtH too?

PTH 4tw!

I just got back from seeing them. Arif was playing a particularly nice teal Euro 5LX, sounded amazing, and he's an fantastic player.

Hey does anyone know why a US would not have the signature on the back of the headstock other than if it had been refinished? I am looking at one at my local shop and it doesn't have the signature but it looks like an original spector finish. Please help....

Here's my Euro 5LX complete with recently fitted ACG02 preamp - sublime. Sorry about the fuzziness - it's gloomy over here.

Try asking PJ at Spector. He'll probably know why this might be.

 

[Kwesi]

I'm probably gonna end up emailing PJ anyway but does anyone know what the slice of walnut in the Euro basses contributes to the tone?

hey guys. i posted a question about my preamp swapping (tonepump to bqc) on the pups/elec page, but i think it'd help if you spector guys could take a look at it and help me out. here's the link.

I've got some new pictures of my Rebop.

And this is a collage I've made out of all the pictures I've taken, it's my current desktop background.

Whats that, Preston Lancs? Gloomy? Tell me about it! I lived there for the shortest while. Nice to see some Spectors there though!

Somebody loves their bass!

I'm expecting no less than crushing tone.

I just wanna say that Mike Starr's(and Mike Inez-touring bassist)tone on "Would" and "Man In The Box" is OUTSTANDING! I've been a fan of his for a while. That white NS-2 of his is just plain COOL! I'm seriously thinking about trading my USA MTD for an NS-5XL USA...

I am new to Spectors. I don´t own one and I can´t recall to have played one either. But I want to buy a Euro LX 5-string. But first I want to know the weight of it. Does any of you know what this bass weight?

I would guess they are a bit lighter than the previous Chech series, but I'm guessing they are still around the 10 lb. range.

I sure do. It'll stay with me forever.

Correct. My old Czech-made, neck-thru Spector, an NS5CRFM, was about 11.5 lbs. The Euro LX are not solid maple, like the NS5CRFM was, they are equal parts maple and alder with a thin layer of walnut in between. They are still substantial, but not quite as rough on the old neck & shoulders. They should range between 9.75 and 10.75 lbs. on average.

Thats to heavy for me. Maybe I´m going with the 4-string version with the same pickups.
