Spector Club Pt. 5 (Insert Clever Title Here)

Status
Not open for further replies.
I have the Spector cases.

Yes, there are different sizes. The one for my 4 string is smaller than the one for my 6 (35" scale, slightly bigger body) and neither bass fits as well in the other (although, in a pinch, they're OK). So consider this and be bass specific when buying as most dealers don't point this option out (or don't realize it themselves).
I've occasionally seen them listed in three sizes (4, 5 and 6 string). The local Sam Ash only seems to stock 2 sizes and I have trouble believing the 5 and 6 basses need different sized cases.

I would say they are no worse off than anybody else's Fender style tolex cases.

In fact, my 4 string case was on tour with Evan Seinfeld before I got it. A little banged up and a missing middle latch, but still doing it's job just fine.

I agree with Phat on this one! I purchased a Spector case for my 4 this year. It looks a lot nicer than my Rhino that my 4 came in, it has more inside storage. I'm thinking about buying another for my 5 but so far I like the Road Runner that my Rebop came in, extra storage for cords & strings on the outside, but it zips instead of latches. So I'll see how this one holds up. FYI I do have a Gator case for sale if anyone's interested!
 
My Rebop 4 is here!

First impressions are that nice tight punchy sound is there. There IS a little neck-dive.

So far so good

I didn't get a case or any bumpf at all with it, but that might be the norm in the UK
