my green Euro 5. I no longer have the natural oil one. that was traded towards the Bolin NS5 I now have. shame that as the flame was lovely and it sounded a little mellower than the green one even though they had the same tonepump circuit
Thanks man. I kind of thought it had a classy look when I bought it. The thing has great punch and a helluva a growl to it.
My girlfriend calls it my "cloud" bass. With that "cloud" motif in mind, I have been thinking about sending my truss rod cover to this guy:

and having him make a custom truss rod cover. I was think an ebony cover with an abalone lighting bolt on it similar to his example S6.

I'm new and this is my first post and because of how much I love my Spector I figured I would post here
I own a Legend 5 in Black Cherry, not sure what year it was made though.
Here's some not so good pictures of it:

Welcome to TalkBass, 'Geothermal'! What better way to 'get your feet wet' than to post about your Spector!
'Spector Ray' will probably have your Member # soon!
Thanks for the welcome.
All your fancy Spector basses are intimidating ^^
I especially like that green one above, I'd kill for a Spector in that colour!

Class, punch and growl, I think they're pretty much trademarks of every Spector starting from the Rebop upwards!
Just barely bought my first Spector yesterday (Legend 5). I'm loving it so far! Played so much yesterday my fingertips are swollen.
I'll get some pics up when I get home from the office today.

Legend 5, ah, such a nice bass ^^
I got mine after only trying a Performer which I believe they stopped making. So when I got it delivered it was SOOO much better, even the Performer was nice. They suggested I try a Schecter Stiletto Custom 5 in the shop, tried it the strings just felt too loose to me and I couldn't play it properly, it seemed a better bass overall but I like a nice amount of tension on my strings.
What colour did you get it in?

I got this here. It's been through a few TB'ers, but it's mine now andI think I'l keep her... Spalted Maple Euro 5, with the EMB BCQ system in it. I'm still playing with all the sounds!
That's too beautiful to use such a weenie pic!
She deserves better.

I can't seem to get very big pics posted. I have all these at 8megapixels each, but I have pretty basic image stuff...
This is arguably the most comfortable bass I've ever played in my life. No number?
Thanks for the blow up...

I asked people to ask for a number because it would be presumptuous to assume they want in the club. But since you asked, you're #60. Welcome!
Despite being "only" a Legend, I really like the playability of this guy. Got a good deal locally on it.
I set it up with coated strings, and found out that I don't like coated strings. :doh: So I'll end up going with my Blue Steels or Fat Beams.
Anyway, I'll save your inbox from overflow and just ask for my number here.
The family shot, minus the new Dingwall and Lightwave.

Hey there,
First post on these forums. I am a guitarist who has switched to bass. I just recently bought a used 80's Spector NS2A. I have always wanted one after seeing Sting play his white one in the 80's. I emailed Spector about the details and some info does not add up exactly. My NS2A has EMG pickups and it also has Gotoh tuners instead of Schaller. I have a question about the EMG set up. I have a volume for each pickup and a tone for each, there also seems to be a black wire inside the cavity that is not connected to anything. I got such a great deal on this bass, would it be a good idea to update the EMG system? I'd like a seperate bass and treble control instead of two tone knobs. Any feedback welcome.
Oh yeah, I'd love to have a number!

Nice bass! I'm thinking of upgrading as well. If you get any good suggestions, please forward them to me at [email protected].
Thanks!
