Spector Euro LX 5 - Convince me!

[Neon Blues]

Good Day TB!

I have assessed my current situation and made clear goals in regards to my playing, my skills set and where I want to be at.

As a result, I have made a clear decision that my next bass needs to be 35" 5 String with a clear but powerful tone.

Whilst I am still open to suggestion, my 2 main choices have been a Spector Euro LX 5, a Yamaha TRB II 5 or a Yamaha BBNE2.

I personally prefer the Spector due to the tone and I've had a lower end Spector previously and had an amazing neck and there's a really nice Red Euro available in Australia which is a decent price.

What say you Euro LX owners, convince me why you love your Euro!

Ive owned two LX 5s and they wre my favorite basses by far. Balanced perfectly and what a tone. I did put flats on both of mine to get a more smooth tone and they worked perfectly. Ive sold them both now and regret it everyday but at the time needed other stuff. I like Yamaha basses as well but in my opinion, the two you have listed are not even in the same category as the LXs.

The Euros have THAT tone. They have superbly low string action usually and can sound singing, bell like, smooth, punchy all the way to ultra aggressive and gritty. And it always sounds like a Spector, that tone is easily recognizable and has tons of character. I loved my Euro LX4, and now love my Rebop even more. They are great basses at a superb value. Go for it!
