I was going to post the same question about a 4, but Pasdabeer beat me to it... I'm looking to grab one in amberburst here in a few weeks.

I do know that they have the curved/carved body, EMG/HZ pickups and EMG preamp-unless they've changed.

Any info will help me in deciding. :hyper:

Ok, well, I don't own the Legend series, but two NS2000/5s. Here's what I can tell you about those, if it'll help ya any:
The B string on both of mine is pretty dang good - whether it be the 35" scale, brass nut or insane bridge or NT construction I don't know, but it's awesome, and it balances very well with all the other strings.
The feel of mine is very solid - neither of them feel like they have a weak component anywhere, nor do they feel like it'll fall apart from use, a draw back from this though is a semi-heavy bass. I don't know how much mine weigh, but I know it's heavier than my ESP P/J, my old Washburn and my old OLP.
#3 I can't answer, though I'm sure someone will be able to.
My NS's both have a wonderful range of sound, even with a totally flat EQ at the amp, and just tweaking between pickups or fiddling with the 2 band on board.
Well, I hope this helped in some way. I know it's not a Legend, but I'm pretty sure the Legends replaced the NSes from Korea, so a lot should be the same.

Edit: Just buy it, if ya don't like I, I may know someone who would take it off your hands ;)

The legends are nice, real nice. It may be hit or miss on the B's. I have a Legend 6 and it sounds really good. The B on the Q series I had for 2 weeks did nothing for me. It's a curved body, with a mid sweep EMG EQ. For the money they have to be one of the best basses out there.

I was curious as to when you'd chime in...
Thanks to Spector I'm saving my pennies and nickles for a Euro 5 LX. mmmmm

Mine has a really tight punchy B, good tones (pretty varied) curved back, my only beef is the finish seems to be weak. It scratches REALLY easily, it got like a gash on the back (buckle rash??) and a little chip on the front and has gotten ALOT less wear than my Carvin.
