Spectors....WOW!

[OneToBeOne]

During my lunch break, I had an urge to go to a guitar store and so I went. There I found several Spectors hanging on the wall. Now I may have touched a few Spectors before, but today...WOW! I picked one up and it had the perfect feel and tone control (IMO). I haven't had an experience like that in a long time. I don't know what model it was; it had 4 strings, Badass bridge, EMGs, all white, and it was in the $1500-1700 price range. It could have been the SWT 700 head I played it through, but, man, the feel was awesome. My next bass was going to be a EBMM Stingray, but I don't know anymore. I might have to rethink that one!

Used they are even better bargains!

I have a Spector and I absolutely love it to bits. It really is amazing. An absolute bargain considering how good it is!

 

[RONQUITO]

Did the bass you picked up, had two J pickups and a bolt-on neck?

 

[OneToBeOne]

Yes to both.

 

[Bassplayer92]

I know, they are totally awesome, aren't they? I have 4 now, and love them all!

Me obtaining a nice Spectre will be the culmintation of my musical being...

Probably...
Seriously though, I need one baaaaaddd....

[Baryonyx]

There is already a club formed here with plenty of members!

I owned a Euro LX in the past and loved its tone. However, the neck profile simply killed me when playing it for a long time.
That`s the only reason why I didn`t keep it. Otherwise it`s a great bass.

Yep, spectors are the bee's knees... the cat's pajamas... ill stop.

Since you asked nicely, you've got the #58 spot. As always, no pics, no bass!

I have a legend classic 6, not really top of the line but I still love her, though her neck is quite fat and take a while to get used to

I loved my Rebop 5 except for one thing. For some reason it fell flat on it's face when the strings became fairly worn. Sounded really bad. Now my SR5... I recently noted that the strings had been on quite a long time. I made a mental note to get them changed, but every time I plug in, it growls and sustains like they are fairly new strings. That alone (to me) is a big deal. Maybe the EMG's in the Spector were to blame?
