What did my trip to Guitar Center's Green Tag sale get me?

Well, I was looking for a GK 700RB-II amp head. My old amp was going on me. I had about $400 saved already so I wasn't planing on buying the amp now, but I heard about the green tag sale so I figured I could save a bunch of money. However, I was a bit disapointed to find that the amp was the same price as listed (I ended up getting the amp for a great price-amazing by the way..but that's not the point of the story).

Now my "local" guitar center is not exactly a hop, skip, and a jump away from my house, so I figured I would take a look at the bases. I imidiately was drawn to a Spector Legend 4 bubinga. I picked it up and I have such G.A.S. I can not believe the sound that came out of that thing. It had such a great funk sound, the sound that I love, and actually got one of the few sounds that my bongo just can't quite hit exactly. I have to say that I was extremely tempted to buy the bass right then and there, but I'm not one for an impulse buy.

So the moral of the story is, Don't play spectors unless you really want to buy one. hehe. but seriously, what do you guys think of them, that is spector Legend 4? I was planning on sabign up for a sterling, but now I just don't know.

 

ok..just to clarify..I did buy the amp. I did not buy the bass.
I just can't help thinking about that tone and for 399 it seems like such a bargain. I'm doubting a sterling purchase because I'm in the process of making a bass with the same exact pickup that is on a sterling and I have a bongo with double humbuckers.

I hate G.A.S. I think I might have to make atrip back to guitar center.

 

I originally thought that too, but I turned the treble down and although you heard the sound acoustically, it did not come through the amp.

 

Alright guys..I bought it. $350, how could I say no. It is awsome with my amp and speaker combo now. As for the mids...I don't know. From what I have played so far, it has great mids, although there is little control of them. I'm fine with that though because I am absolutely flabergasted by the tone out of this thing. I'll post some pictures later when my heart stops racing and I finish the hw. I must fight the urge to play, I have so much work to do. I'll post a better review tomorrow when I "field test" it at church. Thanks for your comments though guys.
