@Blakeadam52 2 года назад

The string wobbles that your camera catches from your playing are so god damn hypnotic. Lol i like your playing too! Its just so much fun seeing how strings work in such high detail!

@Maht25 2 года назад

For those interested/wondering: the TonePump (and tonepump jr) are meant to emulate Ampeg SVT's. The Tonepump differs from the Jr in that it has an internal trimpot that allows you to sweep exactly how much the pre-amp can boost the frequencies. In between halfway and 0 is the "middle" where there's essentially no boost or cut. My Euro LX is my favorite bass to play, it's the most comfortable instrument I've ever played.

@josegalindo1262 Год назад

I gotcha, sounds good but tone pump Jr is nothing compared to the legendary haz lab preamp. I really miss my Woodstock 94 ns5

@Maht25 Год назад

@@josegalindo1262 definitely. I almost bought a Legend 5 that some guy jacked up with Barts and the Haz Lab preamp because I was craving that sound (my 4LX has EMG's and the TonePump) but he was charging $800 so I was on the fence. now it's gone :(

I've been a Spector player for years, and I have an '89 NS-2, but I just got the Pulse in the same ultraviolet finish, and it is very amazing! Spectors have always been my "go to" basses!

@TenFalconsMusic 2 года назад

These are really comfortable basses to play (next to the insanely priced Warwick neck throughs). What's more, they don't look as "boutique" as the Warwicks and are a great fit whether you're playing Stoner Metal of Jazz. And unlike a boutique bass, you'll actually play gigs with it and not have a conniption fit if you scratch it. I just love a "They got it right & I don't have change a thing bass."

@dezsodebreceni4829 2 года назад

Well the Spector NS series (US made) does look the boutique part, also it costs that kind of money

@tonycarel1785 2 года назад

You are really comparing apples to oranges. This specter is in the more affordable range. Not a Warwick master built. Way different from one end of the spectrum to the other end. ( Imop) not impressed with the specter. Regardless of being payed for a review or not. I believe Patrick over sold this review. I generally like his reviews I just can't agree with him on this.

@alexskibicki2262 2 года назад

Awesome review, Patrick. 😎🎸🤘🏻 This bass sounds killer. Especially with distortion. And nicely done on the Alice In Chains tune. I’m a fan of Alice In Chains. Since you’ve asked what bass to check out, I would recommend checking out Yamaha trbx or bb basses and schecter stiletto basses. I own these basses. Phenomenal sounding and underrated. I also would recommend dean edge basses. Definitely Check them out if you’re interested in trying something underrated.

@edwardjensen9737 2 года назад

Could you make a video on their most affordable series, the performer I believe? It would be interesting if you could try that line and one of their most expensive lines too, just to see the differences great video!

Hey Patrick! I’ve been on the fence about looking into getting a bass from Maruszczyk, but would love to hear your thoughts on one! Any plans on doing a demo with them?

@wollace3125 2 года назад

Great video! So what (other than color) is the difference between the II’s and the pulse I’s (the ones that come in sand blasted grey and black)? Thanks!

@coreldan 2 года назад

Sounded better than The 5 string version videos. Wonder if its just the style/signal chain or the actual pup setup. I cant justify buying 4 stringers :p

@eoak134 2 года назад

It’s the pickup spacing. Look at the euro 5 strings. They’re much closer together. I have an older NS2000q5 and it has the same spacing as the pulse. It’s not bad, but I’ve never been a fan of the wider spacing.

@Mattseak 2 года назад

@@eoak134 5-stringer has completely different pickups too so... Also signal chain is probably even bigger factor here.

@TheShaneGuy Год назад

Help me out. I’m trying to buy a new bass but I don’t live anywhere near a decent music shop here in Ireland. Would you rather have Spector Pulse 2 or a used Musicman Stingray and why? I played bass a for a few years and learned the fretboard board and then played guitar for 20 years and now want to go back and play bass again. Ideally I would get one of each but this will be my main bass instrument, most likely 5 string.

@tonycarel1785 2 года назад

Malcolm H Korg buying Spector for me personally has not been positive experience. Also close friends of mine not so much either. We have all experience everything from cosmetic flaws to wiring issues. In the last three years have purchased 3 Euro 5 LX all have been returned for legitimate reasons concerning quality and craftsmanship. Will not ever buy another Spector. And my close friends are in the same boat

@malcolmh5736 2 года назад

@@tonycarel1785 interesting.. I had sort of thought it would go down in quality. Ned Steinberger oversaw Spector but then became not involved through all of it. When Ned sold the Steinberger bass to Horner, it went from greatness to junk and original Steinberger basses doubled in $$; some more, years later. I hope my original Euro LX holds value in like fashion
