Spectors are a great combination of high quality traditional instrument craftsmanship and modern technology. It looks like they are continuing that tradition here.
Your new numero uno is that indeed...fantastic!! ! Perhaps you could share a bit more of the Sarzo Spector if you wish. It would be fascinating hearing say, a P in the bridge and a HB in the neck. Some combinations of pickup types that are rarely seen or heard on "traditional" basses. There is a Facebook channel called "Spector Bass Nation" dedicated to one of the, if not the best name is bass guitars!!!
Been thinking of having these pups put into my old spector q4 pro it has a hipshot gb7 extender and 18 volt darkglass tone capsule. Would awesome to be able to switch style of pickups with just the flip of a switch
Looks like a very cool bass... but with that neck moved out like that, you'd better have damn long arms. My little arm would fall off when reaching for the first position and holding it there for a whole gig. Love those pickups, though. And, damn, the bass sounds great. Too bad I have such a small "wingspan."
I recently picked one up and I have the same long term arm fatigue concern. Preamp is a little hot but can be dialed back internally , but if you stand this bass by a traditional P bass the nut is almost 1.75 inches ahead. Great bass for fingering middle frets, and pups are awesome, but ergonomically it might not work
I believe he swapped the original Tonepump preamp for the Darkglass tone capsule. But I wouldn’t be surprised if he tried a Bartolini preamp in it too. Now Spector has unveiled a new Sarzo Signature Euro with Fishman Fluence pickups and a Fishman onboard eq. They’re using empress wood to reduce it’s overall weight, but it still has a nice figured maple top. Oddly, the body style on this new model is like a standard NS body. It doesn’t have the deeper bottom cutaway.
August Thor you are correct. The PumpTone pre amp is +18db and the neck is rosewood. I need to make a correction there. However, the purpose of the video seems correct IMHO.
