Holy Mackerel!!!! You killing me!!!! I have a USA hand made signed 1993 NS-2 Spector. This sounds just as good!!! Damn Johnny! You the best, I could listen to you all day!
Spectors are absolutely phenomenal instruments. Getting a violet fade euro 5 lt here soon.. Own a older spector Q4 pro that i have had a 18 volt tone capsule put in and its a monster. Solid grove my bass brother.
I love your adding of "color" in this review. Your comments are hilarious and refreshing. By the way, I take delivery of the tigers eye euro 4 lt this week. Subscribed.
So positive love it 😊 very very nice bass they make probably the most versatile basses around and the comfort of and play ability is top notch. Good for you jonny i hope you love it
There are some Euros out there that are gnarly as hell, I had one I wished I never let go. Was a 435LX and it was the best I had ever heard from that line.
jajajaja!!! que locura que tenes Hermano mío!!! jajaja!!! me haces reir mucho!!!! Que buen Speeeeeeeector!!!!!!!!!!!! Alucinante!!! Yo tb tengo Spector, Belleza pura por donde se lo vea/escuche!!!!!!
Even if it wasn't said in the title seeing the strap button location and curve of the body already knew it was a Spector NS body. If it's a little hot for the amp check the control cavity for a trim pot on the preamp you can dial it back turning it counter clockwise .. I have a violet burst euro 5 lt with a tone pump and emg dc40 humbuckers love the bass my favorite. Also love my old q4 pro with a 18 volt darkglass tone capsule and my spector rebop 5 dlx zebrawood with a emg bqc
God damn. I suspect that Aaron Mills used one of these on Ms. Jackson and other Outkast tracks. Either that, or a different NS2 style Spector bass, one with the active PJ setup and a neck-through construction. That sound is so distinct. I love it. If anyone knows for sure what he used, please let me know
I had the same Bass. With a slightly different headstock. It was a Warwick Streamer Stage I. No matter who copied who (Warwick did...), the bass was killer. The EMG P/J set together with the cut/boost preamp made that girl sing and growl.
Gotta get one!!!!!!!!!! Update just picked up a Spector Euro5 String LX With The Poplar Burl Gloss Finish...Its the same one that was at the 2019 NAMM show----loving it!!!! maybe heading to the HOBO DEPOT next for some new mods!!!! any ideas on alternative preamps Johnny?
Hey Johnny, in your opinion what are the pros and cons of the reverse precision pickup? I'm planning on a custom build soon and debating whether I should go "normal P" (EA coil ahead of DG coil) or "Reverse P".
francoispayen I have a few basses with Reversed Ps, and I’ve consistently found that the E/A coils closer to the bridge tighten up the tone of the lower strings to a nice degree, as well as loosening up the D/G by placing them farther away. It’s only a matter of .75-1.00” at most, but I prefer it to the point that I had the precision pup reversed on my custom Mike Lull PJ/JJ24-5. To my ears, it may not be the “classic” P/J tone but it’s the evolution of that particular tone.
Just played a Euro today in the local music store. These basses are beyond every other brand! Perfect crafted, perfect tone, perfect look. These basses are just perfect. Better than any Warwick, Fodera, Ritter or other gay brands
I tried an Alex Webster Euro and the sound was fantastic but the neck felt like a telephone pole. I own a 4 and 5 string P bass and a 5 string mid 90’s Stingray and the Spector neck was like twice as big as those necks. Is that normal because I absolutely could not stand it.
