Those barts with the tone capsule and the spector are made to each other, is the best spector PJ I ever heard imho and that tiger eye finish is gorgeous I want one so bad
I was just given a beautiful Spector bass today. It was in a major fire when a music shop burned down a few years ago. It has been tossed around from one repair shop to another, and another for the last three or so years, and I finally convinced the owner to let me have it, so as to save its life. Plenty of parts and hardware are missing, and the neck is fairly warped from the nut to the fourth fret. I may need to remove the fret board, and the whole body and neck will need to be refinished, including the lamination on the head stock. Huge undertaking, but it's going to be fun, and definitely a labour of love.
Just got mine last week. Unfortunately, we can't upload pics here. It's the new Euro 4 LT, tigers eye. Set it up and it's fricken perfect. VERY bright top end.....high fidelity sounding with huge bottom end. Think Rickenbacker on steroids.
The first fret is actually a bit further away. Noticable when you switch from a Fender to Spector like I did a year ago but you get used to it Quick and it actually has some benefits. The higher frets are much easier to play i feel.
I imagine it mostly depends on what kind of music you play. If you're playing something like Vasoline on a bass where the first fret is far away you might up end with carpal tunnel haha
@@nickk5948 The scale lenght is the same but the body of the Spector is more offset compared to a Fender making the first fret further away but the higher frets more accessible.
Has anyone found the volume control frustrating? I love the look and the sound of Euro LT, but it would seem that you'd have to 'reset' the tone of the pick ups each time with the volume, or am I confused on how these work?
All spectors are kinda like that. I have Ns Pulse which you have to sort of back everything off a bit otherwise the signal is too hot with everything turned up. Bass knob is 0db at 9oclock and treble 0db is 12oclock.
Klingt wirklich sehr "knackig", gute Vorführung. Als Produzent arbeite ich seit vielen Jahren Studio ausschließlich mit einem TOP Studiobassisten zusammen. Dieser spielt den 5-Saiten Yamaha Bass, very very good...Best Regards, Horst Lemke, Musicproducer, Germany
@@DanVeallBassist Sounds killer! I'm playing through a Bergantino Forte HP! Looking at the new NXT cabs. I play Dingwall basses, but that Spector is sweet! I like your reviews, man!
Coz plenty of people these days play in an alternate tuning - not everyone is in E standard. Also it shows off the focus and sustain when playing in a drop tuning, if it has the heft in drop-D then it'll be just as superb in E.

Hey, Tony Levin plays a Stingray that was seriously singed in a fire! Don’t let that Spector go to waste
Damn, that thing is certainly beautiful! Legendary bass maker🔥
Great review, really showed the tonal capability of the instrument. And the sound - maybe the best sound I've ever heard from any bass
Now that was a great review and great playing. Thank you. More of this guy.

Nice one Dan :D Just bought one of these in Violet Fade, exceptional. Your review has helped me a lot. Andy
Haha, you wont cost me money this time, i don’t have enough. Shame. Lovely bass and great review as always.
Beautiful bass, gotta get one!
Fantastic review! Well recorded, too.
Ahh, Yes. I'll take 1 of these pristine looking basses !!!
Lovely bass , low action , very percussive and a lovely growl . I would love to try a 5 string having a euro 4 , but I can't find many in the UK
The reverse P makes that growl on the E and A strings.
superb review, I have the violet fade version, superb bass.
Do you still own the violet fade version? I'm looking into the 5 string Euro LT in that color as my next bass
@@thefrator5275did you buy bass i am looking same now any review?
I must have one

That’s the reason why I don’t play my Warwick much. I love the Spector sound but feel much more comfortable on a fender.

Sweet!
These basses are really as great as stuff like wal’s and alembic’s which cost a LOT more.
How would this bass compare the Euro LX?
different pickups and different pre-amp
Just ordered one... to replace my old Euro from '89
Did your come in yet and if so, how long did it take?
I ordered a blue one end of December. I’m curious as to how long I will be waiting

Anyone know what strings are on this LT?

$2600 usd from from what I've seen?
Yep 2599 and 2699 for the 5 string.
OH F- fudge.
It's quite a fantastic sounding instrument, though.
Why would you do a demo in alternate tuning??? 🤦♂️

This guy just played Liberation by gojira before talking

Warwick streamer better
Why?
