Great video! Totally agree on the scooty puff jr. preamp. I wish they went with the full EMG kit and kaboodle (or darkglass!) for the preamp in this bass. Watch out on the Hipshot tuner upgrade, the stock Spector tuners are a smidge smaller and require some slight boring to the tuning holes for hipshots to fit. I did it on my Eurobolt and it was definitely worth it though!
Come on spector send all your basses to the bass channel the Ns ethos, the euros, the NS2 the squid bass with the dark glass preamp anyway this was badass was waiting for this since the Pantera covers oh hell yeah 🤘🤘
Nice bass. 😎🤘🏻🎸it sounds killer clean and distorted. I totally dig how it sounded with the darkglass plugin. The vintage ultra is my personal favorite.
The same thing with the tuner happened on my Ibanez when I had it like 2 months...took the ring off of my 4 string cheap bass and later got another new ring from a music store near me...didn't even charge me for it + a 3mm pick
I agree. Spector has been a turn off with me because I feel they cut too many corners for the price of their instruments. Even the $2,000 Ethos 5 I trialed had an underwhelming preamp. This bass would be a lot more attractive if they spent less money on a meme finish and instead gave us the full EMG pre amp and real tuners.
This is a great sounding bass but the fact that the tuners are so bad and the paint rubs off is a total deal breaker in a bass of this price range. They should have spent less money on a meme finish and instead given us the full EMG pre amp and decent tuners. Maybe it's just me but I feel there are a lot of misses with Spector lately (i.e. the neck divey NS Dimension with its weak B string). There's always some sort of major compromise unless you can splash for the full made in New York models.
If you were to remove the preamp and go pickups straight to jack, what would the control layout look like for you? would all the knobs serve a purpose or would there be "dummy knobs"? COnsidering this bass, love EMGs, unsure about preamp based on yours and Lobster's review. Thanks!
so, if you showcase the bass guitar why are you using the pedal? I'm interested in hearing the bass itself... without the pre-pedal to see the sound of the instrument itself... thanks
Please try the Pulse II Also. Can you do me a favor? Can you measure the distance between the front of the nut and the center of the P? And the distance between the centre of the P and the centre of the J? I need this for a PJ project. Would really appreciate it!
Hey Chris and team thanks for all the reviews and especially for this one very nice job! So NS pulse or Warwick corvette? Its almost Christmas and I gotta get myself a gift... Man am I'm torn
That depends. German Corvette or RockBass? If RockBass, skip it and get the Spector. If German, that becomes a tougher call because German-made Warwicks feel incredible!
Hi have anyone had a rebop 4 dlx pj I have the chance of buying one but heard it has neckdive and a 350 m8le round trip is a long way to go to find out thanks in advance for any help

WOW! Wasn't expecting that surprise at the end!\m/\m/\m/\m/\m/\m/ Thank you very much Chris and all the team! God this made my day! love you guys!
Glad you enjoyed and I hope you found it helpful!

Thank you for the heads up, was wondering about that upgrade if I were to buy the NS Pulse-4
Hipshots come in two sizes though. Are you saying it doesn't fit both?
I got the pulse 5 a few months back. Blown away. Going through hartke bass amp it is a monster. I'm a Spector fan now.
this is what i love about this bass it sounds like three instruments smashed together.
never would have expected metallica reggea to work but the day that never comes totally worked somehow.
Great sounding bass. Some of the sounds with a pick are very reminiscent of Juston Chancellor's Wal sound.

Funny enough, I had the choice between the Ethos and this one. I chose this one predominantly for the pickups and finish. Maybe Ethos next 🤞🏻
Best demo EVER!!!! Thanks!!!
Chris has a great ear for tone. Outstanding tone man.
Nice bass. 😎🤘🏻🎸it sounds killer clean and distorted. I totally dig how it sounded with the darkglass plugin. The vintage ultra is my personal favorite.
Lol Jamie had Young Frankenstein on in the background 🤘😆
Thank you very much. I wanted to get this buy but after this review I am not gonna.
Those plastic O rings always break. Happened to my Warwick. I ended up putting real Gotohs on.
Notification gang rise up
🙌🙌🙌
@@patrickhunter my man! I miss you 😢
This bass is so sick!!
Sounds healthy though...😅

See if you can get a Schecter Model T session. Same pickups better pre amp and cheaper.
Schecter basses are slept on way too much!

That is a nice P/J !!!

Get a Warwick and put some EMG 's in it.
I'm a little bit worried about the color's loss. How it could be possibile? It shoud be a lifetime bass...it's also Spector's motto :(
Love the YYNOT shirt
i wonder how this bass would sound with emg geezer butler pj pups

Nice shirt!! 😎
How did you have the preamp set in this demo? Completely off or maxed out?
Various places for each track.

@@TheBassChannel Thanks a lot and keep that low end work up cheers!
What is the song in the intro?
King’s Revenge - Eclipse
what is the mixer/pedal that you are using in the start of the video?
It looks like a plug-in for a Darkglass B7K Ultra
I hate the finish but it sounds great
That Brian Mikasa - Kill or Be Killed song is kick ass
You might also enjoy this then:

for what it is it sounds great. But seems like all you get is that V shape mid scoop sound. still sounds great tho!
I've thought about buying one of these, but I would have to replace the preamp because I hate their tonepump jr that thing sucks
Is it neck-heavy? Does it dive when you let go of the neck?
No, I have a Spector, it's balansed so good, no diving a neck.
Where are these made?
This model is made in Korea
Giving Chris ONE bass is some smart marketing. I mean, I just put both versions in my wishlist. Soooo 😐
Well, mid video this became mainly a video about EMG pickups for me, because the finish coming off is acceptable at absolutely no price range.
anybody heard of Cort artisan basses? your wallet will thank you
Hi have anyone had a rebop 4 dlx pj I have the chance of buying one but heard it has neckdive and a 350 m8le round trip is a long way to go to find out thanks in advance for any help
Business time!
You know when I’m down to my socks it’s time for business that’s why they call it business socks.
@@TheBassChannel 2 minutes in heaven are better than one minute in heaven.
Oh my god and it’s Wednesday! Conditions are perfect!
@@TheBassChannel this could get out of hand!
True. Let’s just sort out the recycling and end it there. It’s very important.
spector sounds punchy its strange how i know the bass sound .
Id trade my dingwall combustion for one, anyone?
If pewdiepie played bass?! 😱😱😱
