It is heavy but I can lift it myself without too much effort, probably average 4x10 weight? The precision was a bitsa i put together a few years ago and swapped with bassman Sam, wish I never parted with it, was the most P sounding precision I've heard.

My latest project, I got an empty, late 70s 2x15 bassman with no drivers in, I sourced some eminence kappa 15s 400 watts 8 ohms, tolex and grill cloth, semi stripped, one afternoon and some evostik later we have this, an 800 watt, 4 ohm beast Not sure if I want to keep it or my existing 76 4x12?

[quote name='RhysP' timestamp='1344803012' post='1769386'] Depending on how old your Tonepump circuit is there should be a trim pot on the preamp that allows you to reduce the output. Spector recommend setting it at about 70% [/quote] Hmmm my circuit seems to be a sealed box gules to the side with no visible screw or hole.

A couple of issues/mods I would like to do to my otherwise very happy purchase. I bought an original euro 5 with EMGs with tone pump circuit. Vol. Vol. Bass. Treble. Firstly i would like to turn it to vol pan b&t so wiring diags would be appreciated? secondly is there a way to reduce the very hot output? Thanks Dave

[quote name='rommi' timestamp='1339419849' post='1688121'] Where the hell do you keep all of these bloody things?? Have you built them their own extension onto the side of the house or something?? [/quote] Unfortunately some of those have gone the journey earlier this year, I have a couple of new ones but down to 22. They spend their life, some on display/play duty and some in a cupboard on the landing. Must admit selling about 8 was quite cathartic and I no longer have the collecting for collecting sake mentality. Still look upon the majority as an investment and a pension of sorts which was the original reason for picking them up.

Just bought this from ChrisBass5, I really bought it to back up my Overwater 5 but I have a feeling it ma get more use [IMG]http://i519.photobucket.com/albums/u359/cd_david/Basses%20To%20View/IMG_1138.jpg[/IMG]

Just travelled to meet at Chris' house and buy his Spector Euro 5 off him. A great bloke and a lovely bass. 100% fantastic basschatter Thanks Dave

surely your experienced ears, after years of exposure to analogue and digital recordings, compressed digital media of various forms.and indepth expertise on the physics of sound and technology has given you an ability to make an assessment? We could discuss the psycho acoustic ability of the brain that enables us to hear familiar and unfamiliar sounds with potentailly, millions of variables in propogation and environment, yet still we are able to judge them accurately, but im sure youve considered that in your laughable assement of my ability to form an opinion

Watch it, listen to it on studio monitors, make reference to other basses and samples on the same media over a period of time, both known and new, formulate an opinion and then express it. and that is laughable in what way?

Is it my ears? the top end on this bass sounds so synthetic and plastic that i cant even listen to it. I really like open and articulate high frequency but this is just awful [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WFrPr_40d8"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WFrPr_40d8[/media]
