    I can't speak for the 5ers, but on 4-string basses I've owned both Legends and NS-94s (the series before the NS2000s). The NS-94 were built to a very high standard indeed and good as the Legends are if I had a straight choice (as in not allowed one of each) I'd reach for the NS-94. Maybe @cetera could also advise (resident Spector expert)?

    Not sure if the Spector ones have obvious year codes. Email PJ Rubal at Spector and he'll sort you out.

    These are great basses. I bought the one in the original advert and played and gigged it for a few years.

    Just picked up an SBMM SB14 that has been modded with an SD Alnico pickup and an East MMSR4 3-band preamp for a very decent price. Hopefully this will do the trick nicely. Seriously thinking of making it into a budget Old Smoothie with a bit of routing. Might be an interesting project.

    I've just taken a bit of a punt on a Bacchus Woodline Classic P bass and I have to say that it's tremendous. Slightly smaller body than a Fender, so lighter and beautifully made (in Japan). For the avoidance of doubt Bacchus on the left and '66P on the right My phone has done weird things with the 3TSB both look miles better than the pics.

    How does Rosewood work as a neck material; is it stable for example?

    Burn him for he is a witch.

    That's a very disappointing attitude and one that I feel unable to endorse (and have zero chance of imitating)

    Yup, top bananas.

    In general I'd say tort, but that particular P/G isn't really doing it for me, sorry Maybe somrthing a bit darker?
  14. ead
    Yeah, white pearl on black for a Geddy look?

    Isn't the Nate Mendel P in this category?
  16. ead
    Yeah, sorry Got mine for considerably less than that but it was still a 4 digit number starting with a 1.

    Go with your heart. If you gig a lot nobody will be able to tell the difference in any case or maybe

    OK I have a few more P-type basses, only one of which is a Fender, and thinking about it they all have different strings on. 1. 1966 Fender - Fender 7150L Pure Nickel strings, they are a few years old now and mellowing nicely 2. Bacchus Woodline Classic P - D'Addario EXL170BTs 3. ACG Finn P (32" scale) - D'Addario ETB92M black tapewounds 4. Spector Euro LE4 1977 - D'Addario nickels, lighter set than on the Bacchus I like them all for different reasons but I do stick the EXL170BTs on pretty much all my other fretted basses so I guess they are my favourites.
  19. ead
    To the nearest decimal place that's 32" scale so bang on message @eude

    The solution to your dilemma There's one on here for sale.
  21. ead
    Only about 50 of these were made. Mine is going nowhere!

    NBD the Euro 4LE 1979 has landed. Here are the happy couple.

    I've not personally tried this variety, but all my basses with an on-board preamp have an East unit fitted (one exception of course) and they are universally excellent.
  24. ead
    For that style of bass I might consider one of the John East Stingray replacement preamps: https://www.east-uk.com/index.php/bass/mmsr.html They can be supplied without the plate for your type of arrangement.

    It's pre-loved about 12 years old I think.
