StevieD_FenderP2009 Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Was on the spector site earlier on and happened to come (in more ways than one) over this piece of pure filth! [attachment=69080:NS_5XL_BEM_Front.png] That above is a Spector NS 5XL BEM. Body Finish: trans peacock blue Fretboard: Birsdeye maple Inlays: Abablone crowns Neck construction: 3-piece maple, graphite reinforced Neck type: neck-thru Frets: 24 fret Body construction: solid AAAA maple Hardware Colour: gold (black optional and my preference) Bridge: Spector USA soild brass locking bridge Bridge hex size: 2mm Tuners: gotoh GB7 Strap buttons: schaller straplocks Electronics Tone circuit: Spector 18-volt USA tone circuit Curcuit: 18-volt cctive Bridge pickup: EMG 40DC Neck pickups: EMG 40DC Pickup type: active If money were no object I'd be straight on the phone to Spector about buying one of these, but considering the price tag is close to £6500, I don't think I'll be buying it any time soon. Still, worth discussing so go...! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schnozzalee Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Carribean sea blue, it wouldn't have suited a matching headstock. I don't like the EMG's having the screws in the centre of the pickup, thats where I rest my thumb, no matter since its a five - i'd rest on the B string. I'd like an active/passive bypass switch for the electronics, they also say that spectors have little mid-range presence but thats just what i've heard, never tried one. I've always loved the tone Alice in Chains, Ian Hill and Dave La Rue have got out their Spectors but for me they get trumped by the dull funky MECs of a Warwick. Warwicks however more often than not look pants in comparison to a Spector IMO. ...I've just monged out so I think its past my bedtime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
