Slightly OTT post, sorry. I’ve been wondering what this would look like for ages.

But it's the only 6-string I have! It sounds great too and has sustain for days. That said, 5-strings are more my thing so when I'm toying with whether to downsize the Spector springs to mind first (through no fault of its own).

Go on then, show us the full beast!

 

If you do downsize, give me a shout! I used to have a Spector NS6XL a while back, loved it.

It’s not the best picture as it doesn’t quite capture how nice the ultra faded black is but it gives an idea.

 

 

I was very tempted by an NS6XL recently but it seemed a bit daft to make the leap when this EuroLX is so good and I play a 6-string so infrequently. I’m sure the US-made basses must be in a different league but it’s difficult to see how they may be much of an improvement.

 

Here’s the Bass Direct photo:

Honestly, they're not spectacularly different. I've owned maybe 3 Euro Spectors, all excellent instruments. The US NS6XL was a nicer bass, but not by a huge margin, and not to the extent of the price difference.

I can't quite get enough of this headstock. So very very cool.

Love the way the fingerboard overruns the 1st fret and acts as a string guide, and the knobs are just mad!

 

Lovely stuff dude.

Yep, I collect headstocks and neck fragments. It’s much cheaper than buying full basses and easier to take photos of.
