Pow_22 Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 So to update - i managed to get the sweep/blend pot working and got a lovely beefy sound with it set slightly to the neck pup. Alas, today its back to only working on the bridge pup side and anything anti-clockwise from the centre indent gets progressively quieter until all volume is lost when fully counterclockwise. Defo needs investigation from someone much more competent than me. Could either be neck pup or pot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same goes for so many not even inducted and for some that were inducted and got nothing to do with "rock'n'roll" Morons. Sorry for being a bit edgy, I have other problems like trying to talk myself out of buying a Classic 5 and a Euro 5 LT. First world problems I know but we are on a bass forum, right? 🙂 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, this year, so far, I have bought five basses and sold 9 (plus one on sale), so, technically, I am still at -4 (-5) 😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salt on your Bass? Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 This has rapidly become bass of preference in my collection of 2. Euro5LX - My first Spector, but what an instrument. Looking forward to recording with it in a few months time. Been writing our latest album for over two years with it.

The Ian Hill neck shape is my fav due to the neck being a bit less chunky (front to back) but the nut width is 1.64'', not 1.5''. 1.5'' is the Doug Wimbish neck shape.

It’s a custom run with those specs. May not be for everyone, but a shallower neck with a 1.5” nut is spot on for me 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If yes, then they should call it the hiriam.k.hackenbacker neck shape 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
