Woodinblack Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 Would be really nice if there was a 5 of those. I guess we have to wait until there is enough demand from people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy67 Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 (edited) Bought this beaut from Geoffio a few months ago, Euro 4LT violet fade, it’s no.1 bass now! Edited July 11, 2022 by andy67 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cetera Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 Just to clarify. It is the Ian Hill neck shape (1.64 nut). The info on the webpage is a poor cut and paste by Bass Direct 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodinblack Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 I see now that the dimension 5 is also in Inferno Red. If they had that colour to start with I would have probably already got one! seems USA only at the moment though 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrycreed Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 (edited) Hi guys. I am thinking of unleashing my inner Mike Inez (Alice in Chains). I've seen some good deals at the moment on the Performer 4 and the Legend 4. One is made in Indonesia, the other in Korea. The Indo one has a reverse P config, the Korean Legend one doesn't. I've seen some demos that suggest both models could do with a pickup and electronics upgrade. Apart from the finishes, any suggestions of one v the other?

I'm fairly new to Spector basses myself but I do own a Euro LT4 with the Bartolini/Darkglass combination and I absolutely adore the bass and tone from it. The deals on the performer and legend look ideal. May be worth saving for a little longer and picking up a used Euro/Rebop/Eurobolt which may suit you better?

barrycreed Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Thanks folks. It's the PJ config I would be looking at though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cetera Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 I'd check out the new Pulse II. Fantastic value for money, especially if you upgrade the TP Jr to a full TP or EMG BTS. Next one up from that (without heading into the fantastic Euro territory) is the Ethos which is also excellent. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does your Pulse II have the Junior TP in still or have you swapped it out and what do you think of the bass? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounded great but I felt like I just needed a bit more low mid oomph/heft and wanted to pull it into line with some of my other Spectors so I upgraded it to full TP. I love the bass. The roasted maple satin neck is VERY playable and the bass feels and sounds great. Decent price point on these too.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a red flamed Euro LT4 too, Barts and Darkglass circuit. I think one of the selling points is that it's got a chambered body so it's a bit lighter. I like it, but I don't use it at all. If you're interested check the for sale ads. Hard case! Drop-D tuner! Dunlop Straploks! Minty fresh! What what!

Eldon Tyrell Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Spector fans! Great to see action here again 🙂 Last month, I got the Japan-only Euro 4 LX Ras Layer in the cool twilight amber finish. It is Layer's (see last photo) signature bass (bassist and singer in the Japanese rock band Raise a Suilen (RAS)). It comes with the Darkglass Tone Capsule and a RAS branded semi-hard case (plus COA and a fretboard protector (see photos below)). Great bass but it has the Euro typical neck shape, which is a bit too chunky for my taste. I prefer the (Ian Hill) thin neck specs. Should have asked the Japanese retailer to take measurements. Well, lesson learned. I thought of keeping it as a collector's item but now have my eyes on some other basses. So, if someone wants to add it to his or collection, then please send me a PM. Cheers. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodinblack Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 Apart from the limited number of strings, that is a really nice looking finish on that bass (and the case is rather good too). I presume that is the.. signitor? artist in the photo? looks different to her drawing. I presume the fretboard protector is just a shipping thing, I can't imagine using it again!

The first photo shows the fictional character Layer as portraited in the anime and video games. The last photo shows Layer as represented in the live band (portrayed by the artist Raychell). Here is a clip of RAS. They definitely have a lot of fans in Japan 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
