Yep, I have one in ultraviolet. Beautiful bass, lush roasted maple neck and classic Spector tones from the EMGs etc. To my mind they're the best all round 'value for money' Spectors you can currently buy... 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't need one but I keep going back to look! 😄 The necks do look fabulous. A pleasant handful no doubt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodinblack Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 I really wanted one of the red pulse 1s, but I never got one, and then ended up with two spectors anyway. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ead Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 I'm currently lusting after a Pulse II in Black Cherry (best Spector finish evaahhhh - along with the natural look). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mario_buoninfante Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 what is the difference between Pulse I and II series? apart from the finishing, the specs are the same, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belka Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 I am thinking of getting a Euro 5 LX and I have one question for you Spector experts out there. Can anyone tell me if the standard Euro 5 LX with the EMG soapbars and Tonepump has the option to split the coils to single coil mode? I've seen a few videos of the LX 6 where the reviewers say you can do this, but none for the 5, and I can't see any information about it on the Spector website either. Many thanks in advance.

Woodinblack Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 neither the Euro 5LX or Euro 6LX are listed as having a split coil option. I see mention of people having that put in, but not from the factory. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see mention of people having that put in, but not from the factory. EMG 40DC (5 string) and the 45DC (6 string) are not splittable pickups. Would have to change the pickups to a different model to get splits. I tried to have a look on the EMG website but for some reason my browser security is clocking it for an invalid response at the moment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe you need the Euro 5LX-TW version which has splitable coils. One like this: https://www.dv247.com/en_GB/GBP/Spector-Euro-5-LX-TW-Black-Cherry/art-BAS0003484-000 See either the TW or TWX pickups here: https://www.emg-pickupsonline.co.uk/category/bass/soap-bars/5-string-soap-bars/ Edited February 28, 2023 by cetera 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, mine has single and dual coil pull/push switch. I get a really nice crisp tone / greater clarity in single coil mode. Just checked and as @cetera said, it did indeed come loaded with EMG 40TWs.

Eldon Tyrell Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 Spector fans, here is a very nice 2003 Spector Euro in Amber. Excellent condition and a good price too. Can someone please buy it before I break my "selling is the new buying" mantra? 😉 Here is the link (not my bass and no affiliation): https://www.andybaxterbass.com/collections/bass-guitars/products/2003-spector-euro-4-amber 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was a 4 string player and lived in GB I'd buy it in a hearbeat, these don't come up often and certainly not in a package like this. Bit surprised by the TonePump, haven't seen these in such early Euros (mostly Aggie OBPs and EMG BTCs) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodinblack Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 Mine is a 2000 and had a tonepump in it. doesn't have one at the moment. If that was a 5, I would certainly be interested. It would go with the green one perfectly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit surprised by the TonePump, haven't seen these in such early Euros (mostly Aggie OBPs and EMG BTCs) "buying is the new selling" - I like that one more than my mantra. Maybe I should give it a try 😉 Yes, you are right, solid maple wings, even more tempted now. Does it have the TonePump? I cannot see the control cavity. Maybe it has the Aguilar OBP-1 that they used between 01 and 03. The first version of the Tonepump started in 03 but I don't now if there was a transition period (i.e., they switched to the TP sometime during 03). It is a bit heavy though (4.37kg), although I am only playing sitting down anyway. Man, I am tempted 😍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
