zbass1976 Posted July 6, 2019 Posted July 6, 2019 I am looking at a Spector Legend 5 neck thru and I'm gathering as much info as I can. With a serial number, can I figure out what year this bass was built? Thanks! Info I do have: EMG HZ pickups (2 humbucker) Active tone controls, possibly Aguilar Legend neck thru body Holoflash finish Quote
ead Posted July 6, 2019 Posted July 6, 2019 Not sure if the Spector ones have obvious year codes. Email PJ Rubal at Spector and he'll sort you out. Quote

HazBeen Posted July 6, 2019 Posted July 6, 2019 (edited) I think this is a 2004 or 2005 SSD period bass. As per the Spector Resource page. Edit: 2006-10 due to black hardware Edited July 6, 2019 by HazBeen Quote
Cosmo Valdemar Posted July 6, 2019 Posted July 6, 2019 I would hazard a guess that it isn't a Legend. 1 Quote

Edit: 2006-10 due to black hardware I thought it could've been that particular year model, too, but I didn't see the Holoflash finish as an option... Quote

I'm hoping I can talk him down some. Quote
TheGreek Posted July 8, 2019 Posted July 8, 2019 Message from PJ hello - thanks for the email. I am happy to assist with any USA Series instrument questions. older non-USA made bass info can be found at the top of this page : http://spectorbass.com/resources Czech made serial number info can be found at the top of our FAQ page : http://spectorbass.com/FAQ have a great week, PJ Quote
Bolo Posted July 8, 2019 Posted July 8, 2019 700 seems a bit steep for a Korean, although the sound and playability will probably be just fine. Quote

Bolo Posted July 9, 2019 Posted July 9, 2019 I agree, though the Czech I recently traded my SR5 for is the only reference I have. It is truly outstanding! 1 Quote
