Spector Performer 4?

[barrycreed]

Hi all, anyone play the Spector Performer 4? The bottom of the line obviously, and I'm thinking of one, specifically to mod the pickups. Also, it would kill a few other birds with the one stone. Twouldn't be a "main bass" but would be different to a p bass. I am guessing it would be lighter than a J bass too. Anyone play one? Are they of ok quality?

Sorry can't help with that particular model, but do give some consideration to a preloved Legend too.  I has the curved body and don't cost too much either.

I purchased a Spector Performer 5 a few years ago. I sent it back within 48 hours. Build quality was fine, fit and finish seemed reasonable for a budget bass. However, I couldn't seem to get a useable sound from it, it just sounded dull and lifeless in my opinion. If I were in the market for a Spector I'd probably go up to the legend series at least. Just my 2 cents.

Thanks folks. Yes, I think I'd look at the Legend series at least.

Yes, definitely worth checking out. I once had a Legend Neck-Thru (NT), maple with bubinga top, matte finish. Looked and sounded great (Aguilar OBP 2 and Aguilar pickups). Great built quality too. Just a bit heavy and the neck was a bit too narrow for my taste. So, I sold it and bought a Euro instead.

I think the legend standard is light?

None of my Spectors have been more than 9lbs in weight, but of course it depends upon personal preference.
