barrycreed Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ead Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlasmaZombies Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrycreed Posted May 29, 2020 Author Share Posted May 29, 2020 I think the legend standard is light? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ead Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 None of my Spectors have been more than 9lbs in weight, but of course it depends upon personal preference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
