I've been watching from afar! Thanks for all the advice. It's a little difficult at the moment with Covid restrictions and not getting the chance to try ones out...but all advice taken onboard. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What bass(es) do you have already and what do you like/dislike about them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately they don't deliver, which rules it out. But a second hand Euro does fit the bill... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thisisswanbon Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 (edited) Spector's are great, but the ergonomics don't suit everyone. I am besotted with my rebop visually, but I can NOT get it to sit comfortably on a strap due to the smaller top horn and off centre bottom strap peg. Sandberg's are built phenomenally, but I ended up ripping all the pick ups and electronics out of mine as they just didn't cut it, their PJ pick up placement in particular creates a huge inherent mid scoop. Personally for your budget, I'd suggest a Yamaha 734A. It'll leave you with a good chunk of change, and the build quality and tonal coverage is tremendous! I pick mine up over my Sandberg and Spector every time. The build quality is comfortably up there with basses twice its cost, and it has great features like a battery indicator. Side note, I've just gotten an ibanez EHB1005ms... While the aesthetics may not be for everyone, quality, tonally and playability wise I'm blown away, and it's within your budget with change. It'd cover all the ground you need as well. Edited April 1, 2021 by thisisswanbon Spelling correction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, but there's no way you're going to get one for anywhere near the OP's budget. If you're drawn to Spector, then you're probably best holding out for one. I know someone who picked up a Euro LX 5 for £1000, so they are about. Alternatively, you can find some killer deals on Warwick Streamers. I found my Streamer LX 5 ('98 German model) for well under half your budget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
