 If the Haz pre is so integral to the sound, I don't know why Spector don't just fit it to the Euro basses and charge another hundred quid or whatever extra it would cost for the genuine article.

 

Because then noone would spend stupid money on a US custom shop one

I had suspected that might be something to do with it. 🙂

I would be very interested to know if it's  easy to get a low action with these Euro CST NS2's, and  similar Spector basses.

 

It's a long time since I had a neck-thru bass, and obviously shimming isn't an option. Is the bridge sufficiently countersunk into the body and will the bridge saddles go down far enough? I like the strings to be low enough to buzz a bit without choking. A bass that won't adjust low enough isn't much use to me.

Neither my Euro or my Euro RST had a problem getting the strings flat on the neck if you wanted it, but then tbh, none of my neck through basses have ever had a problem with that, maybe people don't put so much effort into it on bolt on necks because they figure you can always shim it!

Oh dear - these require refinishing IMO

Agreed. Disappointing....

 

Come on, guys. It was my first attempt at sunburst and we'd had a few ciders in the spray shop before getting the sprayguns out....
