Spector Euro vs NS

[Kiwi]

Footnote: I've asked Andy to wind a set to replace the Delano SBC's in my Shuker, plus another set for the second NS5CR and I'll be talking to him about a set to replace the Alembics in the Pentabuzz at some point as well. Would be really curious to hear a set in a Status at some point as well...if only I had the readies to pay for that Empathy 5 in the classifieds...

I've been doing some more nosing at my two Spector 5s and notice that there's some flat sawn maple in the Euro neck whereas the NS5 seems to be all quarter sawn. A minor detail but definitely a point where the value engineering of the Euro can be seen.

My NS4 is a wondeful instrument - as was the NS5XL I had which I traded to Peter. I have tried a couple of Euro's in Bassdirect but they didn't really have that 'wow' factor that the NS4 and NS5 had.

My second hand, and quite old Euro lx 4 cost about £750 as a trade deal... It's better than my Mike Lull 5 string which cost over £3000, and has since been sacked. Better than my Sandberg California £1500....sacked. On level terms with a Valenti Jazz, second hand trade deal and cost £750.. keeper, and I prefer the feel to my Wood and Tronics j4, £1600... keeper. So looking at the above, the basses I paid the least for are deffo the ones I prefer.
