Hello, newbie to the forum here
I use a Spector Q4 Pro (Korean made) as my main bass at the moment and I absolutely love it. I'm not a professional bassist by any stretch of the imagination, but I tend to play heavier rock styles, and I struggled a bit with the jazz bass I had previously, possibly due to the much thinner neck and although I loved the shape and feel, it really felt like I couldn't thrash away on it, especially in a lower tuning, as it just felt 'floppy'. The Spector is much better in that respect; maybe the combination of a thicker neck and a much sturdier bridge helps, and the EMGs give it a decent punch too.
