I use Spotify quite a bit - have a £10/month subscription, it's very convenient. However anyone I really like I will send money as directly as possible via one of the various means available today like Bandcamp etc...
The Q5 is a budget model, but decent for what it is. I don't particularly like the tone of mine, or the string spacing but I think that's more my problem than one with the bass.
Does anyone want to buy a Spector?
