    Cheers mate! Certainly interested here. How would a 2 month old, excellent condition Spector Legend 5 in Dark Cherry sound as a trade item? Excuse the bad picture as it's the only one I have to hand.

    Hi mate, playing that exact one! (Even from Bass Merchant, great guys there!). Lovely bass, sounds and feels great. Got quite a tone! Quite aggressive which even though I can tame a little, find it perhaps a touch too much for my band. Outstanding bass for the money, thoroughly recommended (even though I'm considering a trade for a SUB!)

    Hi mate, whats the B string like on these? I know 'Ray5s have a nice B (for a 34") and wonder if this is translated into the SUB range? Currently playing a Spector Legend 5 (which would appear to be perfect for a trade) and it has a B I'm very fond of! The Stingray is something that always draws me back and this could be a very good trade!

    Come along if you're in the area and fancy coming watching my new band (link in my sig). It's my first gig with this band and also with my Spector so I'm rather excited! The night is kicking off at around 8, we're on at 10.20, and anyone who comes gets a free EP! It's a couple of quid entry but it should be a great night! The New Tavern Menses Street Wigan Town Centre.

    I really can't wait for the Sterling range to come out (find out prices etc), as I'd love a Ray 35, natural! Now that's a gorgeous bass!

    Hey guys, I'm usually OK figuring out songs, but I'm having a bit of a moment and having trouble tabbing out a short section of a song called "What Are You Waiting For?" by a band called Brigade. Song here: [url="http://www.myspace.com/brigade"]www.myspace.com/brigade[/url] Everything's fine other than the pre-verse/verse (0:12 - 0:40). If anyone can help me it'd be VERY much appreciated. The song is in Drop D. Cheers, Karl.

    Very much so, used it to drive the power amp section of my Peavey combo.

    Thanks for the positive comments!

    Compressed before the Aphex.

    Headphone works very well (used it as a silent practise box), and yes it runs at the same time as the output, as you can see they have separate level controls too. I'm not very good on describing tones, but with the EQ on flat and the gain quite low, there is understandably a lot of tube 'character' there. Pushing the gain up to just before distortion yields the 'fatness' that everyone seeks, and cranking the gain even further gives you some of the smoothest overdrive you can imagine.

    [quote name='redzombie' post='390179' date='Jan 24 2009, 06:01 AM']I only had the VT1-Std-Bass, but this definitely fits the description of when I used it with my Thunderbird. Not a bad pedal for passive basses. Didn't do anything for me with my active Spector though, even after much tweaking. Yes it was a later VT1 with the I/P pad, before anyone asks.[/quote] +1! Used it (DHA) with my Spector Legend 5 and it just didn't sound right. Tried it with a friends Jazz bass and it sounded oh so sweet!

    Had this sat in its box for a month now (blasphemous, I know) but I need to sell it on. I wrote a [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=35399"]review[/url] for this baby, and I sang it's praises, but as I also mentioned, it's not quite fitting in with the band as I'd hoped. Perfect condition, only used for a couple of hours at my house and at one band practise, so this thing is mint, perfect working condition. Comes with a 12v regulated power supply (supplied by DHA), which is also a gem as it includes 8 different adaptors so could be used round the house. [b]£110 shipped[/b], after a quick sale if possible. Cheers, Karl.

    Thanks for the reply The Funk! As for the not sure about parts, do you think it seems too sudden in just the first time or both times? The second time through sounds a little more flowing (to me) and perhaps a touch more sudden/abrupt the first time. And the break, do you mean general tightness into the guitar part? Thanks again for the comments, especially the tail one Cheers, Karl

    Attached is a song called "Cry", I wanna know what you think is good, what you think is bad etc. This is off an upcoming CD from my band "Inside View" and look forward to hearing what you think. Cheers, Karl

    Hey, I ended up sticking with a 5 in the end (Spector Legend 5) but I still pine for a 6, I think possibly for my next purchase later in the year. The Spector works well for my band, so I don't think a bass I got would get gigged so much (some negative opinions from my other band members plus the audience expecting me to overplay or be amazing, of which I do neither). I've seen news (rumors) of a RockBass Corvette 6 possibly making an appearance later on in the year, puts it right up on my list (love the shape), and I think a price range of around £300-500 will be suitable, so keep the suggestions coming in. Thanks for the new responses Karl.

    WOW, I'm liking the new RockBass line. I think one could be my next purchase, RockBass Corvette 5 (or even a 6 if they do one).

    I'm another happy Tone Pump (Jnr) user. My Legend 5 is very hot for what my band plays (Pop/Rock), but I love the tone, especially through my Zoom's "tube" preamp modeler. I only have a touch of treble and bass boost on and it sounds great!

    I started off as a guitarist too, then switched to bass, so started with a pick. I quickly switched to finger style and tried mixing it up a bit. Up until recently I've been 100% finger, although at band practise last week I randomly flopped a pick out, and it really fitted some of the songs, was great fun to play again, and got a lovely sound out of my Spector!

(I don't have a rig).

    As everyone's already said, if it's a Euro, buy it now without any hesitation! I've got the Legend 5 Classic and it's really nice, but I need to get a good set up done.
  24. karlbbb
    I've had experience with both the guitars and basses, and they're a decent brand. Good for on a budget, although as Machines mentioned, their higher end models are really quite nice! The V1004DX is gorgeous (see Machine's review!).

    My first bass was a 5 string, and I didn't have any troubles. Certainly don't have any troubles going between a 4 and a 5.
