Raj_Shredder Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 (edited) You can get EMG’s pretty much as close as you want as long as they don’t touch the strings. Due to the active design, there is very little pull on the strings from the magnets. Of course you’ll need them to be a bit lower on the low strings to balance the output.

Also the other issue is that the bridge on this one sticks out a lot more than on my other Euros because the neck is angled slightly, not flat to the body like on the others so the pickups are at a higher level. Still I can measure if you want That would be ideal Paul 👍 either from body to pickup or to underside/top of strings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I normally adjust to suit the output so as to avoid clipping, but that's about as scientific as I get. Did you get BassDirect fixed oot with your order Alain ? Was it a pulse II ?

bagsieblue Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 I dont think it makes much difference with EMG's. EMG's are much less sensitive (hardly at all in my experience) to distance from string to most other pickups. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes thanks, ended up being a full refund and no, not a Pulse II although I was sorely tempted. Still on a Spector theme and, having given up trying to find my original Legend 4 (with the 3-band preamp), I found an NOS Legend Classic in the same lovely Black Cherry finish with Bartolini P/J pickups that is light as a feather so loving that atm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like a really rare and wonderful example of a transition era NS-5CR FM in lefty version. 34” scale. If I were a lefty player it’d be mine in a heartbeat. One of my favorite Spector colors, too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grahambythesea Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 (edited) Having sold my Rebop and traded my Spectorcore I have been without a Spector for a while. But now my very generous brother has offered to give me his Coda so when he brings down in July I’ll be a Spector player again 😆 Edited May 20, 2023 by Grahambythesea Missing words 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Horse Murphy Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 I lost my Spector cherry a short while ago with this used Bantam I picked up for a good price. I thought that the combination of the body shape and where the strap pin sat on the top horn combined with the shorter scale would make the bass feel familiar to my usual Fenders and it worked a treat. The light weight (just over 7.5lbs) together with the shorter scale made gigging with it an absolute pleasure and the build quality is superb too. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 (edited) Thats lovely Nick. Dan aka @Dood did a fabulous video review of this model and I was sorely tempted Ps, sure you know this, but the original US version of the bass (NS Shorty) was made for Gary Tallent of the E Street Band.
