zbass1976 Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 I'm looking at getting in the mid price range Spector game, and I have a chance at buying an NS2000/5 Holoflash bass for $775. There are also multiple options for the Legend series 5 strings, either standard or classic, and these are a little less expensive. I do know the NS2000/5 are neck thru, but the Legend black cherry finish basses are nice looking. Any thoughts? What would be a reasonable offer for the NS2000/5? Is that a good price as is? Would it be worth it to go with a Legend instead? I'll appreciate any help. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ead Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 I can't speak for the 5ers, but on 4-string basses I've owned both Legends and NS-94s (the series before the NS2000s). The NS-94 were built to a very high standard indeed and good as the Legends are if I had a straight choice (as in not allowed one of each) I'd reach for the NS-94. Maybe @cetera could also advise (resident Spector expert)? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cetera Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 I'd need to see a pic to know what bass you're looking at because, to my knowledge holoflash was never an option on the NS2000/4 and NS2000/5 range. I know - I tried to order a holoflash NS2000/4. Sounds to me more like a later Legend thru neck... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did find this on YouTube earlier, not sure if it is an NS, but that's what the owner in the video has called it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ahpook Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Didn't the NS2000s have 2-band EQ and the Legends 3 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defo Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 The Legends are very strong budget basses, I would recommend you try one before making any decisions 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dov65 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Can't go wrong with a Legend imo, i picked one up for 300 quid..bought it to try something else away from Fender. Gutted all the electrics, stuck new pickups & preamp in also machine heads. Or just leave it as, cost just over the 600 mark all in..it's a cracking bass, i'm even more surprised i haven't sold it on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
