Machines Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 (edited) This wasn't a planned purchase at all, saw it pop up - dribbled, worked out what I could sell and clicked order from Andertons 2nd hand section. Looks like a 2017 build, absolutely mint condition. I had a similar 2017 Euro 6LX for about 3 weeks I found in GuitarGuitar Birmingham 2 years ago, but had to sell at short notice due to life events (didn't lose any money at least). Having bought and sold quite a lot in that time, I always wanted it back but certainly didn't need a 6 string (Yamaha RBXJM2 covers that). So this popped up on my daily browse, I sent the link to my GAS Enablement Buddy (@AndyTravis) who agreed it should be procured immediately. No setup required, strings should be OK too - had about 30 mins on it so far, and it's great (obviously). Probably going to have to sell 2-3 to pay for it, but quality > quantity. Especially as this seems quite versatile. Edited April 11, 2022 by Machines 29 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White Cloud Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Corker! Similar to mine... The only non-handmade basses that I've found that look, feel and touch handmade. Congratulations. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grahambythesea Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Superb. Those builders in the Czech Republic certainly know a thing or two about building instruments. Makes me regret selling my, much humbler, less pretty, Rebop. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Machines Posted January 5, 2022 Author Share Posted January 5, 2022 Had a good bonding session with it tonight. Tweaked the tonepump so it doesn't overload my ears and now it's perfect. Never had a reverse PJ setup before but I like it a lot. Hopefully have a rehearsal in the next week or two, however I have a Spidey sense the band is about to fold (radio silence on that chat). Ah well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnDaBass Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Now that IS a New Years gift of a purchase. What a fantastic example of fine Spector basses. Congratulations. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulhauser Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Congratulations! Very nice specimen 🙂 I used to have one just like this back in the day, I think around 2008 or so. Similar poplar burl top but with EMG PJ, not Aggies. Can't find a pic of it but same model, same look. I loved it, I bought it when the Spector bug really bitten me but unfortunately couldn't use it much as most of the time I needed my 5 string Spector for the gigs so reluctantly I let it go. Seeing yours reminds me of that bass and the crisp, very defined sound it had. Fortunately though during the years I have collected a great selection of Spectors so I can't say I miss it but still, great memories. Enjoy it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah well. False alarm. Had a practice on Weds and it was superb. Warm P bass sounds aren't happening with the Euro, but getting lost in the mix is definitely not a risk factor.

I had my first band practice with my new Euro 4LX, last week,and you're right! cut through beautifully,and has a really bright modern tone, but with plenty of depth. My band mates loved it, and out keyboard player (who is also a great Bassist) now wants one 😂 It doesn't do warm P tones though,so brought a P as well 😁 Edited January 18, 2022 by lee650 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cetera Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Turn J pickup off, boost bass slightly, pull back on treble and play over the p pickup. Voila....! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's as close as I could get, but it's still got plenty of presence. I think it may be bolt on vs neck through, different body woods, active EQ etc. Very different sound.
