NBD - Spector Euro 5LX **UPDATE**

Recommended Posts

  • Machines changed the title to NBD - Spector Euro 5LX **UPDATE**

So after a few months with the Euro 4, I decided I would actually be happier with a Euro 5 that looks the same. My (new) band requires a 5 but really liked the feel and sound of the Euro 4. In the meantime, I actually bought a Dingwall D-Roc 5 and was going to just trade in the Euro to balance the books.

 

This was an eBay purchase, but it was very very close to BassDirect and the journey killed 2 birds with one stone. This is a 2007 model and the TonePump (pre trim pot) was a bit of a surprise compared to the newer model I had before. It's manageable with delicate volume control use however, and does what I wanted for that sound. I managed to break a pot expanding the shaft, but a new one is on the way. It has a couple of minor dings but all very good for 15 years old. Truss rod was slack and action high, but all sorted easily.

 

So that's 2 unplanned basses in the last 2 weeks 😳.

Gorgeous! Just the Euro 5 I'm after (other than a green one) 😉
