andydye Posted March 19 Posted March 19 I saw this Spector Legend 4 on the website of a local guitar shop and spotted that it also had a drop tuner, 2 things that made me want to try it, turns out, despite being relatively inexpensive, it plays well, sounds well, I brought it home with me... Ā Ā Ā Apart from needing new strings (on order from Newtone) and the strap lock things removing (d'addario?!) it also needs a k'nob, there are 3 original ones and an interloper, so, I wondered whether anyone had a suitable k'nob hanging around or knew where I could source a genuine Spector one? Ā Ā Ā ...help, advice please? 1 Quote
Bassassin Posted March 19 Posted March 19 They do just look like generic cheap push-on kernobbs. Quote
Cosmo Valdemar Posted March 19 Posted March 19 (edited) That's not a Legend - it's a Q4 Pro. Killer basses! Ā Edited March 19 by Cosmo Valdemar 1 Quote

velvetkevorkian Posted March 20 Posted March 20 A forerunner of the Legend line from the early 2000s iirc? Ā I do have a Legend 6 awaiting a preamp swap which will necessitate replacing the knobs, at which point I would have some spare Spector ones, but it's been waiting on that for months now so I wouldn't like to promise anything š¬ 1 Quote

Ā I bow to your knowledge, from the searches I've been doing today the Q4 didn't have the characteristic Spector carved back, this bass also doesn't have the carved back. Ā ...and, it isn't black, or the blue in the flash pics in the op, it looks very much a forest green in daylight. Ā It IS killer, sounds and plays fantastic, I want to try more Spector basses now!!

My first Spector was the NS2000, essentially the neck through version of yours. It had the curved body too. I adored it but eventually the slim neck became a bit uncomfortable for me. They're definitely a gateway drug though - I've now owned 12 of them. Not quite at @cetera's level yet though š 1 Quote
