Spector we have a problem

[Kiwi]

Spectors can tend to have high output in my experience because both the pickups and the preamp have their own gain stages.

I couldn't see mention of it before but...you've replaced batteries already, yes?

Yeah I did that was the first thing Alex mention.

Does anyone know by how much does the trim pot cut? I've emailed Spector and they should be sending one to me soon.

Im waiting for them to reply to my email as well. Any chance you could send me the email address you've been using?

I just took the Tonepump out of my Rebop and wired it passive. Much nicer, I think.

I got an email today saying they will be sending it out and plus a wiring diagram as well.

Nice

[quote]hello -

thanks for the email. I am glad you are enjoying your Spector bass! sorry to read about the high output.

we added an internal trim pot to the TonePump circuit a couple of years ago. this change might have been after your purchase...
please check inside for a small trim pot on the TonePump circuit.

if yours is the version without the trim pot perhaps we can get one to you from our Czech shop and you could have it installed locally??

talk to you soon,

Above is the reply from Spector, it was hyper quick, their customer service is second to none. Love them.

Ok to try and answer all of the above. I've been doing that about leaving the same settings and just changing the gain accordingly, that's what I did yesterday and I came to the conclusion that I had a problem with my Spector.

As for chaging the preamp, I know it's just a tone boost and as said I was happy to have them fully rollled back so no boost was being used. And i don't have the cash to be changing preamps now.

I haven't thought about the strings issue, I'll give it ago if the trim pot doesn't work, the bass is very comfortable as it is.

Congrats GreenKing, great bass and a lovely addition to your family. Play it good health

Wow that's great customer service.
