excellent demo on a killer bass, the punch is insane, I love it. your funk in the 11th minute is really sweet.
I just had to share that I watched this video in January and purchased a Legend 4 classic a few weeks later. Thank you so much for this video. It compelled me to find my favorite bass from the local shop. I brought it to a jam session with some VASTLY more experienced musicians and everyone loved it.
Man thanks so much for the encouraging feedback. So happy it’s worked out for you. God bless.
Bird syncopates flawlessly!
I've got a legend 4, had it for 18 years I think. Different than this with EMG-HZ pups.
It was my first good bass and made me a better player in short order. Great neck for my left hand, lighter than the previous knock off I had, sounds phenomenal. Got it new for less than $600CAD.
Sidebar: I took a close look at a much more expensive Spector later. Can't recall the model. But it seemed that my Legend had a noticeably better fit and finish than that expensive one. Maybe I'm just trying to justify my cheapness😆
So I got this model about a year ago and I love this bass. Im a for personal enjoyment player but it feels and sounds great and the price is also fantastic.
As to your comments on the ability to do some maintainace on the tuning keys heres a little story. In december our house got hit by a tornado and water had gotten onto my bass, two or the tuning keys got wet and by the time we were settled enough that I could play again they were getting ceased up. By being able to unscrew and get to the cogs I was easily about to clean a bit and effectively relubricate the workings. Back to smooth easy mobility and they are still completely reliable.
I grew up in upstate New York and and bud of mine actually works for Spector now, Im glad to finally own one and it even as their entry level bass its well crafted, Im super happy.
Ok, on a side note, can we take a moment to appreciate his bird getting into the groove on his shoulder as he's playing? that's the cutest thing I've ever seen!
I love Spector basses! I wanted a NS-2 back in the early 90's but could afford one so I bought a NS-2B made in Korea if I remember correctly for about $769 gig bag included... Memories! Thanks for your demo/review Rumblin Man and God bless you and your family!
Same unto you brother. Always a blessing and encouragement to hear from you.
Great review and demo!! Thanks
God bless!
I love how the Spectors sound. I first found out about them from Billy Sherwood (current bass player of Yes and a longtime progressive rock producer). I've thought about getting another five-string in the future and Spector is one of the brands I've got my eye on.
Definitely a cool idea!!!!
They don't sound like, the sound is thru multiple effects😉
Great review! I just felt in love with that bass, today i will tray it at my local shopping here in Italy!
Great job bro!
Thanks so much!!
Fantastic review Rumblin Man,,I have the passive spector,,excactly same set up..it's a dream to play,,as always great playing!
Thanks brother!
Wow wtf I watched it was like this deserves a like great video quality and playing! But then i saw 7k subs this cant be right u deserve way more honestly keep doing what ur doing pls awesome content loved the review and demos and yes what a killer bass looks and sound spot on for me i was looking for a second bass and couldnt decide between a warwick and fender but i think i found the one these spectors are amazing will try one in my store anyway have a great day and gl on ur journey hope to see u soon with more amazing content!
Thank you very much for the kind words! It’s very encouraging.
I just realised your parrot is on your arm. So cool.
Thank you, haha! He’s a good boy.
Great review. It'd be awesome if you could cover the Hagstrom Super Swede 4 string bass.
Great review. The fretless version of this is on my radar for when I'm in the market.
Awesome!
Haven't seen a fretless legend tbh the only fretless I've seen was the spectorcore a couple rebops and of course usa made basses I would love to see it though.
Nice review!
Thanks so much!
Great value this bass.
I was considering it but took the decision to refurbish my 1980s Nanyo Bass Collection 300 series by dropping in a Glockenklang. Nice review, very concise.
Thank you. Thanks super cool!!!
Sounds great man. Such a versatile bass! Awesome review. 🔥
Thanks my bro!!! Spector’s are so cool.
@@RumblinMan definitely on my list!
I worked in a rehearsal space and a kid had his spector in the office to sell it. Bubinga body pj pick ups 4 band stacked tone knobs gold hardware i played it cause i was bored then i bought ir. Then i bought 2 more a 4 and a 5 string with double humbuckers. I love em all
Awesome demo. Yeah if ya got a higher end, like a Spector euro,you’re going to find more options in the tone pump department.
The Tone Pump Jr actually has 12db of boost and cut. But I agree, a notch would be better.
The Tone Pump Jr is different from the Tone Pump that the TP has a trim pot on the preamp itself to vary the output.
Johnny April of Staind runs his Legend with everything wide open, so the two of you like that setting best. Lol
Glad I found your channel! And yes I subscribed.
And the parrot rocking out was fantastic!
Thanks so much!
Such a cool bass! I've got the 6 string in walnut burl and it's sick!
that's awesome dude!!! Would love to try a 6 string.
@@RumblinMan 6 strings are great, their necks are colossal though!
Excellent review. Concise & good information. Loved the slap! I have the 5 string Legend Classic with a quilted maple top & I love the thing. So much so that I ordered the 4 string version with a walnut burl top & cannot wait for it to arrive! I did have a chance to try out a few Standards & was not impressed with them. My guitarist in my band made the observation that they did not punch through the mix well. The Classic however, punches right through. Thanks again & great review.
Thanks so much. God bless you.
@@RumblinMan you are quite welcome. Bless you as well my friend.
What's so different between the standard and classic? The demo units were probably bad or something. I don't see why the classic would cut better than the standard.
Tone pump jr and tone pump are both -12 db bass -4treble no center detent if I'm not mistaken then are both made by another company based in the czech republic for spector. Love my spectors my spector family consists of a older spector q4 pro (older model slab body 2 emg 35hz humbuckers originally had a emg bts 2 band pre amp now has a 18 volt darkglass tone capsule and gotoh dual battery box and a hipshot gb7 extender) , 2007 Rebop 5 dlx ex (zebrawood) came with emg 40hz and non trim tone pump (now has emg bqc 3 band) 2019/early 2020 Spector Euro 5lt violet burst matching headstock ash wings (not alder ) emg 40dc (swapped out for 40dcx) and spector tone pump. Honestly I pick up my old q4 more then my euro 5lt and Rebop 5dlx.
Good review man.. also god bless you and happy new year man.
You are correct on the Tone Pump. Made by the same company that builds the Haz preamp
@@johnwilkerson1535 Petr michalik makes Haz Lab preamps?
Yes sir
Compliments bro. You are, simple, efficent, an direct. I will listen all of your videos. I have Spector Euro 4 tld signature of 90's and is a jewel of bass guitar. Respect and happy new year Bro \m/
That you very much for the kind words. Means a lot. God bless.
That you very much for the kind words. Means a lot. God bless.
@@RumblinMan God bless you too . Stay hungry for music!
Great review! Got a Spector Legend 5…..12 years ago and still has that brand new bass feel to me! Seeing and hearing this video has made me realize how much I need the Spector Legend 4.
Love the channel and your ideas On what this channel is about !!!
Cheers 🍻
Thanks Patrick! That’s a major encouragement. God bless.
Thanks, Link says not available maybe find another link for viewers :)
Bad ass bass ,the colors cool too
I haven't heard the best things about the Performer series, so was really curious how the Legend series is in terms of build quality, QC and fretwork. I'm looking to upgrade and a black cherry Legend 5 is on my shortlist.
I have a 5 String with a humbucker near the bridge, and a jazz pickup near the neck. Really well made, never goes out of tune. Nice punchy tone, love this bass.
That sounds awesome!
Legend custom? Emg b30 preamp? (3band) those are good basses
@@Jihadbearzwithgunz
They are fantastic basses, and I love the B30. Still have one Spector with it.
Unfortunately they haven't used them since about 2010 or so. The BQC is similar, with even more midrange control. I have one for my other Legend, just haven't had it installed yet
@@johnwilkerson1535 if I remember right the b30 has more boost then the bqc(+-10) like the bts (+-12)
BTW, that is an original 2004 Legend. Only year they used that pup configuration
Such a good bass, especially for £600. I've got the walnut burl 🤟
This might be at stupid question: If the battery runs out (or you take it out) will the bass still be able to work as a completely passive instrument?
I had Spector on the brain , real sexy bass . When it came down to it Spector lost to the Schecter studio 4 it felt so right in my hands .
I subscribed once I saw the bird 🐦 more bird please.
Haha! I’ll make sure to include him in more videos.
Hey there can I ask what strings you're using. I have a Spector Legend 4 and ever since I bought new strings it doesn't sound as good! HELP! Yours sounds exactly like mine did with its original strings.
I’m actually not sure what strings were on it, as the bass was borrowed. They may have been the original strings.
Dan, I just bought a black Spector five string today. Plays very easily and well! Now, what would such a model like that with two humbuckers be called? Is it a legend?
Congrats, Mike! I’m not sure what model that would be. I bet it rocks!!!
Congrats, Mike! I’m not sure what model that would be. I bet it rocks!!!
Sure does. Thanks.
How does it feel compared to the Stillleto? Thats literally the other guitar I'm looking at. I love the feel of the Stillleto.
Similar! But the Stilleto is one of a kind.
Do you believe this bass could achieve a tone similar to Rex Brown/Pantera tone with an Ampeg Ba110?
Not really.....try it with a sans amp bass pedal and a Moorley bass wah and maybe......don’t forget the humbucker pickups
Nice review!
Would be nice to hear the bass in the mix.
How would you say this compares to sire? Similar priced? Im looking to buy my first bass. (Guitarist for 30 yrs. Just taking up bass) appreciate your opinion
It might be built a little better than Sire, but I do love Sire.
Really thinking of buying this bass. Was that bird jammin?
Weight?
3,6 kg
Can you weight it please? Thank you, appreciating your videos since long time 🤘
Thanks so much for the support. Sadly I can’t weigh the bass because I had borrowed it for the review.
8.8 pounds. I just weighed both of mine (a 2004 and 2011)
@@johnwilkerson1535 that's good
Was it light??
I don’t remember
Would this have a TOOL bass tone
You could certainly achieve it.
Dude, your parrot was getting down!
You wore the same coulour shirt as your bird.
I try to match him when I can! 😂
Sorry man.
I really like your channel.
But i definitely won't check out your nut sauce!!!
Hahahaha!
