    the fact that he mentioned mike starr makes the spector bass legendary

      For sure! I don't think that sounded close to Mike Starr's tone w the Haz though. It sounded more like a slight fuzz effect.

  • @nj1255

    I've never liked the EMG guitar pickups (81, 85, 57 and 66 - their more passive sounding pickups are okay), but their bass pickups sound great. Active pickups in guitars usually sound too perfect, you don't get that highly coloured and very uneven frequency response that we've have come to love, but that very even and perfect response suites basses much better. You'll never get that vintage vibe you can get with a P or jazz ofc, but the versatility you can get out of them is incredible.

  • @paulus3317

    I've had this bass for over a year now and am overall pleased with it but not entirely. The tone is huge and sits really well in the mix. The sustain on this thing is brilliant; the roasted neck makes a difference. It's also much lighter than my other basses and is comfortable to play for long rehearsals. The cons would be that the saddles on the bridge are not fixed and will fall off if you don't change the strings one-by-one. The plate for the battery has to be removed with screws and this wouldn't be an issue if the battery did not drain so fast. Even when the instrument isn't plugged in, the battery drains. On the occasion that I forget to remove it, the battery dies within 2 weeks. Also, I've noticed some considerable wear on the frets. I expect more from an instrument that cost around £1000. It sounds great but leaves a lot to be desired.

    @markyates8399 2 роки тому +4

    Wonderful demo Ian. These basses have a real gorgeous clarity to their sound. I have the first gen 5 string model which sounds pretty much the same as this one. The EMG pickups are particularly impressive, powerful, punchy and hi fi.

      Planning on pre-ordering this exact model Scott. Have you received it? Also, does the model you ordered come with a separate battery cavity? (the one that Ian demos here doesn't). And separate volume knobs or a master volume for the pickups. I keep seeing varying specs of this model everywhere.
