    Watching Nate's reviews is so rewarding. It's not often that you cross paths with someone that is, at once, a phenomenally good player, clear and articulate in his use of language, deeply knowledgable of instrument engineering and construction, and so very well educated in music theory. A true joy to watch, listen, and learn.

    huh. part of the reason I’m a bassist who owns a 5-string is because I’ve always just liked lower notes better, but at some point you stop being able to hear them, and on my bass you can’t really go much lower than B standard while still being able to make out the note, and I assumed that that was because of the range of human hearing. But this thing can play in G standard, and I can hear it just fine. Nice demo.

      It's a shorter multiscale closer to what Ibanez has on offer. If Warwick made a 34-37 and it wasn't $3-4k I'd probably get one. This Spector sounds like a good compromise between Warwick and Dingwall though.

    I've had this very model on order for about a month now, and probably have another month to wait until it gets here. Not that I'm thinking about it constantly or anything... It's just that I've never owned an instrument this nice, and the bass I'm upgrading hails from the "starter" side of the Ibanez Soundgear line, with noisy, clacky frets and a sloppy B string, even after visits to the bass doctor. I'm just a little excited for this upgrade :)

    Hey! Love the demo! One of the reasons why I just picked up one of these bad boys myself lol I have question though what strings do you use for this bass?

    Can you do a shootout between this and the Dingwall NG3 5 String?

    Loved the review. Impeccable playing and timing.
    Love the aesthetics.
    Loved most of the sounds... although, I felt that the active pups were a bit underwhelming. I expected more "oomph"... it's the only way I can articulate it. I preferred the passive modes better in this case.
    I currently play the Ibanez SRMS805 and love it...
    ...yet, despite the fact that I am a little put off by what I had hoped for in the active pups... I think I will start saving for this one.
    I do have a reunion coming up and I'm reforming of my old band after 28 years... this will be a beautiful touch and sonic leap
