#Spector pro legend professional
The extremely comfortable curved body is crafted from solid maple and sports a genuine figured maple top, a three piece maple neck, a 24 fret rosewood fingerboard, and professional quality die-cast hardware. (nut, isolation with graphite lacquer, better grounding, increasing the preamp working voltage to 18 volts, better volume potentiometers.).The Legend 4 Classic offers the coveted Spector NS body design at a price that is well within the reach of all bassists. The price is a bit too high for an imperfect Korean instrument although the overall finish and sound are ok.
nor the finish!Įven the rosewood fingerboard has some defects (which I removed with abrasive paper, but it's still unacceptable!!!)Īverage but reliable machine heads (it stays in tune). It's not a great instrument when it comes to sound. I've been using it for 2 years and I'm quite satisfied. It may be right that Korean products are getting better, but they must still be customized to be perfect! That's what happens when you chooselousy resistors! The volume knob is not well-balanced: the first third of the way produces strong volume variations but beyond that the volume doesn't change anymore. The electronics are good but once you open it you'll see that the work was done very fast: wood chips, bad compartment isolation, no isolation in the pickup cavities !.īut the bass guitar sounds good and even better after some customization! The preamp allows you to make important sound variations thanks to its active 3-band EMG EQ. Slapping and fast walking parts sound very good. Very good bass guitar for modern playing. Since the sound is not very round, the 3-band EMG EQ is a good and effective solution. The low-end is good, highs are brilliant, and the mids are a bit hollow. Very modern sound: wide, sharp and brilliant. Good overall quality except for the electronics and the mechanical parts.Įasy upper frets access thanks to the large cutaway, like on a Warwick Streamer, which was also designed by Ned Steinberger.Įxcellent ergonomics and finish (mine has a turquoise flamed finish). (I replaced it with an adjustable brass nut). Typical Spector carved body shape using 3-ply limewood. Rather narrow 3-ply maple neck with dual setting (concave/convex) rosewood fingerboard, average-quality frets, 5-point bolt-on neck. Strange but effective settings: 2 x volume and 3-band EQ with dual control (down/lows and up/highs). A bit disconcerting in the beginning and in the end it turns out to be nothing exceptional! Don't expect the same quality as an instrument made in Europe or the US.Ģ4 frets, Precision-like neck pickup and Jazz-Bass-like bridge pickup from EMG (passive HZ).ĩ-volt active electronics with EMG B30 EQ (the 3-band EQ also works with 18 volts, thanks to a modification I did by myself). The finish is ok except for some details.
