The Spector Legend 4 Standard Tobacco Sunburst offers the defining appointments of the coveted electric basses from Stuart Spector's
Accordingly, the ergonomically designed ash body hugs the player for a robust playing position, while the five-bolt maple padouk neck features a comfortable profile with 39.9mm nut width for smooth implementation of classic and modern playing techniques. A beautiful figured maple top also provides the appropriate noble bass look.
Combined with the traditional 34" scale length (864 mm), the PJ setup of
This came with a reverse P pickup, like the higher end Spectors. It has really nice flame, the best I've ever seen. Curved top and back too, really adds to the look + ergonomics. The fret ends were slightly sharp, but some light sanding fixed that. The tuners are solid, really smooth and easy to tune (best out of all my guitars and basses). Also holds tune well. Nice Spector logos on each tuner.
The sound is great. You really get the Spector sound, no compromises. The preamp and EQ are really good, I can dial everything in easily, and it hits the right frequency bands.
It's nice and light, I really love the shape of Spectors, and the balance is spot on. I can sit this on my lap, with no hands, and it just sits there. Zero neck dive.
The back of the neck looks nice, feels like marble, ultra smooth. Comfortable rounded neck profile. The string spacing is great for slap and fingerstyle (17.8mm bridge, P bass nut width). The strings are high above the body, which is perfect for slap. My Jazz bass feels claustrophobic compared to this.
And the bridge... I love the quick release. No more threading strings, you just drop each string onto the bridge and done. Intonation is easy.
I really can't fault this bass. Every aspect of it has surprised me, and I'll never go back!
