Hey guys,
I am very seriously considering buying a Spector legend standard 4 (2019 model) and I am in need of some first-hand information about this bass. There isn't a single brick-and-mortar (or even online, for that matters) shop that caries Spector basses in my whole eastern European country so I have to rely on the internet to know what to expect before I order it online.
I have questions, of course, but any information/experience about this model interests me, really, so don't hesitate to let me know whatever you feel relevant.
1) How is the fit and finish on your bass?
2) How are the neck, frets, and fret ends?
3) How are the active electronics? Any buzzes or hums, scratchy pots?
4) How are the pickups? Any hums or buzzes? Imbalance? Muddiness?
5) How heavy is your bass?
5) What kind of customizations did/will you make to your bass?
The search for a decent P/J with a light body and modern feel made me stop on this beauty. I'm mostly interested in achieving a decent/credible P-bass sound, from thumpy notes to growly riffs, I'll probably just use the J pickup for some added definition depending on the need. I'll use either Chromes or cobalt flats on it and since I'm not much of an active electronics enthusiast on bass, I'm considering switching to an EMG Geezer Butler P/J set, so any information from people who made that change to their bass particularly interests me.
Thanks in advance for any help, guys.
