Not Bad

I have a Euro LX6, bright, punchy, articulate. Just got an LX5 same woods. For the money this is a very good bass. Once you manage the dials and amp settings this is one bass that the audience will clearly hear in the mix. One drawback is dificulty playing subtle lines. Very powerful electronics make managing this a little tricky. Boost only knobs work very different than volume so watch out on that aspect. Replacing the circuit with one of your choice - OBP3 for example- is easy and lots of room in the control cavity to work with. This one shares time between my Ken Smith and MTD635. Nice quality here.

I own this bass and it has stood by me well. This is an awesome bass and it sounds really good. I'm aggressive with most of my playing and I play different styles of music on the fly sometimes and this bass makes it easy to be versatile. You can go from slap funk to easy listening style music and this bass will growl when its time. It has a real nice preamp on board as well. It will hang with the big expensive model basses and sound just as good if not better. One of the best for the money!!

I'm Completely Happy With Mine!

I have owned a Euro made neck-thru Spector for about two years now. (Mine is the NS5CRFM) If this bass is anything like it,(and it appears to be) then you'll love it! Great action, playability is second to none, ample tone adjustment, fit and finish are comperable to basses costing much more. I would love to compare mine to the American made Spectors costing 4 to 5 G's. (curious to see if there's any real difference in quality) Bottom line; you won't be sorry if you get this bass. Personal note: I strung mine with DR "High Beams" when I needed new strings. (Great strings for a great bass!)

great bass for experienced players

I've been playing for 15 years. My previous bass is a spector 4 string made in china. Nice bass, but this new five string is unbelievable. The action is perfect. I love playing slap bass mixed w jazz and walking bass lines. The action is perfect for my style. Neck straight. No adjustments needed. Light weight and sleek design. If you are looking for an outstanding upgrade this spector should be a serious consideration.

Incredible

Recently bought one of these, in Blue Stain finish.

It's incredible! I've always wanted one, after seeing a bassist who I respect a lot, Kasim Sulton, using one (a 90's Europe Series NS-5CR I believe). I can see why they're used by professionals!

The contoured body makes them supremely comfortable, it's beautiful to look at, and, most importantly, the playability is superb.

I've hardly put it down since I've bought it, its simply fantastic!

Highly recommended, buy one, you won't regret it.
