I chose this over a Warwick because I already had the Neck-thru version of the Q5, and I like the Spector Sound. I'd definitely get another Q5 if it needed replacing, or upgrade to a European or US model. Spector hit another home run with this axe!!!

A bit thicker neck than my neck thru, but still quite enjoyable to play!
I use an SWR Workingman's 4004 rig (4004 head, 2x10T, and 1x15T cabs) and a Digitech BP200 Modelling Bass Processor. This bass is perfect for a diverse range of styles. There's a bit of noise when the high end is cranked, but other than that, it sounds great. Nice deep low end for live applications.
I've adjusted the action and intonation at the time of purchase almost a month agao, so far, so good! It seems pretty durable, tuning doesn't slip, pretty dependable
