Overall Rating:
I bought this bass because of how it played, which is like a wet dream, but the sound was horrible. I traded it in for a Washburn T25 which I like immensely. I would only recommend this bass if you wish to play metal and metal only.
Model Year: 2001
Price: $650.00
Where Obtained: Alvis Music and Sound, Vincennes, Indiana
A bass coming from the professional series (Think Q4s and Q5s) with a maple neck-thru body, a 24 fret neck with a rosewood fretboard, and holofoil finish. The holofoil finish reminds one of a holographic baseball card and reflects light differently depending on the position. It's a four stringer.
The action on this bass must be set high or you get a lot of annoying fretbuzz. The neck is a major plus though. It's super thin and super easy to play. I enjoyed playing it more than any other bass I have ever played.
Sound Quality:
I could not get anything resembling a thump to come from this bass. I could get an extremely trebley sound or a too-low to sound pleasing low, but nothing in between. To get the best sound, I had to thrash on it with a pick. This is a metal-head bass and nothing more. All in all, I thought the sound sucked compared to my other spector,a Q4.
Durability:
I felt it was too light to be durable, so I treated it with the care that one should give to a baby; to tell you the truth, it was annoying. By the time I was done with it, I only had it a month, There was already a dead fret. I also had to tune it every day, and the temperature change from the short distance it traveled in my car would put it out of tune.
