Killer demo as always, Patrick 😎🤘🏻🎸 these basses sound incredible. The emg pickups and darkglass tone capsule preamp is a phenomenal combination. Kinda like bartolini pickups with an Aguilar obp-3 preamp. That’s another phenomenal combo right there. Other than that, these are great sounding bass guitars.

If you like Spectors, you'll probably fall in love with Schecter as well. The first time I played a Spector, it reminded me of my Schecters. Very similar and, last I checked, the better models from both were made by WMIC in their factory in Seoul Korea. That is a very, very good bass factory.

Why would you want the 4 string multiscale to go to 37"? The whole point of multiscale is to offer scale lengths that make more sense for a given tuning. You don't need 37" for a standard E bass string.

@@justsomerandomguyman yes, but the 5 string version comes with a much tighter string spacing, so depending on application, a 5 string may not be as adequate for more aggressive tremolo thumbing or (double slapping if you will).

Before ypu buy a Spector Dimension bass, make sure to check the shops' return policy. The QC on these is actually quite bad. High frets, badly carved nut, cheap bridge hardware, cheap tuners and etc... Spector is selling a $500 bass for $2k + . The Euro line is great, and worth every penny. But the Dimension line is kinda garbage.

High Performance Series by #Spector is the best Bass I ever owned. I have a Blue & Blacc 4 String Dimension with Fluence picc ups I named Brooklyn. She is so Fly, I'll never sell her. Absolutely perfect for Metal. Her lows are like a punch in the face, hit so hard, her highs are like floating on a cloud. The Clarity. The Tone. She has settings that dial in what I need if I play with me fingers, another one that's superb for slap and tap, and the best one for a picc, I ever used, which is excellent cause I primarily use a picc for me stuff. She takes pedals like a Champion, she blends with #Ampeg flawlessly and her Battery port is the new one that allows easy and fast changing with just a flip of the cover, no removing screws needed. There's no necc dive. She holds Tune and intonation is easy, with each string getting it's own quality saddle. She's a Dream Axe come True. I still have me 1st Spector I ever purchased as well and I highly recommend #Spector Basses to anyone who takes Bass Guitar seriously. They're on a whole 'nother level. 💯🤟😊🎛
