All user reviews for the Spector ReBop 5 DLX

Manufacturing in the Czech Republic under license from Spector United States

5 strings, 24 frets, Saddle sleeve with reinforced 3-ply graphite, rosewood fingerboard, 35-inch pitch (if the serious is excellent)
Ct electronics, two EMG Hz pauls countrv by active electronic house, TonePump Spector (former MODELS Rebop taient them quips a Aguilar OBP-EQUAL 1).

Level knobs, a volume knob for micro, a bass boost and a boost treble.
Note that legalization is a boost-only, whether it is more practical in mind that a traditional cut-boost, at least I never complain about it for time!

The bridge aluminum (anodized black as all the fittings) and fairly solid and also the prodigious ide to be blocked and embedded in a dcoupe in the wood of the body once blocked .

The mcaniques are not as Schallers The models Neck-Thru (small economy I think) but keep the bass gives trs long time (I have given the once in 2 weeks).

As the body of Spector, Ned Steinberger and Stuart Spector really did prowess on this one! This is the comfort with the back of the body concave (of course raises the flop) and the curved table, it is far from a drawing trs Precision or Jazz Bass is all o trs square and without much finesse (I'll make friends l: p). Anyway, she's cute face a coronation

Finish level, the European The models offer less than their big sisters finishes amricaines. I took it in natural finish, no polish makes the neck and body, it's just so you have to think huil maintain every month with lemon oil .

UTILIZATION

Ah the handle of Spector! I test a little while before buying it, and I must say that this race is at the crossroads of all that can be on the market. The handle is not as solid (or trunk) or a Precision Yamaha TRB that I tested, and it is far from the trs round profile of a Jazz Bass.

That said, it's a real highway! The action is low without curling trs, thank you to the graphite-reinforced neck! There is also not one dead on the handle, Fender should take a leaf ...
I was nervous in my whole dpart because c'tait Premire 5 string, so my fears were the width of the handle and on the pitch long (Premire the boxes are a bit hard without choper warming). As it happens, I largely prfre my old 4 string because the string spacing is more strait, requires ca prcis be more in order (which is not bad) and mdiator is the fte! In slap, I will not comment because I do not practice.

As the United States Spector, boxes 23 and 24 are on the body and dj horn infrieure ESG just to play in this area l. This is also the only default I can find the drawing of the body.

Even when small point about the balance of the bass, it tends sting a little nose, because I think the alder body (not as heavy as the Saddle). However, even if surprising really beginners, ca n'enlve anything if its jouabilit RULES strap is not too high. It requires much stalling his thumb on one of the microphones to offset the balance. Plays seated, there is no problem of stability.

Because of these last two points, I do that 8 / 10.

SOUNDS

So my style, it would plutt 70s rock and prog. For the prog, it's really trs comfortable with the grain that can make it out in a mix (think of the Chris Squire of Yes or Justin Chancellor of Tool).

Résumé for this particular sound, I would say it's a subtle trs shuffled between sitting in a low growl and the Precision of a Jazz Bass, with this I do not know what that directed me to this bass. The active legalization is truly a marvel, it provides a dynamic and prsence unparalleled without be aggressive. Same attention when the knob of low background, ca trs quickly saturate an HP ...

I think we can play sincrement address all styles with this bass without fear, because the sound palette is very large, the trs gras slappeurs for crystal clear sound crazy. For cons, the characters will always be the opposite so the Yahama is a versatile trs but without much personality. His areas of prdilection are still the same mtal, rock and jazz in gnral do not forget it! For pop, a Precision may be more appropriate.

I had tried on a SWR Workingman Paris, ca ptait the fire of God! The only bass given me the same feeling a silent Vigier Excess. At home, I'm using a Behringer 120W with an HP 12 ", I must admit it has a little trouble cashing the dynamics of this low. Ampeg Play on a good light, it must be Ecstasy!

OVERALL OPINION

Spector does this my gift of Christmas so it has not trs old. Spector is not a brand extremely well known in France, wrongly I think because it really comes out of the box.

The quality of manufacture of the European MODELS is really excellent, I have not had the opportunity to test MODELS Rebop United States but is against rev above the corresponding MODELS ens! Its original price is 1200 euros, for that price was an instrument of quality irrprochable, although suprieure to US Fender Deluxe that I found taient rush for the price. As for sound, you love it or dtest Spector, at least it does not stay indiffrent.

The only default is that they are hard to find in stores, and when to order them, it can take time (I waited 3 months). But good things can make themselves DSIR!

It took me quite a while since I ordered the DCID dbourser 1200 euros as it is not wealthy RULING not easy. But then this instrument exudes quality full-face and I know she will follow me trs long! To consume without modration then!
