EU-5LXPOPB
Product Information:
The Euro5LX offers all of the features
that have made the Spector name famous around the globe. The
extremely comfortable, fully carved body is crafted from carved
European alder body* and is topped off with your choice of a USA
figured maple or European poplar burl top. A 3 piece maple neck runs
through the entire length of the instrument and features a 24 fret
rosewood fingerboard with Spector’s signature Crown inlays.
Outfitted with a lightweight, zinc brass alloy bridge and nut,
premium pickups from EMG & Bartolini**, and Spector’s coveted Tone
Pump active tone circuit, Euro5LX basses are equipped to hold down
the low-end on the world’s biggest stages.
New for 2016, all Spector Euro basses are available with
custom-wound Bartolini pickups. These custom, dual-coil humbucking
pickups are built specifically for Spector Euro instruments to
excellent articulation and balance. The new Bartolini pickups are
wired with 4-conductor shielded cable for coil selection and
alternative hum-cancelling wiring. The bridge pickup has a higher
output level and resonant peak for enhanced treble response, while
the neck pickup is wound for a slightly lower output to better
complement the bridge pickup.
*Euro5 Solid White & Euro4 Solid Black with Chrome Hardware feature
solid Maple bodies and are only available with EMG active pickups.
Euro5LX Trans Black Stain Matte with Black Hardware is only
available with EMG active pickups.
**Euro5LX Black Cherry, Exotic Poplar Burl Top. Natural Matte,
