Spector basses.. makes me drool 24/7 :-)

Stuart Spector is one of the best luthiers there is. he is very respected about his craftswork.

@anon540 the answer is simple: Buy a "real" handmade - oh, thats closely impossible... every luthier needs machines cause the manufacture time would be so long - no one will buy this bass. On the other hand, there are luthiers who built a lot by hand. Fodera in some case but also skjold or C. Thompson. But they all use machines for the neck and the bold on... it don´t takes the quali but low down the price. Its simply your decision. A bass which is the same quali for double cost... i don´t care

spector feels and plays great the body is really smooth but the neck is a bit heavy

@mcmillansabq I'll keep it short and just say yes, I have.

@anon540 Have you ever dealt with machined parts of any kind? Ever built a wood instrument? Just because they don't show the hours of hand work doesn't mean it isn't there. CNC or not, there is an amazing amount of hand work to be done after the basic shape is cut. And yes, I've dealt with machined parts and I've hand carved and finished basses.

[anon540]

So for a handmade instrument, what part is actually handmade? Obviously the neck is the most important part to work by hand, but it doesn't look like it sees any actual attention at all. They showed a guy with some sandpaper messing around with a body, and that's about it. Brilliant.

@ Vakmere.

The BQC is very different in the sense that the TP is "boost only". The BQC is boost and cut. Granted, the TP is +18db and the BQC is +12db...... but also I like the variable midrange of the BQC.
