Frequently Asked Questions
The Legacy preamp offers a wider frequency range and more aggressive distortion capabilities than some older Spector preamps, appealing to a more modern sound.
The 20.8mm - 23.6mm neck profile is relatively slim, but the 41.7mm nut width might feel wider than some basses, requiring a bit of adjustment for smaller hands.
While visually stunning, abalone inlays are inherently somewhat delicate; careful handling and proper storage will help prevent chipping or damage over time.
