Frequently Asked Questions
It's a more streamlined version, offering less granular control than the older Spector preamps, but still provides significant boost and tonal shaping.
Rosewood fingerboards on Spector basses typically come with a light factory finish, but I'd recommend conditioning it with a dedicated rosewood oil every few months to prevent dryness.
The Euro LX series features a slightly flatter 'D' profile compared to the traditional Spector 'C', offering a bit more room for your thumb.
