Yeah! Spector always nails it with their topwoods! Thanks for stopping by and watching.

My dream bass for a while has been a Spector like the one in the video! 5 string but with the 4 string PJ pickup layout, what a classic sound :)

You make great with great playing. If you were able to gt access to all different makes of basses and compared them, you'd be a constant watch for me. Your don't do anything annoying or click-baity, just pure content. Keep up the good work!

​@@gsimongearthe comparison was something I expected. As being both a Warwick and Spector fan for years. I find there are things I can still learn about both. So glad of that too. It would be near impossible to choose one over the other. I think depends on situation and techniques.

Spector Tone Pump pre has an internal trim pot to dial back the gain - it comes maxed out as default which can be "a lot"

Yep! Part of me wishes you didn't have to remove the back cover to access it though.

Top class axes and lovely video. Thanks.

@@gsimongear I like your videos you have good sense of rhythm and bass frequency spectrum in general. I have the video idea for you "Are Korean Warwick basses better than Korean Spectors?" :) Kind regards Tomalyo

If Warwick and Spector could send me some Korean basses to try, I'd be glad to!!!

I love both, but the looks and punch of the Warwick puts it over the top for me, despite how cool PJ 5s are.

I can understand that! Looks make a big difference for me as well. If I like the way it looks, I'm going to play it more, even if the specs may not be "fully" ideal. Thanks for watching!

Great stuff man! Really cool to hear both and yeah, not to compare but just to show off how awesome they are in their own way!!! I exclusively play Spectors. It looks like that model you have may be all maple. The tone pump is an awesome preamp, but if you want closer to the USA models, I’d suggest dropping a HAZ preamp in it or a copy of one. Something like the SNC preamp or the LHZ preamp. Tone of those will get you closer to the classic Spector sound. 👍🏻

@@gsimongear they are my favorite basses! I have had many over the years, but now I have three. I have a USA NS-2, a USA NS-4, and a 1999 euro NS5CRFM. Love them and they are just my sound.

Wow, i found this channel a couple weeks ago. I myself am a warwick player. I was in the market for a thumb bass and watched your custom vs pro series vid, which was great. The one i have my eye on was a 2000 bolt on. I saw this video posted today and could not be happier, i am a streamer player at heart and was also looking at that identical stage 2 you played, same color and everything. Glad there is a video were could hear that bass. How do you like it? Its going to be either a german thumb 5 2000, or the stage 1 identical to this one. Im torn lol. But im talikng to the right guy though haha.

While I prefer the tone of the Thumb, recently, I've been using the Streamer & Euro more because of the lighter weight and more comfortable body shape. The Thumb is great at being a Thumb, but if you're looking for versatility in tone, and you can only get one, then I'd say Streamer. Thank you so much for commenting and checking out the channel!

There's just something about a Warwick I'm really digging wish a shop had some to test out where i live

Hey Jason! Yeah, they're something special! Admittedly, I've always had to buy my Warwicks blind. I played Rockbasses as a kid, so I think I just assumed that I'd feel comfortable with the real thing. Fortunately, I ended up liking them!

I used to own a bubinga Warwick corvette. Nothing sounds like a Warwick. It was way too heavy though. I'm all Spector now. Both are great instruments!

@gsimongear

Nice! As much as I LOVE the sound of the thumb, the weight of bubinga + wenge is a bit much for me. I've gotten spoiled with the lightweight Spector.

The Warwick sound fresh, no baked in MUFF and it can do what the Spector can: sounding deep and less dull. What about the neck dive?

@gsimongear

5 ай бұрын

The Warwick has less neck dive when strapped up, but it's denser on the leg when playing sitting down. It's the inverse for the Spector. No neck dive on either when sitting down though.

the warwick looks great, so does the spector, but I just cannot bring myself to like that thin twangy sound of the pickups, especially when it is soloed. Your musicman stingray is a whole different story. now that is a BASS! I have one too, only the newer buttercream color

bro.

I don’t like the Spector’s , sound design , body style etc..I played it well, to me it’s the WARWICK that far superior, I recently got my TRAM BUILT CORVETTE DOUBLE BUCK, it’s Amazing ! The “B” string is the most clear one I have ever played , I don’t play metal , I go from Blues to Gospel and everything in between. Can’t put it down. I also own MM STING RAY double and singe Buck, Yamaha BBNE2 (you must demo one) *Subscribed*
