Spector TonePump Active Preamp with internal boost
The Euro4 LX includes a TonePump active preamp with an internal boost trimpot. This preamp employs JFET-based circuitry rather than op-amps, which yields many tube-like characteristics. When you overdrive an op-amp (something that happens at the peak of nearly every note you play), it clips and needs a moment to recover. This results in a perceptible tone loss. Like tubes, the TonePump’s JFET-based circuitry doesn’t do this. Rather, it softly distorts, producing a second harmonic that fuses seamlessly into your note. Beyond that, the first signal after the peak comes through loud and clear, with no recovery time required. The bassists here at Sweetwater are impressed with the clarity of this preamp — it makes a world of difference!
Active EMG P/J pickups are built to groove
The Spector Euro4 LX comes loaded with a pair of active EMG P/J pickups. This classic-sounding set delivers a massive array of tonal combinations. The P injects your playing with incredible warmth and low-end punch, while the J supplies you with tight mids and a dynamic yet well-defined attack. Tight, slap funk, rock, smooth Motown — the wide range of tones that these pickups exhibit is well suited for any playing style.
Spector’s Euro Series — continues a decades-long tradition of innovation
If you’ve always craved a Spector NS bass, but found them to be out of your budget, you’ll dig the Euro Series. These basses are essentially production versions of those coveted instruments, with the same sleek carved bodies as their US-made cousins. Euro Series basses were handcrafted in the Czech Republic using top-shelf tonewoods from the United States and Europe — you’ll love the natural resonance and tone of these instruments. What’s more, you get graphite-reinforced truss rods, premium pickups, and Spector’s acclaimed TonePump active preamp. The Euro Series continues Stuart Spector’s decades-long tradition of innovation.
