This playlist showcases the Spector Euro 4LX TW equipped with EMG 35P4 and 35J flipped (so that the J coil is away from the bridge).

The preamp's a SNC BGP-3S 3-band EQ, based on a classic Hazlab pre found in US Spectors.

Both the Euro 4 TW and the SNC preamp have been discontinued.
I've uploaded also a track with EMG DCs installed to give you an idea how dual coil soapbars sound in that particular model.

Strung with DR DDT strings.

Hi,
On this profile you’ll find sound samples mainly from Spectors but also from other basses I have - current and past. 
The demos also focus on different pickups and preamps which I did try out. Hazlabs, EMG, Aguilar, Tonepump, Darkglass, SNC and BazCustom. Everything's mine, just doing it for fun.
