Ibanez SRX 430 vs Yamaha RBX 374
- Thread starter Hate
- Start date
Arent Spector a bit on the pricey side? Although I know there's the performer series thats selling for $550 at musicark but is it worth it? If Spector Performer really have massive growly sound and have stable tuning heads for drop tunings, then I may consider buying it.
I'm still open for other options so please shoot me with your opinions

If this is gonna be your first bass, it's definitely worth it.
If this is an upgrade, I suggest you check out the Spector Legend 4 Classic. S$960, active preamp/passive pickups, made in Korea, curved body, extremely versatile. You can slap some funk and immediately play dropped tunings without even tweaking the knobs on both bass and amp. I have two Legend 4 Classics myself.
Drop by Musicark and look for me, you will not be disappointed.

I already have a bass, thinking about buying a new bass for an upgrade, but I dont want to spend alot of money on it.
The thing is, there are no videos in youtube or anywhere that demonstrates the Spector Performer 4 played with a pick. I always play with a pick to get the attack-kinda tone.
So, now, my choices are limited to 2 basses namely the Spector Performer 4 vs Ibanez SRX 430.
I'm still open for other opinions though. The Spector Legend 4 Classics is too much for me. I'll like to keep my budget arnd $500

From personal playing style, the Performer gives a very punk rock/classic hard rock kinda attack tone with a pick.

This video doesn't have any pick style, but it's in drop D, so I hope it helps a little. Please mind my sloppy playing.
Anyway, that red one is out of stock. I'm only left with black.

Thanks for the vids. I'll have to think about it. Gonna try each bass first

What tuning do you drop to? D standard/Drop C?
It's possible, given a set-up after the string change. But the neck is only made up of 1-piece maple, might still succumb to the high tension of heavier gauge. I have one Legend 4 Classic that I tune down to Drop C with 55-115 strings, and that is already giving the 3-piece neck some slight bow. I'm scared a 1-piece might just bow a whole lot more.

Ok thanks for the tips,
