Value-packed 5-string Bass with Iconic NS Style and Tone

The Legend 5 Standard’s easy-playing bolt-on neck is built from three pieces of hard maple and fortified with a heavy-duty dual-action truss rod for rock-solid stability. On top, an amara fingerboard with dot inlays delivers classic Spector playability. Onboard you’ll find a pair of custom-wound Spector soapbar pickups and a proprietary active 2-band EQ packing 12dB of boost and cut. Whether you’re staking your claim in the Spector Bass landscape for the first time or looking for a high-performance stage axe, the Spector Legend 5 Standard from Sweetwater is a sound investment.

Powerful Spector Soapbar pickups
The Legend 5 Standard holds down the low end in style. That’s largely thanks to a pair of powerful Spector Soapbar pickups stationed in the middle and bridge positions. This arrangement gives you the low-end punch from the middle pickup, along with the aggressive growl from the soapbar at the bridge. Mix up your signature blend, and you’re ready to rock.
Active 2-band EQ
The Legend 5 Standard comes equipped with a proprietary preamp circuit with interactive bass and treble controls that provide for 12dB of boost or cut. Combined with individual volume controls for each pickup, the Legend 5 Standard has the sound-shaping capabilities to handle any style of music you’re likely to encounter.
