Spector-cular Arc6 Pro!


I've acquired myself a Spector ARC6 Pro after being much attracted to Stuart Spector's basses.

As documented on the headstock, the manufacturer's name & brand emblem. The design in whole is devoid of any sharp edges/ protrusions, the headstock included.

The ARC6 Pro is a reflection of its bass siblings, sporting a curved top...

... & rear. In my opinion, this is the signature Spector feature making it less ordinary & very attractive.

6 bolts to secure the neck to the body, a little overkill but these add much to sustain.

A pair of Tesla VR-60s; these give off a mixture of vintage growl but they are not averse to high drive/ distortion settings.

Please visit Musicark @ Parklane shopping mall to check out Spector basses & guitars. Thank you Mr. Lance for all the considerations in acquiring this instrument. Not forgetting brother Firdaus (aka SicBarney) for the stellar customer service. Kudos!

bro, do u have more info about the world music factory korea? can't find info abt this company/factory from google

subversion.sg said...

it's a government owned factory, one of its production space deals with musical instruments. because it holds the authority's reputation, it observes a very high standard of production.

why vr-60s?? why not put vr-extremes..

subversion.sg said...

given the choice, i would have some other TESLAs in there but the VR-60s are factory default. maybe you can e-mail Spector to address this query or leave a message at their Facebook wall :-)

Is the pickups switching the standard one? I saw this http://www.guitarcenter.com/DiMarzio-Three-Position-On-On-On-4PDT-Pickup-Selector-Switch-100484995-i1134704.gc

3-way toggle 4pdt i think petrucci's switch, is this available in singapore? this is a fun mod, middle position gets the two outer coils, i hope spector also tries this, I am willing to try it, first I'll look for one, have you tried these sub?(sorry for long comment)

my ibanez sporting 3-way switches + 2 humbuckers are wired this way.

Spector doesn't split the humbuckers in the (switch) middle position for a simple reason- the VR-60s are 2-conductors, so not splitable :-)
