And what are the best Spector basses available left handed? I know they are Euro ones, but what's the top lefty model you can get?

Do Spectors use stock EMG pickups?

I think the only option currently available are the Spector Legend models if buying new. The pickups for these are the SSD I think. The
Euro LX and Rebop came with EMG pickups, unless different pickups were ordered. As for showing you our Spectors......The first is the Rebop (Blackie) I bought from lsimy and now sports nickel hardware and Fender Custom Shop pickups. The second is my Doubleneck (Punisher) that Spector was kind enough to supply the necks for. Though they didn't build it, because they supplied the necks, I made it to their body style. Because she is 13lbs, I call her the Punisher, pickups are all EMG.

That double neck is crazy! Me want.

Here's my '94 NSCRFM Euro Spector. One of my favorite basses for slapping:

I didn't buy this, but to me, it is just about the most beautiful bass I have ever seen, so of course, this is the first Spector that always comes to my mind:

It's a Rebop 4 M. If I had decided I was definitely going to buy a Spector, it would definitely be this body color and fretboard combination.

It was listed on Arni's site, page 47, about 1/5 of the way down.

Been trying to get my hands on a Spector for years, and looking into this thread isn't helping me.
