One owner observed that the battery compartment requires unscrewing, unlike other basses with easily accessible compartments.

A long-term owner mentioned their thumb wore through the veneer and into the basswood body, demonstrating the body’s durability under extensive use.

Owners highlight differences between older and newer Legend models, with many preferring the build of older versions.

Older Spector Legend models with EMG HZ pickups are highlighted for their solid performance compared to newer Spector-specific pickups.

A long-term user reported that their Legend 5 maintained intonation and tuning stability over 15+ years with regular use.

Some owners with larger hands find the neck comfortable, suggesting suitability for players with longer fingers.

Despite its weight, the Legend series is praised for its sustain, making it suitable for live gigs and recording.

The stacked bass and treble boost/cut knob, alongside the TonePump Jr preamp, is appreciated for tonal flexibility.

The neck is noted for having wider string spacing and a thicker profile, which might not suit those accustomed to brands like Ibanez or Yamaha.

Newer Legend series models use Spector's own pickups, unlike older models which used Aguilar or EMG HZ pickups.

A user reported needing to pull the first five frets and sand the neck due to a bulge, indicating potential neck issues in older models.

Concerns about initial setup include reports of completely bent necks and poorly cut frets, though these issues are noted more with the Performer series.

Some legends on Reverb have been upgraded with different pickups, suggesting potential for customization.

Legends tend to hold their value well, making them a reliable investment for those considering resale.
