That vital remains guitar fucking rules. Neal Moser/Yavcon guitars are awesome.

Kalopsia, if you're talking about a Euro spector (or any other mass produced instrument); then the bass may just have buzzing issues in general. It takes a super straight neck, fine craftsmanship and flawless fretwork to create a bass that doesn't buzz at all when you hit hard, especially with the instrument's action set low. I've only played boutique basses (i.e. sukop, fodera, mtd, modulus and others) that have not buzzed at all with very low action. That's not to say the Euro Spector's not a great bass. I love those things, especially the four-strings.

Adjusting the truss rod (and thus raising the action) will certainly improve and may fix the problem entirely. You could also try attacking the notes with a lighter touch because the harder you hit the buzzier the note gets. You're probably using emgs which are very sensitive and also put out alot (do you have a 9v or 18v preamp?), so playing with a lighter touch may be a very feasible idea for you.

A final idea would be taking your bass to a shop and getting it set up professionally. It may need fretwork (especially if it's buzzing only in specific places), or the repairman could adjust your truss rod, bridge and nut (if it's adjustable on your bass) so that all the strings are the ideal distance from the fretboard.
