I'm broke too now! Honestly I made a promise that I'd buy the first red NS-2 I found. This one popped up and the rest is history.
It's definitely been used, but I like my basses a little rough around the edges that way I don't feel bad gigging them and dinging them up a bit.
Oh and Brian over at The Low End was awesome to deal with! |

Oh and Brian over at The Low End was awesome to deal with! | Very cool! He has some pretty crazy freakin basses in his shop! I try to check in every few weeks to see what he has coming in! ...I thought about going out there and playing the red one, but it was gone before I could check it out! 
I still want to check out the caramel burst...one reason I haven't is because I'm scared that I will fall in love and not be able to afford it!

AMP BH-420.

Oh and Brian over at The Low End was awesome to deal with! | Glad to see you got your hands on another NS-2.
How is the neck (front to back) compared to the previous one you had?

Oh and Brian over at The Low End was awesome to deal with! | The red one is nice, I made a offer on the Carmel one earlier. Waiting for a reply. Were you able to get them to come off the price any? 2700 is a bit steep for the brown.

That is a cool color but like you, I wouldn't pay that much.

Makes you wonder if it had some sort of neck damage or something. Quote:

I was never a pedal user but they are starting to peak my interest a bit now and I am about to buy a B3K and a Morley Dual Bass Wah to get me started.

BTW, I just ordered one of the new Electro-Harmonix Talking Pedals - primairly for my guitar rig - but I definitely plan on trying it out with the Spectors. This YouTube demo indicates some serious mayhem potential... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KFkJt5lqFHk

The B3k is going no where. I used to use pedals and I had more than both guitarist together. When I played in a cover band I had to get the exact tone of every player I covered. I am anal like that. I have been working in a few projects and my band now is all original so I get to find my own tone now.
