I'm good with the thickness of my NS-5XL but it might be too much on a 6. |

I told him I wanted the profile from the Webster bass on the BO and he was cool with it. It will be a bit different because it's not a neck-thru, but the front to back profile should be very close!
I played the NS-5XL you got from Guy before he sold it. It was a bit thick for my tastes.

I can't even concentrate on playing right now!! Every time I start to practice, I just imagine how sweet it will sound played on a fretless and I just get bummed out and stop!

I know it's not a Spector but that is just a cool video to watch. Oh, and he is using a B3K to get that tone

It looks rough I think, because every single ding has evidence of a home style repair job, with sanding and even red paint. So not knowing what it looked like before, he may have made matters considerably worse. | I bought a NS-95 SSD New/Old stock for $600...I'd offer him $250-350. HAve you got to play it at all? I'd make sure either to play it or make sure he'll guarentee it. They're an amazing sounding and playing bass. One of my sell regrets. Quote:

Looking really nice Fat! Thanks for the progress report! | If you guys think Maker's is "top shelf" stuff you really don't know your bourbon. Just because it's on the top shelf at ABC doesn't mean it's "top shelf".

For example, I am getting a bourbon I had to order that is seasonal that comes out only during Holiday Season for about $100 @ 140 proof.......that might not even be top shelf.......I would mix Beam, I would drink Makers on the Rocks, I would drink Blanton's warm.......while playing my Spector on a chilly night!
