Guys, bear with me. This thread goes so fast it is hard to go back and look for something.

Since theUS 9v circuit is on backorder, was it Patrick that said he felt the Aggie was the closest in tone?

My tech just spliced the battery lead to power the EMG's...

I forget who said it, but they said that PJ said the Aggie pres get close.

I do believe it was Patrick that the 18 volt version of the Aguilar OBP-2 came close. I like Aguilar preamps!

bide your time and wait IMO. buy once, cry once, buy 10 and get divorced or run out of kidneys.......

nothing sounds like the haz. Close, but not quite.

So, I just got back from Seattle and brought my Brooklyn NS-2 with me.

I gave it a good clean, changed the strings to my familiar DR Lo Riders, took some photos, plugged it in and......

Dear God.
You know how sometimes some instruments just "have" it. Well, this certainly does have that and more.
First off, for being almost 30 years old, this bass is in near MINT condition. Absolutely babied and well taken care of.

Then there's the fact that the wood has settled during all that time period which makes is resonate tremendously and last but not least, the USA 9V circuit from back then... Sound simply incredible!
No recording will do this bass justice, it must be listened through an amp and one must experience the thump that it give you.

Absolutely gorgeous bass in both looks and sound!!! Tons of "Mojo"!!!!!!!
This was going to get a black gloss finish, but I think I am keeping it as is...

More photos in the new thread later on.

+1 for some vintage Spector porn....

Buskman · #**993** 11-14-2012, 03:03 PM

Beautiful - enjoy!

But please (pretty please)... do NOT go anywhere near this bass w/ thoughts of a gloss black refin - get yourself an Ian Hill instead!

It was Patrick after coming back from BPL.

Wow seventh! That's a beauty! You're the second person I've heard say that about the older USA 9V circuits. Hmmm So there's a noticeable difference from your newest NS-2 Spalted maple? That's why I'd like a Brooklyn era or Kramer era.

bunkaroo · #**997** 11-14-2012, 03:29 PM

I can see I'm going to have to get my hands on a Kramer NS-2 eventually and make it BEAD.

brotherbassj · #**998** 11-14-2012, 03:34 PM

I've had the bop for a while......it's in the classifieds. I installed the emg DCs and a BQC then put it in the case and ignored it for the past 3 months......never played it live, left it alone, so it's getting sold.....the Euro with the DCs and 18 volt Spector circuit and kill switch is getting all my love currently!

Jaymi · #**999** 11-14-2012, 03:36 PM

and we are around the corner from part 49....

if I had extra money I'd be all over that Bop. I'm wanting to add a 5er to the ranks
