Yup, baby girl. She is now 10 whole days old. We also have 15 and 17 year old boys (same wife).

She is amazing. Move over Tal.

Problem is that she still only weighs 66% as much as my Forte, so I might have to rethink my thoughts of her starting her bass virtuoso training right away.

Well, Baby J is now sporting DiMarzio Area J's. NOW she sounds like a Spector is supposed to sound! Deep, warm, growly...man these are great pickups. Just not a fan of active pickups

Very excited. Going to casa de Limaguy tomorrow, today actually! Sam is going to hook up my HAZ so I can continue on to rehearsal. One of the main reasons I play Spector. The people! Not just the owners and employees, though they are fantastic, but the people who play them and are passionate about them. I have made some good friends, thanks to these exceptional instruments.

Mr.Bassie720 stoped over just earlier today as he drove up from MD to his band rehearsal in Queens.

I successfully installed his 9V USA circuit and setup his re-finished Forte.

Which looks, plays and sound amazing in person.

I had to solder the connections since his tech previously didn't use the caps.

The neck was shaved down a bit on his Forte and it really wasn't too much different then my new NS-2.

After he left my wife and daughter said they got nervous of the weird moaning sounds both of us were making when he first came over.

Obviously from him seeing my Spectors and me seeing his re-finished Forte and then of course the excitement moan when the circuit was installed and it got sound.

Makes sense I guess. I use a planet waves cable that has a mute button right on it, so I set my volume for shows and mute it with the switch at my amp.

Could definitely see how the blend would be useful for some guys, but I actually like the two volumes.

Sittings here watching the Steven Wilson Blu-ray - awesome as expected.

I originally thought Beggs didn't use the Spector a lot but he's used it on most of the songs so far. Perhaps he started using it more than when I saw the tour.

I have to say it's a striking contrast to see him go from using one of the most beautiful basses (NS-2 shape) to one of the most hideous (Rick).

Also freaking me out is the fact the guitar player looks a lot like with short hair.

If that does not work for you, post what dates you have available so I can get a consensus

Random realization.... My Rebop and one of my LX's have serial numbers within 9 numbers of each other. Kind of crazy!

The numbers NB10705 and NB10696.

I wouldn't have guessed the different models would be so close.
