But that still doesn't excuse the white pants....

You totally get points for the Ric double-neck.

I deduct points - only thing uglier than a Ric is two of them put together.

Sorry if I offend anyone with that - I just really dislike them.

The brother bass to my NS-2#800 it's NS-4#801

Ha! Double Neck Rics to me are like hip hugger bell-bottoms. They're so wrong but in a way they define the weirdness that was the late 1970's and early 1980's.

Sort of like those frilly shirt power-blue tuxedos way too many people sported to their senior proms.

Wonder how AIC's new single "Hollow"is going to sound next week with no Spector Guess they are missing a lot of components that made their sound.

The strings are set super low to the neck, the neck's thickness front to back is super thin! much like my former Forte 5 or even thinner, I'll take neck measurements when I go put the GHS Precision Flats custom's on and send the measurements to Patrick. Very fast neck! It's an oiled neck. This Coda 5 Deluxe definitely says "High Quality" big time!!! Enjoy the photos!

That is a very pretty finish.........

Congrats Ice! Simply stunning. And I thought I had Coda GaS before... I was listening to some Meshell Ndegeocello earlier and was floored by that jazz bass sound- marrying that with Spector's craftsmanship can only yield an amazing instrument! Enjoy it in good health!

Totally. Paul Gilbert is in a league of his own, and Juan Alderate is an all around monster! His playing with racer x and the mars Volta is incredible.

And friggin' white pants, too boot!

Those pants are outrageous!!!! ; )

I'm curious, those double Rics must have weighed 20#???

I'm a big fan of the Korean Spectors from that period. Pound for pound one of the best deals you can get if you're looking for an affordable, entry level Spector experience.

They are Awesome!!!

Wow - congrats on a beautiful bass! That Coda looks like an aerial shot of the Caribbean Ocean (ok maybe the Bahamas)! I can't wait to hear a review on it or maybe some sound clips. What's the PU and Preamp combo on this?

It was scary.

Then in the late 1990's I grew it out all one length.

What was I thinking?

Long hair was king!!!
