Yesterday I actually got my hands on a "Brand new" Bass Player magazine! bought at Barnes & Noble book store in Columbus Ohio. If you knew that normally I'd have to drive 2 hours to buy one of these magazine, it's a big deal for me. My wife said to me this morning, why don't you go ahead and subscribe to the magazine. YES! 2 years for $26!

I don't have a video but I have a bunch of comparison clips I recorded. It visited my house on it's way to BPL in October.
Here are the clips I also recorded clips vs. a USA Made MusicMan SUB Sterling.
The balance was fine (no neck dive)
The Weight was much lighter then my Forte and NS-2s I would say it was in the 8lb area.
Feel free to PM me if you have any further questions.

Merry Christmas everyone, or what ever you celebrate, just hope you have a peaceful, restful time with your non-Spector family members 
Okay, I was thinking today, maybe there should be some sort of end of the year Spector club awards, FOR FUN!!
I'll through my hat into the ring first. I am running for the most ridiculous piece of bass playing gear purchased this year.
For my treatments, I have what is called a picc line so they don't have to stick me with an IV 9,000,000 times. It's gross but it is two lines in my arm almost where my arm rests when I am playing bass, definitely the little plastic things hit the bass when I slap. So I had to buy a picc line cover, to cover it up and keep the little plastic things from hitting or scratching my NS-2.
If you can beat that for silly, Let me know LOL.
sorry for the gross pics, just want to let you know what I am talking about.
Peace everyone! CHRIS.

You could order it with the usual 35 HZs then upgrade them to EMG 35P and 35J Pickups for the PJ tone.
If you are not stuck on that color. Your best bet is to go with a used Rebop and upgrade to 35P & 35J pickups. There has been a few really decent priced ReBops around recently and they are always coming up used.
Remember, as I always offered if, you find any in the US that will not ship to the UK, it can always be shipped to me and I will ship it to the UK for you.

I don't know who's going to be able to top that accessory, Chris. I don't know the story of why you need one of those, but it's never for anything good  I can sympathize though, cuz a few years ago after a big surgery I had to have one in for close to a month.
Sounds like you have a great attitude about it though  Stay positive!
I hope you & your loved ones and everyone elses here have a happy & healthy Christmas. Rock that picc line!
My Wife & I just returned home from Baja Mexico no more than 15 minutes ago. I can't wait to pick back up my Forte-4X tomorrow from BassNorthwest ... right now my Yammy will have to do

Peace everyone! CHRIS. | I have a nice scar from the picc line I owned for about 4 months back in 2008. They got me right below the center of my bicep on my right arm.
I feel your pain. Luckily for me I never really ran into an issue playing... And I started playing bass during this, my 2nd bout with cancer.
I did have the same clear tape barrier and I wore this thing that was basically the sleeve of a shirt, really tight, but elastic, because I was always freakin' cold.
I guess it worked to protect the finish of that guitar. It was an old P-Bass.
You know. Ironically... I think I didn't really care about the finish on that old P. It was road worn already. It was the darn picc line I was concerned about. Having it pull and then have to go through all the crap to get it back in. LOL.
So dude! You've got some priorities... protecting your bass over your picc line!
I love you bro! I hope you and your wife and kids have had a great Christmas!

The new Spector Bass Guitars website is ALMOST... so close to being finished.
It's going to work seamlessly with the newly launched "company" website.
So much easier to use, better photos, more detailed info, you're basically no more than two clicks from anything you want to see, anywhere in the site.
The new navigation is really slick and easy to use.
I can't wait to get the green light to launch it and share it with you all.
And as always, the members of this club with get an advanced notice and will be the first to see it.
Merry Christmas my friends!
I'll see you all tomorrow. My bed and some DVDs call.
