Again, this is the reason I'm hoping Spector will sell the chrome bridges individually. You could get a Euro Wimbish or Ian Hill in white, then swap out the hardware for chrome.

I asked about a custom order Euro white with solid maple wings, 1.5 nut, 9v, and chrome hardware. All was doable but he wasn't sure about the chrome bridge because he only ordered a set amount.

Bummer... I guess that answers my question.

I decided to trade my Fender Am Std P-5 for that red quilt top NS-2000/5 I've been eyeing up + $400 cash. Seeing as I bought the P-5 for $900, and the guy's including a case and taking the brunt of the travel costs to do the trade, I think I'm coming out on top.

Pics will be posted when I get home, for sure!

Awesome! Looking forward to some pics!

Wow, that brings back some memories! My father was a Denver Police Officer, and he used to work concerts & wrestling matches on weekends for extra pay. I went with him often as I was growing up, and over the years I got to meet a bunch of the old-guard wrestlers & see some really cool concerts. Meeting Roddy Piper, Hulk Hogan and seeing Elvis in concert are some of the things I'll never forget..

Just post a pic of your Spector and shoot a PM to TraceBassPlayer requesting a number.

This bass is killing me... I wish I had the cash. One of the most stunning Spectors I've seen. It would be too heavy for me to gig with so even if I had the cash, I couldn't justify spending it on a bass that would only be played at home.

Roddy piper as in 'they live' ?
Haha, that is so cool. An Elvis concert is pretty great too.

Yep, that would be him. The matches were a lot of fun. All of the wrestlers would sit in the same dressing room playing poker & discussing who's turn it was to "win" that day, and many times I would get to hang out with them, always amazed at how normal & down to earth they were outside of the ring.

Strange that it originally had EMG DC's and they took them out and replaced them with the TW's. I did the opposite when I had my Euro 5 LX but I guess everyone has their own preference.

Yeah, that bass would definitely be too heavy for you. That thing is probably around the 11 pound mark so you would be better off finding a Rebop which would weigh much less and be much cheaper for you as well.

I could friend of mine is head of live events and talent relations. He shares an office with tripple H. Its funny when he talks about the guys and uses their real names. I love me some WWE.

Brian, our guitarist, just got this Arc6 Pro in last night. He loves it! He is coming over later and we are gonna get it setup for Defy Tolerance... His quote "Wait 'till you hear the pickups, soo crisp"

I can't wait, it looks great in pictures.

EDIT: Brian will be doing some videos with this guitar and we might make a trip out to Patrick (if he is cool with it) to do a video with his help.

3 hour jam with my Forte 5 earlier today and now watching my 7 week old baby.

I DID have a couple of Coronas after jam, so I am quite the rebel!

In any case, i think my Forte 5 went from number 3 to number one over the last couple of jams. Didn't see that coming!

I own an absolutely sick looking/playing/sounding MTD 535 as well as my old workhouse Modulus Quantum 5 Sweetspot. My MTD was my go to for the last while with the Modulus as a backup.... Then the Spector moved up to backing up the MTD as the tone was better for my current band than the Q5. Today I didn't even play the MTD.

I am super happy with the Spector. It is a beast at 11.7lbs, but on a good strap it isn't heavy to me.

IME, the Spector does everything as good as my MTD and Modulus except for slap (Damned good on the Spector, but the Modulus and MTD are both a bit better) and clean ballady stuff. I didn't like my tone on Clapton's Wonderful Tonight with the Forte as a rare example. Just nitpicking, but everything else, the Spector sounds killer. For fun we ran thru Livin' After Midnight and we added it to the setlist as it sounded great. I don't play with a pick much, but that tune with a Spector and a pick is killer.

I just might be looking for a 2nd Spector soon.

What other guitars does he play?

Apologies if I missed it, but you know how quickly this board can move!

Funny

He yelled at me close to 30 years ago at a Scranton PA WWF bout as I stood by my aisle seat jeering him.
You know he's really serious when he does that spit thing at the end of an encounter though
