When I got the PM back from him that it sold immediately I said to myself in my Newman from Seinfeld voice, "Fat240".

And with that I now have Seinfeld-esque slap bass stuck in my head...

Yup, every generation thinks the next generation is the beginning of the end. Remember how the adults of the 50's knew for certain that the college students of the 60's were out of their mind? And when disco came in in the 70's well THAT WAS IT. Doom was eminent. And on and on and on.

Too young. At that age, they still question. It's later ages (closer to graduation & college) where this is untaught & they begin the failing methods of regurgitated conformity.

Damn, I sound like some conspiracy nut. :S

Anyways, back to your regularly scheduled SASing!

Now, ^^that^^ is an episode that I would watch. Haha.

I'd be on hoarders too but Spector prices make that somewhat self-limiting. My collection of vintage Pumas? Not so much. My hoovering-up tendencies definitely increase as the price point comes down.

That was a good one, It just happened I really don't remember the whole ordeal.

On the Euro vs. US, I love my Euro's the Matte is awesome and the Plum is so easy to play. I am partial to the older Kramer-era's and Brooklyn's. They all have good necks and the older circuits are my preference. I have played a few US basses and didn't care for the necks even though they sounded great, I am happier with two older US models for the price of one. I played a Coda not to long ago because I am looking for a jazz and I thought the neck was huge. The new builds are beautiful though, I'm just a cheapie.

I played a coda 4....to be honest I was not please with the neck profile at all. I prefer the newer super jazz slim taper profiles that exist on other jazz type basses. Having said that though....the tops on the deluxe a sure are pretty

Ooh... Hope I got mine in the mail today. Got to wait till midnight to get the mail though.

Did you get the black one? Those basses are great! I played one last summer. Very impressive! I dig the neck on those.

Some guys like the beefy necks, I know Jeff like's thick one's also. I wish builder's could offer neck profile choices. Nothing worse than spending hard earned cash on a bass that either has a neck that's too small or too big and not playing it because of that.

delucajohn2000 · #**614** 02-07-2013, 04:02 PM

I just wish the Coda's had the graphite rods in them like the Euro and USA models but they don't. I am wondering if that might have anything to do with some not liking the necks since they probably wouldn't be like the typical necks we are used to.
For me, the thicker and bigger the neck, the better

My shipping notice says my Divinity Compromised CD will be here tomorrow so I can't wait

I will also have some pics later of something else new as well, LOL. Just another little thing I am about to leave to pickup.

Good point John, I knew you liked the bigger necks too. I know several that get the necks shaved also. My Rebop5 has a nice profile for a 5er compared to the Coda I played. Do the Rebops have rods?

Yup, the Rebops have the rods. Your Rebop was made around the same time mine was if I am not mistaken and that has a great feeling neck. Very similar to my NS-JH5 as well so if you didn't like the feel of the Coda neck, I am not sure if I will. I would love to try one but nobody has them in stock near me.

the signs of life recordings in my sig were all recorded using the euro spalt 5 and the amber euro 5...the blue one is the one taking up all my time now...just finally getting all of my pics organized...kinda late to the party

Awesome collection!! I am really SAS'n for an orange Spector.

neptoon · #**620** 02-07-2013, 06:11 PM

amber spectors are the money...i still have to get a forte and one of the 4 string lxtw's with the 35" scale, and i love the finish on the new rebop mm4...the blue black (non-burst finish which i really don't dig) just kills...and seeing it with nicki tedesco holding onto it just makes it that much better
