I have a blue Woodstock NS-4 with the same 18-volt USA circuit, and it delivers all of the magic that my Euros do, and then some....

Thought it would be interesting sharing this photo of NS-2 #800 when it was just wing cut outs compared to the completed bass.  | I love this image - shows the true artistry of Spector. Beautiful bass!

My gut says that adding a US9V pre would give me that elusive extra 1%. But if I'm meant to /suffer/ along with the aggie OBP-2, well, so be it. haha. 
I'm hoping to get a couple of decent live shots of it in action tomorrow night in front of crowd that's bigger than my dog and occasionally my wife/kids.
Btw, Omer, that spalt is seriously classy. I love the before/after pics. (Sam, yours too).

SHEEESSH | they use a technique that involves a coat of black dye that they apply and then sand off. the dark dye sits in the "short grain" in the figure of the wood and creates a 3D effect that really pops out when the color and clear coat are applied. PRS also uses this technique on their maple tops as does Modulus I think.
