| | | | spector american bolt on
I have a Spector American bolt on NS-JH-5 with an ash body. Many NS-JH-5's I see on the net are maple bodies or ash with a top option. The number on the back of the headstock is #058 that's hand written and a build date of 11/20/00. My bass doesn't have a top option, it's a maple neck, Pau Ferro fingerboard with small marker dots. Is this a rare bass? I don't see any others like it. |

I bet it's a sweet bass! If you don't mind, can you post a few pics?

Post a pic on over in the Spector club thread and get ya a #. Awesome people and great info there on all things spector.

So, it's different from the models they're making now, but it's likely not custom.

Although they don't get a lot of love here on TB, I like it and appreciate the sounds I can get out of it. I can tame the aggressiveness by varying playing position and attack.  |

| | | | mine is the aguilar. all of my basses have either the obp 1 or 3. I dont know too much about the tone pump but Im sure it fits the bass well. |
