Eh, this is just for fun and converstation but I agree. Unfortunately, finding dedicated musicians in East Kentucky that also want to play really obscure Jazz Fusion is near impossible. :(

Here's the new one. I honestly couldn't tell if it sounds close to the original or not. I would like to hear from anybody who has owned/played the original NS-1 about any differences in tone or nuances no matter how small or minute.

My favorites have already changed by now, lol. Now that I think of it, why couldn't we go a different route though and you yourself play bass with all your favorite musicians? Too bad I wouldn't know enough Jazz theory yet (or maybe never will) to keep up with my favorites. One of these I'll...

I strongly second this. I also want to add: "That the plaque for the alternates is down in the ladies room." - Lt. Tom 'Iceman' Kazansky

Man that is so awesome! Would you know what kind of EQ were in those during production? Are they anything like a TonePump or HAZ? I'm also wondering what those switches do. Thanks for the post and the pic!

Thank you guys so much for the videos!! Those basses sound even more killer than I realized! DUDE! That thing sounds amazing!! And fantastic solo too! As far as that Jean-Luc Ponty music goes... Ironically that is exactly the type of music I am looking for and really into! That would have been...

Thank you for the insight and your input. Yeah, I could imagine that and understand where you're coming from. But that isn't the idea here at all. This isn't meant to be taken so seriously. This is hypothetical talk just for fun and lighthearted conversation.

Hey everybody! Awesome thread here! Over the last 15 years there has always been a sound I was looking for. After playing every brand and every bass I possibly could including many Fenders, Music Man Stingrays, Warwicks, Ibanez, and many more basses, some very rare basses, and even pedals such...

Calling all old school Spector fans and enthusiasts! I need your help. I am looking for more audio and video of the 1978 NS-1 bass. After months of seemingly endless obsessive searching, I have only found two examples of sound and video of this bass which are Loverboy's "Turn Me Loose" music...

This one. I have tried for years to figure out how he always got such an aggressive growly sound out of his Precisions using flatwounds and only know a few things so far. They were very light gauge new Rotosound flats, I saw him playing bass mostly through those old heavy wood PA speakers with...

I'm sure there are tons of these threads already and this likely won't be the last, but what the hey. In the spirit of fun and good vibes conversation, let's give it a shot! I'll kick things off. Guitars - Allan Holdsworth, Frank Zappa Bass - John Patitucci Keys - Chick Corea Drums -...

Two Fender American Precision basses with DiMarzio Willpower P pickups, one with flats and one with rounds. A Warwick Rockbass Corvette $$ 4 passive but have them spread the pickups apart some so I have a little room to pluck and it not be on top of either pickup. A possible Rickenbacker 4003...

Major bump for this one because I too am curious. Not only his recent strings but also strings he used in the past. I have seen multiple sites of Jason's equipment list him using both La Bella and Ernie Ball strings (assuming the Ernie Balls are also stainless steel??), and that's where I am...

A valid message. Delete this thread please. Thank you!
