    Spector NS Dimension

    Hi there. I just received lately my new NS dimension in gorgeous plum crazy finish and I an already said that is a great bass . But the neck seems to be a little wristed at the beginning of the headstock. It look a little weird, I have to break a little my own neck to see the first frets. Is it...

    What I would expected, if not more finishes in MS , is an EHB multi-scale 37"... Not that I’m not satisfied with my two owned 35" EHB, but it’s a shame not to go on the field of the few very expensive brands that offer this tuning fork. With all the already known qualities of EHBs. However, I...

    I saw a similar post on the EHB Owners facebook page. Have the EHB preamp changed?

    I put chrome on my 1505ms, I really love the sound. And I play metal.

    The dome knobs from EMG looks good and match well with tunning keys. However, plastics one don’t bother me. They do the job.

    It had crossed my mind for a while. I had calmed the harsh temperament of my L2000s like that already and I had rediscovered these basses. So I put flats on one of my Ehb1505ms, but not just any: chromes. And that’s the revelation. The preamp becomes exploitable and the sound is magnified. I...

    Yes! I wouldn’t say they are necessarily prettier or better than EHB, but they have style! And in 35" Eugene from Jinjer has a brand new model (the white one)

    That’s right. Have you seen the bass from Overload Guitars, which supports bassists from Jinjer, Infected Rain, Inverno... ?

    I think I question myself too much and I’m not surprised by myself. I will do with my current preamp (in BEQ3 mode that looks a little more scooped) and my Big Splits and I will see in the long run if ever I have to change. I spend too much money on equipment :roflmao:

    What model? A guy from this group on fb also told me... Did you make that change?

    I had noted in a EHB group on fb that many preferred passive mode over active mode. This is also true for EHB owners with Nordstrand? Why? Do you find there a grain that I could not hear? Or it is to calm it a little the nordstrand’s temper?

    Yes I also like mine , but you prefer a mode of preamp or you play essentially passive? :thumbsup:

    EHB with Nordstrand owners, wich preamp mode do you prefer ? VM3 (standard) or BEQ3 ? Why ? And What kind of stuff do you play ?

    Microtubes Infinity and Microtubes amp head

    Thank you your insightful feedback ! Currently I use it passing in the loop of a HX Stomp, which allows me to also manage (or try) Noise Gate, HPF, etc.. I’m not looking for extremes filth but just some 2 or 3 different signatures of sound to manage with in a kind of nu / groove metal band. I...

    What do you blame with the BEQ3 compared to the original? (To see if I realize it also when I try/ difference of Pups apart)
