As requested, here are more photos of the Purple Penguin NS-2. I also added photos of my Sadowsky SA-200, my Bergantino HG410 cab, & my effects board. I'm amazed daily at the sounds one can draw out of a Spector...glorious basses.

Sorry to both of you. I don't come on here that much. When I get home from work tonight, I'll take a bunch of pictures of the bass & I also take photos of my bass rig, just in case anyone finds that interesting.

I don't even like Queensryche, but you are 1,000,000% correct. Jackson's tone on "Operation: Mindcrime" is essential listening. 1 of the big reasons I bought my Spector!!

Yessir. Ever since I was a kid, my favorite animal was always a penguin. Then, I married a woman who has the same peculiar obsession. The way the artist blended the purple color into the penguins' feathers was super cool.

I know this is a random post, but I am joining the Spector owners group with a picture of mine. Wimbish NS-2. Not my "best" bass, but certainly my favorite. This instrument allows me to not only replicate my idols, but also create great songs with menacing tone!!

I have a MaxxFly PB-12 in mint condition that is an absolutely divine instrument. If anyone is very serious about acquiring one, feel free to message me.

Yeah…I’m one of those guys who likes to “go big & go home” with gear. What I mean is that I honestly don’t “sample” much gear; I get some feedback from a few people I trust (specifically the treasured amp tech in my area, Kevin Silva of Uncle Albert’s) & then once I get what I want after...

This may sound uppity, but I only play tube amps. I've never played a solid state amp & kinda/sorta refuse to do so. Well, I played one once that my buddy was raving about & my not-so-great tube amp was significantly better, so ever since that time, I've shied away from solid state. I'm...

I guess this site won’t let me use bad words. I’d never willingly say “poopie”.

I love The Prodigy. Ironically enough, the X/Y of the SA-200 vs Strategy that I spelled out above is pretty similar to my feelings about The Prodigy. I’ll say this: If the Strategy is a 10/10, id rate the Prodigy at an 8.5/10. The only discernible difference is the power/headroom. I love both...

I wouldn't call the difference "significant", but when you're talking 465 versus 200 tube watts, then I do believe there is a difference in power. I notice it, anyway. Also, when I play the Sadowsky, my wife doesn't complain & my dog is fairly content. When I play the Mesa, my wife yells at...

I must admit that I believe the Mesa/Boogie Strategy 8:88 is the finest bass amplifier I've ever played. I would say the Strategy is the Zenith against which all other amplifiers should be judged. In short, it has more headroom & "balls" that the Sadowsky SA-200. My amp tech believes that...

I have one. I just got it about 30 days ago. I will probably be classified as a buffoon, but I honestly prefer my Mesa/Boogie Strategy. However, the SA-200 is obviously very nice. Comparing the 2 is certainly not an "apples to apples" venture. If anyone is interested in a serious...

No. I only started playing a few weeks ago. I’m not gonna use my bass for gigs- I’m a singer in a band setting. This proposed rig is for personal use only. I like hard rock/metal: Guns, Alice, Soundgarden, Sabbath, Tool, Lamb Of God, System of A Down, etc.

All of my pertinent details are posted in my profile, but I’ll post them here so people can easily see it: I just bought a ‘95 Warwick Thumb 4 NT. I currently play through a little Orange 8” 25w practice amp, & am interested in getting a serious rig as my playing progresses. I’m a decent guitar...
