Nice Spectors

[Dr. Cheese]

This is actually Jim Lucas, Orlando's very own "Will Lee". JD is the guy behind the camera. Common misunderstanding!

Thanks for the correction!

@NickBassCentral
Cool thanks for clarifying. I just knew him as Jim.

Been eyeing this one with Aguilar Super Doubles at my buddy's shop, but I've already picked up too many goodies these past few weeks...

THIS week's object of desire, GAS as a lifestyle.

So many basses

So little time.

 

[smogg]

Me if I walk into Bass Central.

View attachment 4649267 I have been playing Spector’s since the early ‘90’s and for me, nothing else compares in playability, tone and aesthetics. I currently own 4 and this is my main, a NS-5XL with 19mm spacing. Incredibly versatile bass and a absolute beast

Finding a great deal on a used Spector five with 19mm spacing at the bridge would be ideal.

So little money is more like it.

Here's the real question: Spector NS or Warwick Corvette?

Probably a Corvette because it is a lot cheaper on the used market.

 

[smogg]

Are the electronics close enough to get a Corvette to sound like an NS? Queensryche's Empire album comes to mind when I drool over Spector tone.

Love seeing pics of Doug Wimbish's OG 1987 Spector

Yup, they are hard to come by with those specs, but oh so worth it.

Spector. One day. When I stop treating my gear like crap.

 

[marchone]

As much as my GAS has subsided I still get a thrill up my leg when I see a USA Spector. A couple of years spent with an NS-2 JA-R did it to me.

The Streamer would be ideal, but it would cost as much or more than a Spector.

 

[Dr. Cheese]

This Warwick Broadneck Streamer is $3,399, so it certainly would be as much as a used American Spector and more than a used Euro Spector. That said, they do show up cheaper at times.

no..I have both Spector Euro and Corvette...they do not sound a like. You want the Queensryche tone...get a Spector

This is the only spector I've ever wanted.

 

[TinIndian]

I have no doubt I would love it!

Good grief Doc, be careful! These things are habit forming. 18 months ago I didn't have any, Now I have 6!

They are awesome but it's like eating peanuts, once you start you cant stop!
