Question for Embellisher,Nino,Smart people who know stuff about spectors

No differences, except in the grade of the figuring of the maple...which really doesn't matter, now does it?

 

Also, The newer ones have a 35" scale neck. I had the same bass in black I gust sold on eBay for $699.99 w/case. You missed a great deal w/me. I got that from Musician's Friend, also.

Great bass!!!! Go for it. The B was nice & tight & it sounded awesome. I just had to make room fo a Sadowksy.

Ah yes, forgot about the neck...when's the sadowsky due, nino?

 

I'm glad you think I'm a smart person, but I'm not sure why.

I'm not the Spector expert that Nino is, but I did know that the closeouts at MF had a 34" scale and less figured maple. If the bass is solid black, it doesn't matter what the wood looks like, as long as it is maple, it will sound like a Spector.

 

Refresh my memory, as far as Spector goes there is Nino, Ram, and _______
Fill in the blank, and where is that guy?

 

MrFortuneCookie?

 

Eric Atkinson?

 

No, his name had the word death or black or something like that. I haven't seen him for a while. Maybe he was a name change.

 

dark mazda? black knight?

 

It is Mr. Dead, he was here about 20 days ago.

 

Iam the new spector guy! I was a warwick guy! Well actually iam the spector warwick guy! HeHe
Also have a old fender!

 

Where's Flipperwhite?

 

can i be the yamaha man and the crafter man and the custom fretless man

ahhhhh, go on!

*Si*

 

Nino,

You sure about that 18V active system? I've got the same one, also from musician's friend, but it's only a 9V.

BM2K,

It's a great deal. Go for it!! The NS5CR is neck-thru just like the NS5CR-FM. The thing sustains for days.

 

It came stock w/9 volt. All you have to do to make EMG's 18V is add another 9V battery, which I did.

As you can see on the input jack, my daughter had fun w/a pen.

Cool! Thanks Nino, you da bomb.

So, what does the extra 9 volts do for the sound? Why is it better than [edit:] 18?

 

good guess, I do NOT have a spector.. but i WOULD like to have a spector.. Some ppl say my tone from our CD sounds just like a Spector.. and Nino always tells me to get a Spector
