Worth quoting. If you're not buying your strings from Jason (assuming he sells your preferred string) you need to have your head examined.

Thanks,
I do love that growl under that laid back smooth Jazz sound.
I bet if Coltrane was around for the Spector era, he would demand his bass players to use Spectors



I am using this.

But there are alot of less expensive items you can use for this. Basically its a device that allows you to plug your analog instruments into your PC via USB. Everything is recorded on on your hard drive. I am using the program that came with this, which is Pro Tools LE.

With these recordings I copied the MP3 of the song into Pro Tools, EQ'd the bass frequencies out

The bass plugs into the Mbox (just like it would into an amp) and this box connects to the USB port on my PC.

I recorded my bass track and mixed it down with the MP3.

The MP3 would be a Stereo (Track 1)
and my bass would be (Track 2)

At first this can sound very complex but once you get it setup its very easy to work with.

Thanks, gonna start looking into this

Yup. I get all my string and stuff from Jason

 

[iceboxbass]

Thanks man!! early next year but its only the 3 song EP but if people buy it a full length is close behind

Count me in!!!

 

[worshiprocker]

Dude, that freakin' rocks

Thanks....

LimaGuy must have "the touch" when I recorded into GarageBand it was really over driven with the compression an EQ tweaked.... I'm a techie when it comes to live gear but not so much for recording

Can anyone tell me if it is possible to convert 9 to 18 volt? I'm just curious as i might want to try this if it is possible with one of my on board preamps.

 

[PhatBasstard]

I see it has a bridge ground, too....
I wonder if it could also be one of the last ones built with whatever Kramer had....
86 Haz pre, gold USA bridge, gold Gotoh tuners, Korean fretboard, Plastic nut, etc...

As I remember, that possibility came up (i.e. Some of the very last NS2A's with actual US bodies/necks). The general concensus was "probably not" as when those have surfaced they've had the US inlays.

 

[worshiprocker]

Sorry if someone posted this before, but, uh, what is this?

NS-2B, but never seen a neck plate like that.

Someone buy that! its a great price..... I take it back... someone help Thundar get that bass.... he is collector of all spectors "different"

Depends on your pre.
All EMG's, Aguilar and all but the earliest Tone Pumps (that had the voltage doubler) seem to be fine with it. EMG's are actually able to run up to 27 volts.
I'm not sure on other various pre's.

Physically, you just wire two 9 volts up in series.

Has anyone asked PJ about this bass?

I need to start doing this. I've been ordering from JustStrings who are fast, but I priced my custom D'Addario XL and BSO is about $5 cheaper. Big difference.
How do you sign up as VIP? I don't see that on the site unless I'm missing it.

 

[PhatBasstard]

.. says made In USA.

 

[PhatBasstard]

Has anyone asked PJ about this bass?

Yes.
He was in on the "general concensus" the first two times this bass surfaced. I believe he even contacted the seller at some point.

 

[PhatBasstard]

...I priced my custom D'Addario XL and BSO is about $5 cheaper. Big difference.

Per set or is that on some kind of bulk order?

FWIW, I just placed my yearly D'Addario bulk order with JustStrings earlier this week.....only to get a mailer from "The Perfect Bass" where they're having some screaming deals on D'Addarios right now. I could have saved about $3-$4 per set.

DOH! :scowl:

I'm sorry, but what is "the general consensus"?

I feel left out too. I dont know the general consensus either
The bass in question looks great. If that is indeed a HAZ then the asking price is not outrageous.
