Now, If you are worried about battery life during a gig.. you can wire 2 9Vdc batteries in parallel. Still 9 volts but, it "doubles" the run time. Theoretically.Holy Crap!!!!! Thanks for the heads up Trace!!!! Looks like i'll just be rolling 9 volt with it. Again, thanks Trace!!!!!
PS-Everytime i see the "Trace" in your name it makes me want to test a TE amp!!!! Gosh i wish they had one near by for me to use with my Spector!!!!

Clearwave said:I don't have $2075, but if a deal like that came up, I'd come up with $2075.
PS:
Are you selling any of your nice spectors anytime soon?
I'll have to sell something to keep my wife from killing me.
A little early but since I had a little photoshoot with my beautiful wife this morning after the kids went to school, I thought I would share a little christmas card with you guys. Hope you don´t mind.
I´ll add that my wife likes to play bass as well and supports me playing. She also loves my new Spector
Best regards/Daniel

Hahaha, no.. I just figured you were making eyes at me! LOL JK....
My son and I do that "Mr. Spock one eyebrow thing" at each other when someone says something or we see something ...um, odd.
Like "A Korean NS-2C, made in USA" would be contradictory.
I was just saying that the neck plate says "Made in USA" and "NS1340" was the serial number on the plate.
Since I was on my droid and I have not seen the neck plate on a 2C close enough to read it, it seemed odd. Like another end of the Kramer era throw together.
But coming with a tweed HSC, that's a great deal!![]()

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.

Incase you need some help in making your decision.
Here is a clip of the Forte that really demonstrates the tone from it.
