Thank you
Not sure when, but apparently it'll be done VERY soon as it's an oil finish (according to Lima)

I know the gloss finishes take a while to complete, the Oil finish should be fairly quick and that looks just about done, Frets, Inlays are all in already.
Just need to add the bridge, PUPs and Oil Finish and someone will be playing a NS-2.![]()
P.S.
Please Don't leave the Forte Club![]()

All black ns2...black everything!!!![]()
Man, you guys have been busy.
Fortunately / Unfortunately, I traded my forte for the 5 stringer I needed. Fortunately, I found a TBer with a Spector who was looking for a 4. Check out the bad boy I have coming my way:

I don't think you are going to find many people that have used them. If I remember correctly, they are over $100 a set.
You seem excited....do we know specifics, or are we waiting until it crosses the border to you?
I will not be crossing that Canadian border anytime soon, the last time I was in Canada I was DEPORTED!!
I was filling in for 2 weeks with a country band years ago, like the mid 90's. (Had my NS-2A and my SVT with 2 8-10 cabinets with, a little overkill.)We were playing 2 weeks, the first week in Winnipeg, the second week in Thunder Bay. Without telling us, the leader of the band only got us all one week clearance to work in Canada when we went over the border. The Saturday of week 2 in Thunder Bay, the Border Patrol came and got us and deported us for working as illegal aliens. The band leader paid a fine for all of us, then we went and played the last night...It was awesome...
at least at school here when they do the little "Betcha didn't know this about_____" game at the beginning of the year, no one ever guesses I was "Deported from a country for working as an illegal alien".
That's a nice NS20004 you got there, the black on black makes it super stealth!
Mine's natural finish and I love the thing to death (though I have the haz-copy preamp, not the stock one)
Congrats all that got new basses!

You definitely are correct there stjohn. Just in this thread alone, a bunch of Spectors have been bought over the past few months and it's only going to get better. People will start getting their tax returns very soon and we all know what that means.....more Spector's. I will definitely be one of those people![]()

Very sweet with the inlays!!!I haven't put up any pictures of my NS-2A that i got from TimWilson not too long ago and i think it is time. Its seen its share of wear on it, but it is an incredible bass!!! From PJ, it has USA style inlays, USA hardware, upgrade EMG pickups, and a 9 volt USA circuit. I figured this is probably as close to an NS-2 that i will get without dropping the BIG BUCKS on a real NS-2. I'll probably get it refinished black again in the future sometime when i get some money saved up. Hope you guys enjoy this pics!
From an email i just got from PJ confirming:
thanks for the pics. a dressed up NS-2A....NS-2 style!
yes that looks like a USA 9v circuit in there.

I swapped out the EMG pickups for pickups made by SGD. The EMG-Hz's sounded ok, but these are more of a big fat passive p-bass sounding pickup than full range humbuckers. When i got it it was gutted, but I had a set of Hzs lying around, i assume they are all the same.
Very nice!!
