Well Ive been playing on this thread now for a few weeks. I wasnt going to ask for a number but now I will since I'll be number 300!! So do I get to be 300?? Please?? :hyper:

I have a Euro4LX, I posted a couple pics a few weeks ago.

#300 would be SWEET!!! :bassist:



Here... I added this pic just for kicks and giggles...... My boy is 11 months old taking birthday pictures for invitations. We're doing a "rockstar" party for him! Of course my Spector gets some attention as well.

One other thing to consider about this situation you had. If I am not mistaken, the Ibanez 5 strings are 34" scale except for the BTB series which is 35" scale. Since the Rebop you played is 35" scale, you might not be used to the different scale sizes just yet. There definitely is a difference at first but you get used to it very quickly.

If the Rebop felt comfortable to you, that is a good thing I would think. I will say there is a difference in necks between the Rebops and Euro neck thru's though. I have one of each and the Rebop definitely feels like a much faster neck to me as opposed to the Euro 5LX I have but my Rebop is older so it is possible they may have changed the profile a bit in the more recent years.

I started on a Jazz neck, went to a Euro neck, went to a MM Sterling neck, and now back on a Euro neck. I've had no problems getting comfortable on Spector necks, if a neck is carved right, you'll feel comfortable on all but the thickest necks.

I just emailed the seller about this bass, but I was wondering if anyone on here could enlighten me as to the model? Is this legit and/or as good a deal as it seems? The only neck-thru Spectors I've ever seen cost a LOT more than this.

Could be a NS 2000/4 model. They were the neck through predecessors to the modern legend series. The price seems about right (I think, I'm no expert) seeing as how it's a Korean model. Really solid basses from what I've gathered.

Holy crap, 64 people have joined since I have. I feel old. Well, not really old, just surprised at how much this club has grown since then. Ah, you know what I mean.

looks like an ns-2000, many here have or have had this model and it is a great bass... That seems like a good deal!

An updated version of the NS-94&#8482; Model.

We call it the NS-2000&#8482; Body Shape.

The newer TP comes with the two tone pots attached. So you'll need two 25K volume pots.

If you have any problems with the installation or if you have other questions, just PM me or Sam (Lima) and we can help you get through it.

I'm having surgery on my knee this morning at around 10. So I'll be out most of the day. But I plan on laying around by the computer and working on websites this weekend.

Thank you guys for the info. I'm waiting to hear back from the seller, but I think I'm going to move on this if I can!

Yep an NS2000 their great, not the NS2 body shape is all. Still comfy and plays well. The neck profile on mine and the others like that that I have played is more like the US profile than any of the others. Stuck an emg 35 p/j & tone pump in mine. It kicks butt.

Hmmmm, I mentioned Vol/Vol in many posts ago and it got lost in all the talk..... Glad I see you did it and its working great. :smug:
Click to expand...

Yeah lol.... I still prefer master vol/blend, bit it was much easier installing two vols vs. all that extra wiring and soldering.... And everyrhing works great!

Happy to hear it turned out ok. :hyper: :D

Was there any problem fitting the TW's into the SSD cavities?

Cant wait to hear some sound clips :bassist:
Click to expand...

I had to file the pups down a bit to fit in the cavaties, so mibe weren't drop in replacements... The bridge pup cavity was larger than the neck cavity, so i had a file quite a bit off of the neck pup. Its still a somewhat tight fit but the adjustment screws work fine. The EMG Quick-Connect thing helped a lot too. It took some of the soldering out of the process. The little black clips are easy to remove for threading wires, and you can solder direct to the PCB; the locations were clearly labeled and easy to find. I took a bunch of pics, including my minor filing injury, but I'm on my phone right now... I'll post them later if anyone is curious. Clips coming tonight! :bassist:

Good Luck Patrick,

Gently rube the back of your NS-4 and NS-2 over the area when you get home 2-3 times a day. ;)
