Ahhh so much information in this thread! I was just gonna ask about Tone Pumps, Haz Labs and other Spector-ish preamps. Woke up to 4 pages on the subject.
lol, we try
Going back and forth about a new bass, Spector or maybe not...
One of the basses on my "Bucket Bass List", those basses I want to own someday has come up for sale and now I am going back and forth...
Gosh, I wonder what advice you guys would give me....
lol it's all good, I have a few non Spectors on the bucket list as well, nothing wrong with that. Different flavors for different things. A B-quad, a Surine and a few others are on mine.

Something is wrong with my monitor, it is showing funny words like "a new bass, Spector or maybe not..."
That's not different, that is kind of a "Signature model", Mr. Carlton Armstrong, and unless I am wrong this is #4, Right? They are awesome looking basses, that is for sure!!

Maybe you should get an Apple
Just kidding, LOL.I have been saving for another Spector, But I found a 6 string MTD in the wood combo/color I would get if I were to get one used, at a good price in great condition, just has me wondering what to do. I have to wait a couple of days for the Tax money to come back, so maybe it will sell before I have the $$ and I will be back to saving for another Spector.
Maybe one of those "Carlton Armstrong" signature basses, those are really awesome looking.
in a 6 string....
Or a Forte 6 string....
or wait and save a little longer for a NS-6xl....
Oh man that will be very nice once complete! Throw on a Gold Bridge and some black knobs... Watch out!!!
Actually it's still 3.I had some work done on it, including a refin of the red matte to gloss.I didn't know how big a difference the gloss made to the tone,now that I do,I had to do it.I'm trying to make all three basses "feel" as close as possible.Being that they're hand made,they where a little different.So I needed made make some adjustments.I think all the specs on this one should be right.Once I get the red one back,the black one goes back!It's been a long time getting these basses together,I'm 2/3 done!
Awesome man! Those have the 9 volt Hazlab for the Preamp, Right?
Man, makes me want to get a new bass bad...

You got some tough choices!I'd go Spector 6XL. Get your dream bass the way YOU want it!
So this might be a dumb question, we heard when we were going back and forth about the LE bass how expensive the Spector Inlays are, if you want a bass without them, is the price discounted?
Here's my problem. I like the look of the Forte, but I really like the gloss option, but on a 6 string I would like to have no inlays....
questions...questions...questions...
I think you are right though, Always been a Spector guy, a 6XL done "My Way" would be really Awesome.
Discount?Ha!It was a problem I had when I wanted one inlay.They charged me more for less!The gloss price would put a Forte in the XL price point (maybe 2 or 3 hundred bucks and they won't gloss a Forte) if your that close,you may as well spend the money and have them do the things to a XL that they won't do on a Forte.Like pick up options,wood choice,color,inlays and preamp to name a few.I had many things done on my bass that you can and can't see.
