SPECTOR® Club - Part 28

[bunkaroo]

Don't worry. I still play my Euro's just as much so all of my basses get pretty much equal playing time. The NS-5 definitely has a chunkier neck than the Euro's but I find it more comfortable to play and can fly around the neck if that makes any sense at all. Even though the neck is fatter, it's more comfortable to me so I really like the feel of it.

I really do love the 18V HAZ circuit though and have been messing with the different settings quite a bit. On my Euro's with the tonepump, I turn the treble all the way down since I am really not a fan of the sound but on the NS-5, I boost it a bit and have been getting a great tone.

I'm just letting you know now, if I ever get the scratch together to order a brand new NS-6XL, I'll be asking for the same finish your NAMM one has.

Wait no longer...

Nice! Theres a 4 string rebop in that zebra wood finish local to me in Winnipeg if anyone is interested. The guy is asking $600 firm, it's been on kijiji for a good month but hasn't moved. I'd pick it up myself but I'm looking for a 5 string.

I sorta did the same thing... Lol

Just thought I'd chime in here guys..... Chuck Levinson in Maryland has a crazy sale on authentic Spector signed LXs.... They were going to sell me a Buckeye burl top 6lx for $3300! These things go for like 5g's..... So hurt I can't afford it lol

Is it this one?

[Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

If it is, this is not the 5G bass, that would be a USA buckeyed burl XL

This one is a Euro 6LX, list of like 3,999.

I might have the wrong one though, Info on it if this is not the one Please, I would be very interested in a matching 6-Xl in Buckeyed Burl to my NS-4

Sweet! I can't wait to see how they all turn out.

Where's Patrick??

That's a very good question, must be some super-secret Spector project he's working on or something, he hasn't popped in in quite a while it seems, days.

I was also wondering if that quote (LX) had been mistyped.

Jaymi has an awesome collection of Spectors!

 

[Jaymi]

Thanks! They thump and of course, I am always looking for more!! Lots of music to be played..

The New iPad arrives today! On the truck and out for delivery!

Almost bought one at target this morning but I had to hold off. My car is in the shop and I'm waiting for an estimate. I figure it will be between $50 and $5000.

I was planning on posting that, looks like I got beaten to it! Incredible playing for sure. I didn't think Dan could amaze me more than he already had with his work with BTBAM... And of course his tone is awesome as always. His NS5XL is beautiful!

Yeah it is!

I remember Jim E. talking about it "it's a bit thick... I like it.. Feels like a bass"

Loved playing that bass.... Can't tell you enough lol

Made me want a neck thru USA and 18pre!

I'm pretty sure that's a euro with a zebra top. If I recall.. It's not his but someone else's that he was using.

He had it with another project and they had studio pics back in the MySpace days lol

Here we go.... In the MySpace studio pics from the band Orbs Link Removed

Now...let the recording begin!

Now...let the recording begin!

Nice!



PS: ....get an otterbox

I've gone thru 2 iPads because I've dropped and put dents in the corners smashing the volume rockers in....

 

[iceboxbass]

I don't know how I feel about all you guys having had your hands on my soon to be new girlfriend.

I just hope it doesn't put me off my Euros too much but don't think it will. I'll have the 5XL for the US Haz/DC sound, my Euro 5 and 6 for the Tone Pump/TW sound and Euro 435 with the Tone Pump and P/J setup. I should be good with those for while.....*should*.

Oooh....it'll spoil ya bro! I'm willing to say that it'll become your main go to bass. Haha! Once you go USA there's no turning back! Congrats! I'm very jealous!

Got mine also but the only lettering mine says is "iPad"

Nice!

Man, I was going to get one of those but they are $90. I am sure they really protect it but I have to think about that for a bit

EDIT Hold that thought, they sell them at Best Buy and I have a $50 gift card for that place. I will pick one up tomorrow morning then.
