The NS-94 is like a "project bass" for me right now. She has some fret issues I will be working on soon. But still very impressed with the neck on it. Im sending you a PM with some leads you may be interested in.

But those sonic lows!!! Haha! I got too used to playing on a fiver and having all those octives. I love playing the middle of the neck, frets 8-21. There's so many notes in that area that I use mostly and still pop up to frets 1-5 on the B & E strings when I want those lows. That NS-95 SSD was a really special bass. So comfortable to play and sat against the body so nicely! Sold it to a fellow TBr though.

Beautiful! I feel your pain about not having a Spector dealer within hundreds of miles...:mad: :crying: I've bought all my Spectors sight unseen and unplayed, for total of 9. It's really exciting though receiving a new Spector and playing/hearing it for the first time. :bassist:

thats exactly how i got my ns-95. total blind buy from bass central. i initially wanted a "plum colored" bass i saw in a buyers magazine in the 90's. lol. well i didnt know it was a then $1200 czech made bass. :( so i then got the 95 and hadnt a clue what i was getting. it came and i immediately called beaver felton and told him it was the wrong color. lol. he sent me the "padauk" stain, which we thought was the plum color. so i sent it back, he sent the other one and it was the same bass. i said dont worry about it and i kept it. when i first started playing it, i was like "***" :eek: i didnt like the neck at first. but as i played it for about an hour or two, i was in love. :bassist: lol

see im more of the first 5 frets kind of guy. lol. and im not much of a slapper. i cant get that down very well. that 5er for the way i play got stretchy on the hands and fingers. but yeah, i agree, the way it fit on me, i sure miss that :( and the neck once i got used to it was a joy to play. :bassist:

Basstovsky - what model is that burst bass on the left? I'm a 5 string preference guy and have seen only a few Spector 5s that have that headstock vs the narrow one. I like it, now if if it came in a P/J or JH configuration I'd really be all over it.

Thanks! Best thing about them is that together I've only spent around $1000 total on them, the NS20005 just got inlay decals while the NS20004 had been gutted by the previous owner so I rebuilt it my way, Link Removed pickups, the Haz-copy preamp, dunlop straplocks, and of course the decal inlays. Also just got the US haz knobs I ordered through PJ, need to get a pic with those on it :D


There's a lotta droolworthy Spectors on this page, but I love the Green and black stjohn has, like the special Forte that never was...
