SPECTOR® Club - Part 29

To derail...

Oh god just saw on the website that the Plum color is available in matte finish as well!!!
...I think I know my next S.A.S. bass.......

Although the price list doesn't say what a custom finish costs, just custom wood tops

yeah. i love that plum color. but, it is a bit girly lol

 

[Jaymi]

I am all for the plum!!! Nothing girly about it! I have a bubble gum pink bass with LEDs that was made in the 80's in UK that is a real crowd pleaser. Color does not matter...I have used it for metal too

 

[bassgiant15]

I have/had a plum CR4FM. It's currently being refinished. It was a bit dinged up when I bought it. Very unique color though.

Plum isn't girly unless you bedazzle the whole thing with rhinestones. Plum alone with black hardware is rawkin'!

 

[steamthief]

I'm kind of "meh" on the plum, but the trans purple on the USA basses drops my jaw every time I look at it!

 

[sumgruuvz]

im only kidding about the girly thing yall! i think that its a very unique color. and sharp as heck! i'd own one in a heartbeat!

You wouldn't bedazzle it, though, right? Please say you wouldn't.

uuuhhhhhhh.....nah. i'd have to pass

First off congrats on the new bass! I put EMG HZ pups (not voiced as mid heavy as the SSDs) and a tonepump on my Performer. I loved the outcome! That would be my advice. you might even try just adding a preamp (tonepump is hard to beat at $100) that would surely beef up your tone.

Thanks! Got a Legend with HZ's and tonepump. hmm.. should I go for new 35DC on this one and pass down the HZ's and tonepump to the performer? thats food for thoughts

 

[Trailight]

Just recorded something with my NS-2 to see how it sounds...
I was feeling the funk....and some Flamenco

Clean sound. Plugged direct into the Sound Interface. No EQ. Slight Compression. Bass EQ: Treb-full, Bass-full, Blend-mid.

I will have to get a HAZ for my Forte and Euro now. I may even get one for my car....

jps
i was telling a story to icebox earlier that back in 97 when i was trying to order my first spector from bass central, beaver felton thought this was called the paduak stain. lol. we both found out other wise because this was the bass i initially wanted. i didnt have enough $ for that one at the time. but i got a good ns-95 out of the deal in paduak stain.

Oh man if your NS-95 was this color of plum that was gorgeous! When I think of plum I think of more purple-ish. Have any pics of the ole NS-95? Love to see it! Here's a pic of my old NS-95.

Nice! I love that little bit right around the 0:29 second mark. Well done.

Thank you thank you thank you than you.
Needs a lot more accuracy and work though ...

On another note... I remember now why I though the "Black Album" sounded so good!

I was all ready to try the Cobalts on my Euro 5 today but I had very recently put Fat Beams on it and after playing it with those on I have to stick with this for a whole. Best DR strings I've used yet.

Cobalts will make those Fat Beams sound like Flats.
