Thanks Brent, I totally forgot about that one. I wish they dedicated a bit more time to the Spector on that one since the first 6 minutes or so they are using the Aria bass. Ah, whatever. I will have one very soon so i will mess with it myself :)

I just received on loan for a guitar show on Sunday two very rare Spectors, both from the Kramer era.

One, owned and used by Nikki Sixx in the early days, has an interesting graphic on it.

The other, a one off MTV painted NS-2A that was used by Dweezil Zappa on MTV when he had his show. It was more for show then play, this thing is immaculate.

I'll take some pix later and post 'em here.

Oh, is the Nikki Sixx one a Spectorbird? I can't wait to see pictures.

I see you are in NJ. Is this guitar show in NJ by chance?
 
ok heres some new pictures of my bass! I wanted to know what kinda preamp was in it but as I was taking pictures and saw that its stamped EMG... =)

Just added a set of extra light labella deep talking flats and this baby is so funky!!

Question for the masses of Spector knowledge:

I traded my Carvin Icon 5 for a Euro 5LX on TB last year. I am SO happy with the trade. The Euro5 has a OBP-1 in it. That thing is HUGE, sound-wise. The only downside to it is that I have trouble dialing back the massive low end, and my low B distorts most amps. My Mesa rig can handle it, but it's still a bit muddy.
For those familiar with the OBP-1, would you recommend switching out preamps to clean up the lowest of lows? If so, which one would do the best job (TonePump, Haz, OBP-3, etc.)?

OBP-3!
