Hey guys,

I have some serious SAS pains going and there may or may not be some deals in the works. I'm putting my NS 2A up for sale. It's listed here in the classifieds for $470. Club members can have her for $400 shipped. Let me know!

Someone please buy this so I can stop hemming and hawing about it myself.

I wish I could pick up another white NS-2A...I still regret parting with mine!

If only. I'm trying to exercise restraint while I chase another Euro4.

Might take the ns2a over the euro. Esp. For the price .....

 

[Jaymi]

Hmmm.....Ns2A....Euro......I dunno, that's a tough one....

 

[grendle]

White, haz, black hardware .....done deal.

cant. stop. drooling.

1500 left in your pocket to find a mint used euro and have 2 spectors .........priceless!

So you guys prefer the NS-2A's over the Euro's? I am curious since I was looking at this for my daughter since I have started teacher her some things but, like her father, she is becoming a 5 string snob (those were Sam's words, lol.)

You, sir, are not helping this novel thing that my wife calls, um, "restraint".

I prefer my NS4CRFM over my NS-2A, but it has a Haz copy in it....

 

[Jaymi]

Most of the NS2A's have a HAZ copy in them as well...

I meant I wasn't as big a fan of it with the stock EMG pre....

 

[Jaymi]

ah

 

[5string_phunk]

Yeah, but you better be careful not to pick it up after reading the newspaper!
It would look nice, but I'd hate to try keeping it clean...

I am pretty careful to wash my hands before I play. ...and I also really like the used look! I started getting wear on my Forte and to me its looks even better!!

As a "5 string snob" I take offense to those words

Seriously, this 5 string obssesion is what's killing me - I have a REX5 that I love and I'd like to get another Spector (used in mint condition) for about $1000 give or take a couple hundred bucks. But it has to be a 5 string and I don't want another Spector with soapbars.
The REX5 is a keeper but the next one has to be different enough to warrent the purchase (I dont want matching bookends). So as best I can tell, that rules out the Rebops and NS2s and only leaves me with some really expensive and hard to find used American made P/J combos and a very inexpensive discontinued Korean model that has a J/Soapbar layout. Am I missing something?
Come guys, help me spend some money on another Spector

Will be posting pics of my Rebop 5DLX soon, but can anyone tell me what this is?

It just arrived at my local shop for $200!
