...after looking over the neck size chart, I am about to send an email to spec out a new bass...
I usually go thru BassCentral and they have treated me right, who do you guys order your special order Spectors thru??

Whew, I am glad you were able to find it
I was looking around but wasn't having luck so thanks for posting that.
Last two thru Beaver @BC!great guys!
Yeah I have always been happy with BC, but just curious as to who everyone uses!
Looks just like the one I picked up last week!

A lot of early run spectors (different series as well) didn't have sn#'s etc. Some are in different places. Check the controlled cavity.
This one was been home through with a fine toothed comb....this dates back to the very first without serial numbers.
...so the dilemma begins...do I sell my Forte to fund a custom order bolt on 5'er... any thoughts?
What kind of BO 5'er you lookin' at?
I played an NS-5H-2 once for a while (was borrowing it) and aside from the TW-pickup situation, it was an amazing bass. I love the standard NS body design, but that bolt-on setup was a nice change of pace.

A Spector NS-5HJJEX Redwood top, black hardware, Two jazz pickups (maybe J/MM), OBP-3 and the neck profile of Alex Webster's Signature model.
I just need to sell a few things to get it rolling...unfortunately, my Forte might be on that list...

I'm sure people are digging change from the couch and checking their bank accounts as you speak.... lol
I love my Forte, but I am finding that I really like a five string and I find most of the gigs in this area require a 5. ...the only thing holding me up is my love for my Forte! LOL!
I had the NS-2J-AR reissue thing for a while. The J/J EMG setup on a Spector was way better than I thought. My next bass from them will probably have that setup.
