Ah, yes. NBD. That day is TODAY for me.
My Alex Webster sig model will be delivered by the brown truck sometime this afternoon.
They say 1:15 - 5:15pm, but they never show up before 6:00pm.
I wonder if the delivery guy knows it's my Spector? Maybe he'll come sooner... :D

Right on, man. Can't wait to hear your review. I just put my Warwicks up for sale in the classifieds and will be buying another Spector, hopefully soon!

Sweet! Amos (sumgroovz) just sold his Warwick; it got a little dicey, and he was worried that it wasn't gonna sell...
There are a lot of proud Warwick owners on TB; every time I mention the dozens of Spector converts on here, they quickly reply with a retort about how they all tried Spectors, and are still in love with their Warwicks!
Maybe one of them will buy yours!!! :bassist:

Hey guys. I can't take it anymore. My Rebop gave me a taste and I need more. I now need a Euro badly and I have my sights on a few. I just listed my two Warwick Thumbs in the classifieds, so if you know anyone please send em' my way. Appreciate it!

it sounded good, but was just uncomfortable to play. no contour on the body. neck felt a little funky. just not what i thought it was going to be. completely different from the badass basses known as spector. :bassist:
good luck selling those wicks. if theyre german made, you probably wont have any trouble with them.

That's the FIRST order of business, once I unpack it!

I'm saving the box to use when I ship my Euro5 to the lucky new owner...it's only a matter of time!

This bass has been a mystery on TB for a while, so I'll be proud and happy to share some "real deal" pics and info, and educate the masses (including myself) on its ability to transmit terror in the low register!!!! :bassist:

You'll never regret it bro! :bassist: I'm 110% happy with my USA Spectors! Couldn't imagine anything else I'd want to play! :ninja:

You won't be disappointed. The USA NS-5(XL) is just an extremely stellar instrument.

Man I've been back and forth on 5/4 for years . I've always kept at least one 5 , mainly the trans red rex5 . But kinda itching for another euro 5 .
Click to expand...
I had been doing that the last 2 years and suddenly it struck me! I keep going back to the 5r's and neglecting the 4's more and more. When I didn't have a 5r around, I realized how much I really missed them. After all you can do everything on a 5 that you can play on a 4 but not visa versa.

spector_boogie said:
The more I look at them in these threads, the more the Forte 5 really appeals to me. Now if I could just find one used.... :hiding::hiding:

Well I told you I'm NOT selling mine. Haha! ;)

Sounds cool! Bass is solid. Is your NS-2A stock???

And you're right about getting out of the comfort zone. That's the beauty of music - you never stop learning new tricks!

Ya got that right! Two weeks ago our lead guitard in our church band wanted us to start using a different beat style...at first my thoughts were, oh maaan! But after putting a positive mind into it, I found it quite fun! Plus I learned something new!

brotherbassj said:
Yes and there is a pretty one in the classifieds within 3 hours from me that I have my sights on!

I just got an ns2000/4 and while its an awesome bass and I dont have the funds to try an American, I would never get rid of my Warwick for a Spector, sorry guys but sound wise (at least for me) the $$ gots what I needs, now on the other hand in the looks department, Spectors always got me droolin.
