Missed your new bass day man, sorry and congrats!

I was going to say the same thing, I thought there was a younger guy who got one from Bass Central a while back, had a nice story about his parents laying it away for him maybe? If my memory is right....Great bass though man, EVIL.

and +1 on the black fingers, when I got a Doug Wimbish Signature a couple of years ago the strings turned my fingers really black.

No kid should ever own a Webster, unless he saved up $3K delivering papers or making fries...
I had to EARN that thing!!!
:D

Sweet Alex Webster bass man. Yeah, all Spector's come strung with Spector nickel strings so that would explain why your hands started turning black after playing for a while. To be honest, I really like the Spector nickel strings though and will most likely put them on my Euro 5LX when it is time to change the Hi Beams.

I believe there was a younger kid in here a few months ago that had an Alex Webster bass and had pictures of himself playing it at a school recital. It was funny seeing a blood stained bass being played at a school thing like that :)

Seeing those knobs makes me want to drop a BQC into my Euro 5LX. Those are the stock EMG knobs that come with the pre and are really cool looking. And anything thinking it's a lefty bass, he is most likely using a web cam so everything looks backwards on it.

Ah-HA! I knew someone would have the answer!
Thanks, John!
I'll try to get a sound clip going soon, as the sound of that BQC is very unique. I can see it becoming popular!
 
Wow, dude, that is frackin' awesome! I'm starting to wonder if the blood paint job is unique on each bass. Of course, still using the same idea as designed, but perhaps each one needs to be done custom. For some reason, yours looks different. Maybe I'm crazy. Killer bass... literally! :bassist:

Actually I think they are all the same, designed by our own JPS!!

Does anyone have a set of EMG 35 P and J pickups lying around that they would like to trade for a set of DC's????? Four string naturally...

No but I just ordered a set for my NS-4. IT plays so good, if I can just get it to sound the way I want I might not be trying to get rid of it.

Dude that bass is just too cool for words.

I saw your NS-2 the other day when you posted and didn't get a chance to say welcome to the club and that is a beautiful bass. You have got to love the Amber!!

Speaking of Amber, I have been waiting to see pictures of an ultra amber NS-2...Soon? :hyper:

A bit different then my usual sounds clips enjoy. :bassist:

Someone said that Patrick designed the blood pattern. I checked a few pics, and they all appear to be the same, including the one Alex is playing. :)
 
Looks like I have a buyer for my Wick 5. One step closer. Now I need to decide if a Euro 4 or 5 is going to be the right choice to scratch the itch. I have the Rebop 5 now, so I'm thinking maybe a 4, but I've been playing a 5 80% of the time. Hmmmmmm????

The more I play my 5s, the less I play my 4.
If you're interested in a Euro5, I can help with that ;)

Even though I own 2 Euro LX basses and have been posting here for years, I've never asked for a number.
I am now asking for an offical Spector Club Membership number because I just read those three magic words on the UPS site - "Out For Delivery".

My long awaited USA NS4 will arrive sometime today...

Nice! NBD is the best (and all of the rest of us can live vicariously...) :D
