Oh, you must not know Sam too well :) He knows every Spector being sold across the country and has most likely tried to get all of us to but one of them at some point, LOL.

I was just thinking how cool it was that I mention I bought Spector and not only did he know which one, but he also provided pictures. How cool is that!

Sam is like the Master/Blaster of Spector trading... except instead of like being the big dude who carries the little dude around... he's just one kick-bootay package.

Or take that dude "The Night Rider" from the first Mad Max movie... genetically morph him with "The Toecutter" - The same movie... and then add the Lord Humungous from "The Road Warrior" and the "Wez" character from that movie... but not the version of that character from "The Road Warrior" but the version of "Wez" that showed up in Gary's living room in "Weird Science".
Yeah. That and Harry Canyon, the cab driver in "Heavy Metal".
Mmmmm.
That's about it.

Did I mention Sam is totally cool?

I was wondering who picked up that natural finish beauty. I had been watching that for a while... but didn't pull the trigger because I found a pretty sweet 5-string.

I was also watching it...trying to force myself to like it. But the wood grain was kind of plain, I did get the natural I wanted....It will be here Monday!!!....but for $799 that was a very good price. :bassist:

Here's a shot from a recent concert. Right before I brought the hammer down!

Man I love how Spectors look even in black and white. They instantly add class and attitude. I'd like to see some more live pics from everyone! \m/

It's hilarious that you mention the first Mad Max movie since it was just on the other day and I had to watch it again. I hadn't seen it in a while so I was definitely due for another viewing.

Speaking of TONE...I remember in the last section there were a few talking about the ole Haz that we all know and love. Lima put out an awesome soundcloud file of his new NS 2 in the mix.

I started thinking about what drew me in to Spector all those years ago. Certainly Inez and Starr but it was mostly Eddie and Rachel. Here's two youtube clips that I feel really personify the NS 2 and Haz (for that matter) in the mix. Just lean, mean, f*&king grind. To me, this is what the bass should sound like. Put on some headphones and enjoy:
