SPECTOR® Club - Part 33

Not open for further replies.
Thanks! I kind of went "obsesso" with the knobs on Whitey. I started with a set of gold knobs with real mother-of-pearl tops from Q-Parts, and then I embellished them by affixing a set of 4 small rubies as knob pointers. I got the idea from the jeweled knobs that Gretsch uses on their White Falcon models.

Knobs are super cool!!! :bassist:
 
A couple years ago I hesitated too long on NS4CFM with an unlined board at GC tagged at $699. I was on vacation and figured I'd wait til I got home.

No more hesitation for me if I see a good deal!
 
Thanks! I am really excited about it! I have heard the wait is 4-5 months for anything coming out of the US shop. I probably could have cut a bit off that time, as they had a a body already cut, routed and ready to go. I would have jumped on it, but it was already routed for soap bars and I really wanted the sound/look of traditional jazz style pickups.

+1 buddy! I can't wait to hear double J's on my Coda 5!! If I like that pup combo that might become my future arrangement. Even though I love my P/J's.
 
Hooooly....I missed out on part 32! Wow, this thread moves fast! :D

My wife had to have surgery on her ankle on Saturday. The bone didn't mend well at all after the first 2 weeks in the cast so they had to put in a plate. So it's back to square one.

I haven't been playing much over the last couple of weeks...trying to work full time and taking care of everything at home leaves me tired and with no time at all.
I managed to get a friend to come over and look after my wife so I finally had my first jam with the band last night and MAN that felt good!!!!!!!! Hearing the bass through the amp was very healing to me. I just stood there and sustained notes for a while with my head close to the amp... :)

Also, we booked our first show on June 7th!!! I'm already nervous! :bassist: :bassist:
We're playing 6 songs from our set list. Opening for a local band. The venue is pretty small, 200 people, but it's a beauty! :D Can't wait!!

I hope to be able to visit the thread more often now that things are a bit calmer...
Sorry to hear about your wife having to go back under the knife.
Welcome back bro! We missed ya!
That's awesome about your first booking! No sweat man...I find it easier and less nervous in front of 400+ than I do in small crowd gigs. Lol
Nothing like a Spector singing thru some Ampeg to clear your head, eh!
