SPECTOR® Club - Part 36

[NOLA Bass]

Make sure it's the right 10k pot. I believe it's a reverse taper pot and I had a tough time finding one.

Darn, it doesn't say anything about reverse taper. I may have gotten the wrong one....

You want a C10k pot. I got mine at Invalid Link Removed, but I think you need to call to get one that has the soldering tabs versus the on that goes on circuit boards. And the knurled shaft unless you want to change knobs.

Super Cool Gentlemen

I think I may be a little unhinged but...
I recently picked up an old NS2000 in perfect condition (for £100!). This particular model was my introduction to Spector about 8 years ago but it was long sold, much to my regret. I find I actually prefer the NS2000 to my Euro. It just feels sturdier and I love the EMG HZ sound.
I love it so much I am trading my Euro for a brand new Rex - pics to follow soon hopefully!

Does anyone else on here prefer the HZ pickups? I know they are generally considered to be the inferior species of EMG - but I find 'my' tone easier with them.

I may have my first Spector tonight. Going to look at a late 80's Spector....very excited!

“Diry” Ray Scheuring who plays with Brett Michaels actually puts EMG HZ’s in all of his Spectors. He has a Rex, Euro 4LX and a ForteX all with EMG HZ’s.

Good luck! My late 80's NS-2 KILLS!

I actually like the HZ's and the trim pot tone pump

So today was a great day for me. Today Steve (smadder) drove up from atl to bring my new bass! It was a great visit, yet short lived unfortunately. It was quite a blessing meeting a new friend and receiving such a beautiful instrument! Thanks again Steve! I'll post pics when I'm done playing it lol

 

[brotherbassj]

Steve is a great all around guy and I have found him to be an excellent resource as well as a kind, generous and patient person. Kudos for smadder ....aka Steve!

 

[peledog]

My Legend Custom 5 is off to Denver. Can't wait for the JAR, Wilson!!

I'll have to go check out all the music links in the thread recently.

In the meantime, here's a link to the good fellow who purchased the Legend 5.

Congrats on the new bass, I assume a Euro 5LX?

Wow, Steve, A Spector delivery service hmm I am liking that idea.

The EMG Hz's really depend on preamp/electronics I've found. With the EMG BT system modded to 18v in my NS20005 they sound GREAT.

In my Schecter 8-string, they sounded AWFUL. Still trying to figure out how to get a good sound out of it...
