At a little shoe store in the Park Meadows mall here in Highlands Ranch. Chuck Taylors are the only shoes I wear onstage because they are the perfect shoe for playing Taurus pedals - narrow enough to allow you to hit only pedal at a time, and thin-soled enough to allow you to feel the pedals. I have quite a few sets of them in various rock-approved colors, including a leather pair in solid black and my faves, a pair in furry zebra stripe.

In case anyone didn't see this at the end of the last thread.


Anybody who has had these two basses care to comment on the sound and playabilty between the two. I'm still looking for the right NS2A but sometimes wonder if I would be better off saving towards the Euro? (this would take quite a while since I just started a new job at a pay cut) The only Spector I have played so far is my Legend 5. I'm thinking since I have enough now for a NS2A to go that route, upgrade over time, then get a Euro down the road. Any advice from you guys who've had both?

Have patience & save for the Euro.
I have one USA NS-4 and two Euros, and I firmly believe that the Euro is the best value in the Spector lineup, and one of the best basses you can buy, period.
My Euros offer about 90% of the tone of my USA Spector at about 50% of the cost, and that's really saying something. :bassist:

Lee, your NS-2 is absolutely stunning!!!


I just got back from my first rehearsal with my newly installed HAZ in my Forte 4.
I was absolutely floored by how my bass cut through everything with such precision! Every note was articulated to it's fullest. It is indeed an incredible pre-amp coupled with an incredibly crafted bass!!
All that through an Ampeg rig, the divine tone of the universe, it recreates the Schumann Cavity!

Beautiful no doubt. I just have never been able to get into bolt-on Spectors. I've never picked one up that felt or sounded the way the neck-throughs do. For the sound in my head that I want, the neck-throughs really nail it and the bolt-ons don't, with the exception for the JARs for some reason (that I'm sure someone can explain to me). I'm sure it's a design/feel thing. I wish they did because the re-bops look amazing and are a hell of a lot more affordable.

But without question, that's a really spectacular Spector.
