SPECTOR® Club - Part 38

[iceboxbass]

Now everyone has to admit....Lee just offered me one hell of a favor!!!

No doubt! That's huge!

 

[jarrod cunningham]

maybe cheaper...I had to tell him initially that it was not a 1500 bass like he thought....he told me to make an offer....

He started it out at 2799 and I emailed him too . He had it listed as a vintage ns2 USA made . Lol

 

[jarrod cunningham]

I've owned more than 15 great 5-string basses, and I always end up selling them and going back to what I was raised with... 4-strings.

Please shoot me a PM if you have an interest in capturing the elusive "White Whale"... a 1995 USA SSD era NS-5P (piezo option) for $1875 PayPal shipped ConUSA lower 48.

This one weighs in at 10 lb 7oz... pretty light for a whale

Here's a few teaser pics...

That is killing me !!!!!

I am loving the tone and feel of the JAR. Lightest Spector I have ever played@ 8.1lbs. Extremely punchy. I thought the EMG BT circuit was a little too polite. The TP took care of that nicely. Now it's mean and growley , if you need it to be.

Next, in a couple of months will be the Diechris tribute model. The silverburst! Using this CRFM as the foundation.

Be a shame to cover that black quilt !!!!

I'm starting to really SAS for a legend X... with tonepump and active EMGs.... It would be nice to have another "bird" style bass. I think they fit me well.

I think that body style grows on me the more I see it!

do they not make p/u covers in black for those?

Not the original Dimarzio's, these are the old ones from the late 70's, back when they still said "patent applied for" on them, the real deal and monstrous sound.

As far as I know it is only in recent years you could get Dimarzio pickups in a color other than cream, all the vintage instruments I've seen with Dimarzios were this color.

(plus the original NS-2 basses had these exact cream-colored ones in them [Invalid or Expired Link Removed])

I could conceivably buy new Model P+J's in black, but I don't think they sound as fat as the originals, and they are less growly in my experience.

Wow, I work one night shift & miss 6 pages! Congrats to all who picked up new Spectors recently!

In baby! Someone asked about my trussrod cover last thread, here's a picture of it.

LOL Very true. Actually that picture was taken in very bright light. Under regular indoor light, the bass looks solid gloss black.

That was me. Pricey, but well worth it. Larry does really nice inlay work. IMHO, Spector should make these standard equipment on USA NS-2 and NS-4 basses. I plan on ordering one soon for my USA NS-4.

Question; Did you have to send in your old cover, or did Larry supply a new one with the inlay work?

I sent him the cover from my NS-4 ( in the picture), the one I had him do for my incoming NS-2 I just ordered a new cover from Spector (like $20$ and had him do it so I would have it when it gets here.

Turn around time was only like a week- week 1/2.

 

[Tupac]

Anyone here happen to know about Flea's Spector? I know he played Spectors very frequently (almost exclusively) from about 86 to 89. I don't know if it's the same one he recorded Mother's Milk with, but here's a video of him going ham on one.

Here's my new pic for the new thread.
Apparently this pic blew up on Facebook. Hope you guys like it too.
