Your probably right or a TP because I like them OK and I never have used the EMG stuff in a Spector.
You know I may not like a Euro LX5 as much as my Rebop?

I think you would love a Euro 5LX with a trim pot tonepump. It definitely feels different than the Rebop but both have their strengths. I have one of each and love them both so neither of them are going anywhere.

Boom. Can you name the scene from rocky four? Ain't pop culture grand?

He's out for a solo night cruise in his "sothpaw" sports car while he mulls over all the trials and tribulations of his life that have brought him to where he is... and will fuel him to where he must go :eek:

I didn't see him playing his 1st Spector :rollno:

Here's a pic of my BDDI with the Putnum mid control added. It's the unmarked knob on the bottom left. I have it set for a little mid-scoop now as it goes into a GK pre that has the mids a little forward. It works pretty well as I have a clean GK sound on channel 1, hit the BDDI and add some Ampegish color. Hit channel 2 on my 2001RBP and have an awesome distortion.:bassist:
Anyway Mike does great work. I'm not sure if the mid-control hits the same frequency as the RBI or not. Mike said his scope was down at the time and he adjusted the range by ear. As soon as I get some extra coin I'm going to have him mod my Tech 21 Oxford to have a blend control and the "Jimmy M" mod which will give it better low end.

Wow, that is great work that he did. It looks like it is part of the pedal and no mods were made at all.

I finally had a spare moment to post a pic of my set-up. Spector NS2A, Spector Legend 5 W/haz copy, >GK 2001RBP>Carvin HD1500>fEARful 12/6 & 12/sub. I was hoping to upgrade to a 15/sub but the deal fell through. I'm also looking to switch out the BT pre in the NS2A for either a haz copy or TP. The BT just seems to clear for me, I like a lot of grunt/grind.

No matter what these basses really play and sound great. Sometimes it's hard for me to grasp how great a Euro 4XL or USA NS-2 must sound. I know they must be an upgrade to what I have, but damn, for the price I paid for mine they sound awesome!!!! :bassist::bassist:

+1. I might look into getting this done at some point. If you don't mind me asking, how much did he charge? (feel free to PM if this shouldn't be discussed here). I intend to play around with it a bit more before deciding anything, of course.

I totally hear you. My two legend classics absolutely smoke. Great tone, and they play great too. Korean spectors are some of the best bang for your buck basses in the under $1000 range IMO

He charged $60 shipped. His pricing is on his website. You can even e-mail him for a mod that's not listed and he'll price it out for you if he can do it. Great CS, he returned every e-mail I sent fairly promptly.

He lives near me, and I've done business in person with him. I'll definitely go back to him. He biased my SVT-III Pro and ended up tightening down some internal features and fixing a handle at no extra charge. Great guy. ;)
I highly recommend him.

Very nice! How do you like the fEARfuls? And what do they cost?

I really like them. I build them myself so the cost was lower than having a builder do the work. I probably have between $8-900 in the pair. The can put out a lot of volume for their size. Down the road I would like to get a micro amp to have for a back-up or small gig amp. I can do most of my stuff with just the 12/6 alone. The rack amp is a little overkill then. The 12/6 with a 500W micro would be great for a lot of gigs. I swear the 12/6 with enough power is pretty close to as loud as my old SWR Goliath II at less than 1/2 the weigh. (40 lbs)

That's not bad at all! Thanks for the info on your experiences with him too. Once I've got the $ together (the pedal was the last of my spending money for a little while) I'll shoot him an email. I'll have a nice modded BDDI for less than what a new one would have cost me! Awesome! :bassist:
 
#599
Thanks guys! The video was a lot of fun to make. All this talk about sans amp is making me want to grab my RBI and put it back in my rack to try at jams!

cable guy: I like that mods to the BDDI. Im wondering what kind of mods your guy could do to a RBI, or anything else for that matter.

This is a track I've been messing around with for a while now and finally decided to record it. It still needs some work.

All bass, Spector NS-2. The keyboard sounds at the beginning and the end are made by using my Boss Harmonizer...tweaking the knob between the 5th to 6th to 3rd and back to 5th.

Best if heard with headphones...
