woohoo!!!!





So..... I sent an email to MrBassie's finish guy Chris Bavaria today to get a quote on a new finish for my forte 5. I gots to admit that the matte black is really groing on me. But how cool would a gloss stain look with that no inlay neck? Anybody want to help pick a color? I'm currently infatuated with a gloss walnut brown stain over quilt maple NS2 that used to be on the spector site, but I can't find it today.

The black matte finishes are super cool. The other benefit is you can go black without fingerprints!

What does the finish guy charge and does he do it for anyone?

A reminder, if anyone is planning on doing a My Spector Story.

Feel free to contact me if you need help in editing the footage together.

Just send me your raw video footage along with any song clips that you want to be included and I will be happy to edit it for you.

It has been a while since Patrick received a submission from a Talkbass club member.

We all love our Spectors in this group.

This is a place to share it with the world.

And remember you get to be on the same page as Doug Wimbish :hyper:and me. ;)

If anyone isn't familiar with the My Spector Story page on Spectorcentral. Check it out

Okay, in Lincoln on our way home, a couple of things, Alex Webster on the page is so awesome, along with all the rest of you. I have honestly gone on the page everyday to lift my spirits and all of you and your wishes mean as much to me as anyone on the page.

I thought that metal bass was paint also, that's crazy cool!

My sister is a match we found out today, there was a 1 in 4 chance she could be a match (she believes in signs, right after we got the news "One in a Million" by Trixter came on the radio, how often does that come on? I was reminded that Chantale loved that song, her matching really did make her one in a million and that PJ plays a white Spector - like the one in the backseat from you guys. opened for them back in the day, PJ was really cool, he plays Spectors, how can he not be?)

Chantale was hopefully going to match on most of the markers they test so we could use it. She was a perfect match on EVERY marker, which means her marrow is identical to mine (with out the leukemia) and makes things much easier and gives us a much better chance at this thing working and curing me forever, so like Sam and I say we can be 2 old men in our rocking chairs talking about how they don't build basses like they used to and how these young kids can't play like the old guys...

Thanks again guys for all the well wishes, don't know what I would do with out you all.

White Ian Hill kicks booty. I have my Rotosounds on it now, plays and feels "right"...

As I just posted on Facebook.

Chris, not surprised by that sign at all.

It all makes sense in the world of Spector Healing. :bassist:

P.S. I expect that to be noted in your My Spector Story which I expect you to have completed after you are 100% healed. :D
