Pretty good, my numbers are recovering finally, have a biopsy next Wednesday if I am in remission from the last round of chemo I should be headed up to the U of M for my transplant in a couple of weeks...right now feeling almost back to human again, takes me a couple of weeks to get strength back after spending time in the hospital.

Thanks! I still believe the CRFMs to be the best bang for your buck in the used Spector world. Having said that, if you can score a Forte do it. There are a few subtle ingredients in the Forte recipe that take it above a CRFM. The not so subtle ingredient is that Stewart Spector is directly involved in crafting them. The magic, for me, seems to reside in the neck. Being a thin profile kinda guy, I was worried about the "baseball bat" reputation. Could not be further from the truth. Solid yes, baseball bat, no way. Its a small diference and mostly resides with the individual. If you own and play a CRFM, you are playing a fantastic sounding and feeling bass. If you own and play a Forte you really do have a USA NS2 that happens to be matte black and have a no inlay fretboard. The Aguilar OBP 2 happens to sound excellent in a Forte. Upgrading to the US 9 V kicks it up to growly tone nirvana.

+1! Good to hear that you weren't disappointed and that you're enjoying it! :D I think the Forte is way under rated. People look at the price and think,"I can get a Euro with all the bling on it for the same price or less." They don't realize like you just found out, it's really the NS-2 without the glitter. It's the next step. You can't believe what a difference being in the hands/over seeing of the "Master" builder, Stuart Spector, does make a big difference. :)

Your cat has an epic name. I love it!

:D Must say that is an awesome name for a cat! And it does look like he's sitting on his throne withe the NS-2A as his weapon/battle axe. :bassist:

Well I rocked the new bass tonight at practice. I had to play lighter than normal due to the lighter gauge strings. It's amazing... sounds great, plays great. looks great... my guitarist kept saying how much he loved it. He also said "if spector made guitars I'd buy one" BAM so now working on hooking up an ARC 6 for him. one guitarist down, one to go.... here is a little pic I took tonight.
