SPECTOR® Club - Part 46

Good morning gang. I have a new USA 4 string bridge with intonation screws. I bought it from fellow club member Henry who never got around to using it. Same with me. I intended to use it for a project that never happened. As stated, it has never been mounted. It comes with 3 black wood screws. The old ones used gold screws. I'm not trying to make any money on this. Henry gave me a fantastic deal on it that I will pass on to any club member that wants it. $120 shipped. Please PM if interested.

Needless to say, I thoroughly enjoyed playing it. My Warwick necks are skinny with a 1.5 nut, so I think a Wimbish might be in my near future. just thought I'd give a report of my first impression in a band. Friday night I will use it out at a gig for a full three sets of tunes. More to come......

I'm with you on the 1.5 nut. Glad you had a good experience with the 4. Keep us posted, looking forward to hearing you guys.

You mentioned missing lows and low mids out of your warwicks bbj. And for that reason I do think wicks and spectors can and should coexist. My streamer II does sounds my haz euro couldn't and vice versa. When I get an ns2 one day it won't replace my warwick.

I am looking forward to comparing my Kramer NS2 to a Euro Wimbish. Seeing how close I can tweak the TP. If I can ever decide on a finish:hmm: My NS2 compared to my Thumb sounded much better and I like the electronics better. The Streamers sound better than the Thumbs to me though. I do not miss it.

Just did a black hardware swap (from gold) on Chris' old NS 4. Yay or nay?

Definitely a strong thumbs-up. I think the black goes well aesthetically with the burl. :bassist:

I guarantee you that my streamer jazzman sounds extremely different than a thumb. And like j.kern....said, there is room for Spector and Warwick in my stable, they do two different things as far as I'm concerned. This is how I call it in my own definition.....Warwicks growl, Spectors grind and musicman stuff bites.......lol

You know, I've been thinking about picking up a legend or Rebop, just to have something a little different tone wise.... I know the Rebops aren't as mid present, which leans me that direction

How are the US BO comparing to the standard spector tone? It seems most have TWs, which I know most of you don't like, but I think sound great...
