I'm going to try the new Rebop at BPL this weekend. That being said, I was thinking about calling it the Mmbop. Maybe not.
I received my former Forte 5 in less than 4 months which I really wasn't expecting that quick. It feels like with your very first special/custom order Spector it takes forever and time stands still, but the next time(s) it goes by quicker. Though with waiting for my new Coda 5 Deluxe I find that I'm getting really anxious! Mainly I think because I've been waiting almost 2 years to play a Coda let alone own one. Any day now!Hi all,
I'm curious to know if any of you have received a special order before the 4 month wait with any of your Spectors that were ordered?
Since placing my Euro order with GuitarHouse last week it seems like time has stopped and these 4 months are going to go by really slow till I have that baby in my hands.
That is outstanding! Great to know there's companies like this still out there.Some of you may remember the issue I had with the M4 Xtender that I posted about in the last thread.
Although we somewhat agreed to disagree on the dangers of extending the tuning post (to match the length of the other tuners), I want to give big ups to Bill Woolery at Hipshot for fantastic customer service!
Even thought they really don't offer this service anymore, he had me send in my Xtender, did a one day turnaround extending the post the needed length to match the others, and I had it back in only a little over a week. All at no charge.
Once again, big ups to Bill Woolery and Hipshot.

That's catchy.
Don't let it get you down zitch...it's because there's so much Spector goodness to try out there it's hard to stay with just one. Especially since its not like Fender where you can run down to the nearest music store around the corner and pull it off the wall and play it to see if that one is for you or not. Everyone is exploring until they find "that one" they'll keep for life. Until Spector reveals that next got to have bass!!! :scowl:
Mbop would sound all right I think...instead of MmBop.I'm going to try the new Rebop at BPL this weekend. That being said, I was thinking about calling it the Mmbop. Maybe not.

Good deal, can't beat good customer service.
nah. don't do that. there's a couple of Spector ho's on here, but they're opinionated knowledgeable and a supportive group. stick around, look at pretty basses and shoot the sh*t. I don't even own a Spector anymore, but this is still the thread i always check in on every day. the only other group here that come close is the LOG.
Yep, and thanks to the members that are able to get these basses to make available and share with the rest of us. Without that we would never be able to obtain our "dream Spector" Then the only benefit from this group would be "knowledge talk" and complaints about hoarders, dreaming of the unobtainable bass. It's nice to know that when you want a nice Spector bass you have a trustworthy place to acquire one that would more than likely cost you double somewhere else.
If you like 12s, check out the Hartke Hydrive 112. Killer cab, super flexible, and has variable impedence. You can run it at 4ohms by itself or switch it 8 ohms to add a second cab with it. I love mine! More low end thud than my 210 cab used to have, but without the weight and size of a 15.

Funny!
It's funny like "Hmm..."
About a 18 years ago, our town had a flood and as a part of it, there were huge water conservation efforts. The Water Department Director actually went on TV to tell area residents, "If it's yellow, let it mellow..."
A low point for our little Midwestern community, for sure.

Don't get discouraged. I do understand what you mean. I have been through my fair share of basses. Some members just have more access to $$$ lol besides they allow the Spector used market to have more variety
If I had to guess, I would say aluminum. I have an NS-JH5 and the bass is light so that leads me more to believe it's not brass.
Here is what it says on the Spector site:
Black aluminum hardware including Gotoh GB7E tuners and the Hipshot Type A bridge.
I think that is a mis-print though since mine has a Type B bridge and the newer bolt-ons come with the type A bridge.
Edit: Here is a picture of the bridge that is on my NS-JH5 so maybe it will help.

Ok, so finally I can join the famous Spector club.
Got a ReBop 5 today. And I am extremely impressed!
Love it love it love it!
As primarily a Warwick man, I am absolutely blown away by the comfort, speed and lack of buzz/dead spots on this bass. I just. I have no words. It's up there with my favorite Wick.
Can't wait to get more of these!

Welcome! I have that exact bass right down to the same color and just love it to death.

I picked up a natural one just like yours a few weeks ago and it is a great bass.
