Last night I had the crappiest gig ever (in ever I mean my entire 8 gigs with Winter Of Freedom :D )
We were part of this local music scene festival and each band played 3 songs...
First off we could not hear anything on stage. We were hearing the house sound more than the stage which echoed back to us and so lucky for us that our keyboard player keeps amazing time with her leg and that's how I kept time.
Then, the amp.... oh man. It was a beat up rental of an SVT 3 Pro with a 410 Traynor cab which basically meant crappy.
I had the gain at 2 o'clock and the master volume at 4 o'clock which meant that I was driving the hell out of that thing and still got nothing out of it.

The she was streamed live and so Sam captured some screen shots for us :) :bassist:
You can see Kaori trying to hear the monitors...

Dude, I've been there. Gotta just plow through that stuff and know that it'll make a good story later. Also one of the main reasons I do a shot of whiskey before the first set. Old habits are hard to break.

But yes this is exactly what I am confused about.

Yeah, as brass is already an alloy of copper and zinc it makes the "zinc/brass alloy" term used by Spector confusing as compared to just "brass".

I can't imagine the newer Euro bridges are solid brass or zinc that is plated with the other, but maybe.

I thought earlier discussions had an aluminium component in the newer (polished) Euro bridges. :confused:

Well I'll say it.....I'd like to have Jaymi's Wimbish.....therefore I have lowered prices on items I am selling. Any bumps throughout the week would be appreciated........AND.........I have also been offered another Spector that has my interest too........too many things I want have become available overnight it seems!

Well I finally had a chance to play my NS2A in a band setting. (been bandless since my work went to swingshift) Church function with some worship music but also some outside the box stuff. In the set we also played some country, rock and as little funk. And when I say a little funk I mean as funky as a bunch of stale old white guys can get. So a badly played funk song......Anyway, the 18V TP, active EMG equipted NS2A killed on everything. I went direct through my BDDI and it totally cut through everything. Probably the most under-rated bass (outside the Spector club) out there. I can't wait until the day I can unlease it through my amp live........Now if I could just get of this damn swing shift....

My post from two pages back... I guess you missed this...




... just not a simple process at all. And it would take months for him to do. There's just not enough demand for lefty USA basses to justify Stuart having to spend that much time to develop the reverse templates.

It is not something as simple as "press a button" on the CNC machine and it can spit out a reverse copy. Stuart has a CNC but it is only used for rough cutting of neck forms.

I was there in July and I can promise you, if it comes from NY, it's made by hand.

Nope, I didn't miss it...just posted mine before reading your post. :D
Why not borrow the template from the Euro shop? If there was a request from someone, famous or semi-famous maybe? I know there's a lot more hand work on the USA basses vs. Euro...plus more craftsmen in Euro shop as well. I just never heard before today that there's no lefty's made from the USA shop. Found it odd, that's all. No offense meant. :ninja:
