SPECTOR® Club - Part 47

[iceboxbass]

If it was mine I would do a hand rubbed oil finish.
I love the feel of wood.

+100%!!! I love the feel of a really nice sanded smooooth wood body bass!

 

[Jaymi]

Where's it relocating, my house?

Not yet lol....the other is on its way to you

 

[smadder]

Would anyone have a coronary if I said that it was time for this one to relocate?

That's one of the best playing and sounding Euros I've ever encountered. If my white Euro LX with the Wimbish neck had been as good as Jaymi's Amber Wimbish, I would have kept it even with the other cosmetic factory defects. That's how great his bass is. And the other interesting thing is that the Tone Pump sounds better in his Wimbish that I've heard it sound anywhere else including every Spector Euro I've had come through and others I've tried at shops. Jaymi's just has that mojo along with one of the nicer USA tops for Wimbish basses you will ever see. The quality can vary, but Jaymi's is extraordinary as you can well see. And it's even better in person.

Let us know when you put it in the TB classifieds so we can bump for you!

I've never known that's how you get the amazing colors. First transparent black, sand, add color? So you only lightly sand some of the black off?

Yes, once the black is on and dry, you light sand the body. The idea is that the woodgrain will pick up and it'll hold the black. Then apply your color stain. That's how that gorgeous NS-4 that's black/blue, have popping grain.

Well Jaymi, atleast it's not giving me S.A.S. because its amber. Lol

 

[Betrayer_Bass]

There are some incredibly beautiful basses here! :O

Ok, so my new ReBop 5 does have loose tuners. Which brand do you think I should replace them with? I put Gotohs on my Wick, I like them a lot. I'll go with those unless someone has a better suggestion?

"uhuhuhuhuhh... Hey Beavis, I've got wood."
although I do love matte/oil based finished. On certain basses they're down right sexy.

Oh, and in. I really need to take some new pics.

The Ian Hill i had TonePump was a real growler! When I played at the 1st Annual Farmstead Festival, I had people coming up after each set wanting to look at it and complementing on its growly tone.

 

[THE DANiMAL]

I "Normally" don't care for orange or amber but between the beautiful maple flaming...this is really nice Looking! Black hardware would make it look stunning, IMHO!

I've been thinking that too. I haven't ruled it out yet.

I guess you have not played Lenny's Green Wimbish....

 

[Jaymi]

none of us have but you and Lenny

 

[Rob L]

Awesome! Congrats on the Forte 4! They are saweet basses aren't they! So the P bass going to take a back seat now???

Yes the Forte is great and for now my P will take a back seat. I think I'm hooked, it sure took me a long time to get it.

Wow this forum moves fast!

He said he has a spare room if you want to chill with him and take a ride down south...

 

[JeffplaysBass]

I have a (Solid maple) Euro serial#2525...this one is 2524....My Euro has the Haz and can say its very close to sounding like a NS2....If you can get this bass for under $1000 and put the Haz ($350) for a total of $1350 you can get very close to the sound. Also my neck is very comfortable (med to thin) this should be very close to the same....

As you know the 10th Anniversary ReBop4-MM bass is now being shown to the public for the first time this weekend at Bass Player Live.

Before arriving at Bass Player Live, it took a mini tour and visited with me for some of my famous "Limaguy" sound clips.

It then visited with Jaymi for one of his famous Video reviews.

Clips and Video below.

Feel free to PM me or Jaymi with any questions.

In my clips I am comparing The ReBopMM with a MusicMan USA Made Sub Sterling. (not to be confused with the current import version)

Special Thanks to PJ for allowing this to happen and to Lee for lending his MusicMan USA Made Sub Sterling.

The Rebop sounds great!!....but then at the end when I heard the NS2.......Thats where my $$$ goes!!!!

 

[guy n. cognito]

I commented on the MM on Jaymi's Facebook. It sounded really bright on his clip.....too bright to me. Your clip, LimaGuy, the high end seems a lot more restrained. I like it. Anyone know if they're gonna do a 5er?
