Saw Rush play in Charlotte the other night and thought to myself, "self, geddy needs a Spector". Then read this article: Link Removed

Geddy talks about owning a beautifully made Spector bass, but it's just not the sound he's looking for now. I'd love to see him change his mind one day!

I would too. Those jazz basses are cool though. He looks like he is 4 foot tall playing them.

Guys, I need your help and support. There is an international buyer that I recently sold my alembic to trying to pin me as a scammer. Yeah, it took me longer than expected to ship the bass due to health reasons, but I contacted the seller and we agreed that if the bass wasn't shipped by the 31st, he'd take further action. Bass was shipped the 31st, valid tracking number provided and now he posts a thread about me. Please support me. Read the thread and make your own decision

Supported you brother! Just seems that he's a bit antsy and jumping the gun. :ninja: USPS is terrible about updating tracking #.

I started playing bass in 1988. I remember getting the "Slap Bass Program" VHS tape. That nerdy guy played a beautiful spector. I loved the shape, it sounded great and you could tell it played great. A few hair band bassists had Spectors but I wasn't into that kind of music. There are no music stores in Alabama or near Alabama (including Nashville) that carry Spector. A few years went by and I guess I forgot about Spector basses. My dad bought me a Kawai KRB 69 bass. It was a cool bass and I still have it. But it isn't a spector. I've had a couple of carvins and a Steinberger.

In the mid 1990s, a local music store had a used Warwick bass. I saw that shape and remembered "there is that awesome bass I've always liked". I took it down and it played like a petrified turd. I spent the next 15 or so years playing Modulus and Fender.

2011 I bought my first NS2a. now I have 3. I feel like I play like me with Spector basses. It's exciting like it was in 1988.

I like NS2As, if I get anything else it will be a USA Kramer NS2 or NS2o. I really like that black/quilt at bass central too.

Cool story! I just about blasted my wine thru my nostrils when I read about Warwick playing like a petrified turd...:ninja: lol
I love the NS-2A's also. They're great basses and especially for the price! Just wish they'd made NS-5A's! Though the NS-95s are awesome!
