Well, Baby J is now sporting DiMarzio Area J's. NOW she sounds like a Spector is supposed to sound! Deep, warm, growly...man these are great pickups. Just not a fan of active pickups :)

And I love his New England accent. It's like "The Departed"', but about basses :D
Very excited. Going to casa de Limaguy tomorrow, today actually! Sam is going to hook up my HAZ so I can continue on to rehearsal. One of the main reasons I play Spector. The people! Not just the owners and employees, though they are fantastic, but the people who play them and are passionate about them. I have made some good friends, thanks to these exceptional instruments.

Mr.Bassie720 stoped over just earlier today as he drove up from MD to his band rehearsal in Queens.

I successfully installed his 9V USA circuit and setup his re-finished Forte.

Which looks, plays and sound amazing in person. :bassist: :hyper:

I had to solder the connections since his tech previously didn't use the caps.

The neck was shaved down a bit on his Forte and it really wasn't too much different then my new NS-2.

After he left my wife and daughter said they got nervous of the weird moaning sounds both of us were making when he first came over. :hiding: :p Obviously from him seeing my Spectors and me seeing his re-finished Forte and then of course the excitement moan when the circuit was installed and it got sound. :bassist:

I can tell you why; it's like you said, you get everything set right and then you decide (we all do) you want to change the volume.
Unless your super human and can turn both volume pots down the same amount (on the fly) your perfect setting is kaput.:rollno:

Makes sense I guess. I use a planet waves cable that has a mute button right on it, so I set my volume for shows and mute it with the switch at my amp.

Could definitely see how the blend would be useful for some guys, but I actually like the two volumes.

Sittings here watching the Steven Wilson Blu-ray - awesome as expected.

I originally thought Beggs didn't use the Spector a lot but he's used it on most of the songs so far. Perhaps he started using it more than when I saw the tour.

I have to say it's a striking contrast to see him go from using one of the most beautiful basses (NS-2 shape) to one of the most hideous (Rick). :)

Also freaking me out is the fact the guitar player looks a lot like with short hair.

If that does not work for you, post what dates you have available so I can get a consensus
