Not at all a bad-looking Euro for $800 at GC:
Glen Burnie, Maryland, Item #108342689
Plum???
Sound Machine!!...2 / 400+'s????
The little Monique pre above the Crown power amp kills it. I feel sorry for the 400's.
Greetings, my Spector playing brethren and sistas. I am a Spector guy through and through and want to join the Spector club. How do I do it? Please advise.

That's a great deal on one of the best basses in the Spector world! That looks like the satin finish bridge, which is all brass. Put a new TP or HAZ in that bad boy and you're all set
How close to that GC are you?

Tried to put it in my cart and got nothing, then called.........seems this bass is SOLD......did a club member get it?
Yup. My Mesa D180 rarely gets played anymore. The Monique gets all the attention. I even sold my Mesa M9 and GK MB Fusion. The Hiwatt is next and I will keep the Mesa as a backup.
So far, I just have to say WOW! Of course, I almost gave my dog a concussion when installing the .158 B string since it fell off the bass when I was cutting off the excess length, LOL. That is one monstrous string and when it hit the floor, she jumped 5 feet in the air, haha. Good thing it didn't hit her.
I love the tension on these strings so far though and it handles dropping down a full step with ease and without floppiness. I even tried one and a half steps and they felt great as well and sounded thunderous through my rig so I am happy.
Just post a picture and like BrotherbassJ mentioned, PM Tracebassplayer for a Spector club number.
By the way, his picture will look familiar to some on here

Nice, my last project was along that. Lol @ "djent" in quotes... Such a funny subject in the scene
I went with the Traditional set. The only difference is the G string is a bit thicker and I am not the biggest fan of thin G strings so I opted for the one with the thicker gauge. Ok, that totally can be mis-interpreted but you know what I am talking about
I am now thinking about installing the traditional .112 set my my NS-4. Since that bass is 34" scale, when I drop the E string to D, I can really notice the lower tension so I am thinking a thicker E string can help that. All of my other basses are 35" scale so when I drop that one string, I don't notice any difference in tension but on this bass, I feel it.

Clearwave said:I plan on going, who else is going?
I'd like to however my only concern is the month and potential snow encounters on the road from Richmond VA to TN! Lol
Wow! I am using a .120 B (.40-.120). Big difference!
Btw..... For anyone interested in light or regular gauge strings, the stainless Fodera strings sound incredible on my Forte 5. Surprisingly, they are pretty cheap ($35-ish for a 5 string set).

In case anyone is wondering what a .158 B string looks like on a Rebop 5, here ya go
