I'll do a full review once I get a good rehearsal in with them. I also have 3 different dunlop picks that I use, so they will be included. I don't think I'm going to like the Dava picks... but they are the coolest looking ones :). This is actually going to be really fun, as I have found that the pick is an important part to my tone.

sweet. im a gator grip guy myself and just love them. i think those funny looking picks are a gimmick. i dont like the rubber part on the dava's and i hate acrylic picks, so the gravity's wouldnt even get a shot from me. especially for $5+ a pick.

Another example of how cool our group is....I get a surprise package today from Chris Loe with 2 sets of 'dental floss' gauged D'Addarios in it.....was a total WOW moment.....

Just another example of us looking out for one another and the respect and friendship we all have...

THANKS CHRIS!!!! You ROCK....(and remember, Spector basses have that 'punch' that rawwwwks!!!!!!!! You pick the accent for that one...LOL

I like the gator grip picks a lot, i have some tri tip tortex ones I like too and more recently i got some Max grip nylon picks and I LOVE those.

Like I said I'm excited to try these other picks... I'm an equal opportunity kinda guy, because you never know.

On that note, I think I'm going to go back to my Ernie ball nylon straps.... I like the spector comfort strap but it just feels too bulky and isn't quite long enough. So I have 2 that if anyone is interested I will cut a REALLY good deal.

I use the red ones and really like them. I still prefer the orange 1.14mm "Brain" picks, but the Davas are great. I only use a pick for 1-2 songs a gig.

BTW, they aren't $5 each.... Just over $1 each....

I was just using the yellow Dava tonight. I bought the 5 trial pack with the different types. I like the yellow a lot and not a fan of the others. The steel tip is obnoxious. Lol.

Don't forget your buddy in Maryland.:D mostly a curiosity thing I'm actually pretty happy with my Levis 3" padded leather, but I do like to try "All things Spector"

Try the nylon ones - I like those better than any of the ones from the trial pack.

I jammed last night for about 2 hours through my headphones... I have to say that I really like the yellow Dava picks... They actualy have a brighter pick attack than the max grip (dunlop) That I have been liking. The gravity picks are cool too. I have 1.5 and a 3. The 3 is produces noticably louder sound but a darker, less cutting pick attack. A little more true to finger style. The gravity 1.5 is really nice too. nice and firm, warm round tone with a little bit of aggressive pick attack. They are fairly close to the Gator grip tone. The gravity classic 1.5 are the most comfortable from my session last night. I think I'l just use them all :)

I got to sit and play this on Thanksgiving morning (thank you Jaymi) and it's gold. At that price... I just don't know what to say... which is a lie because it's me and I can't shut the f#$k up!!!! ;) If you decided you didn't like natural, it'd be gorgeous in any stain (or solid, obviously). All original hardware except the pickups and it's got a sweet, sweet, sweet quality to the tone that still has Spector all over it, but there's a sweetness there... light in weight, heavy on tone... it's just stellar. Like the best of an NS-4 and NS-2 in one bass, if that makes any sense.

Someone's getting a USA Spector this weekend. And for less than the cost of a new Euro.

Must. Control. SAS. Must. Control. SAS. Must. Control. SAS.

edit: Oh and the neck is killer. I love the thinner D profile necks rather than the thicker profiles of the current USA's like the Forte 4 I had for 5 minutes (Ubnomar will know what I'm talking about) but I've got the big palms short fingers thing, so ball-bat round C profile is difficult for me. This neck is the exact opposite of that and it's WONDERFUL.
