O ya, its spector related... cause I play spectors on the album.

Some of my pedals before three get shipped. I have about 12 more vintage pedals not pictured at least. What would you use?

WOWZERS! I'm not a pedal person.

Quick question about the TonePump can it be wired with a blend instead of V/V? I'm eyeing a new acquisition and I hate the V/V setup and seeing as a new 9V is out of the question and the MM114 is no longer made hopefully a simple wiring job is in order.

What do you hate about the V/V if you don't mind me asking? I really like it because I find that I can dial in my pickup volumes to the sweet spot and get that sweet Spector tone with ease using the two vol TP.

yep mine is that way.

not sure on the pot value though.

One thing I've found with the EMG-HZ is that they really shine when on full.
I'm always all or nothing with them.
I've been debating pulling the Tonepump from my 06 Rebop 5 & dropping in a 3-band with individual pots for Treble/Mid/Bass and then a single Blend pot to choose pickups.

Wow John! Congratulations on your NS-4! I can't believe Lee sold it! How you loving the sound so far?!

Thanks Ice. It really is an amazing bass. Everyone mentions things like low-end and miss and all that stuff but I am just awful at describing that kind of thing

What I can say is this. The NS-4 seems to not need as much bass compared to the NS-5 and the neck on this thing is amazing. It is super fast and I can just fly around the thing with barely any effort. I had been wanting to add a 4 string to my collection since I really missed having one and was using a non Spector for a bit. It is a great bass but it has a 1.5" nut which I am just not comfortable using so this NS-4 feels so much better in my hands. It's also not as big of a deal switching between the 4 and the 5 now since the NS-4 has a chunky neck compared to the previous bass I was using.

Spector NS-2 Brooklyn is the second one, I would guess.

I use my volume all the time to mute onstage and sometimes for a swell and having 2 volumes is a pain. 99% of the time I have both pickups on and have no need to blend them that's my sweet spot and it's just way easier for me to grab one knob.

 

[Clearwave]

Both are great but I like #1 best.# 2 might be recorded to hot. For some reason, it sounds like #2 has a thicker neck. So I'm guessing #1 Kramer, 2 Woodstock.
I wish I could play like you.
