Wow. Page 6 already. And six pages of some the nicest basses on the planet!

Here's mine...

The clarity of that bass is astounding! Nice work.

Well done. How are you doing the bends on the harmonics? is that a pedal?

Very moving piece, seventh. Good work!

Omer killer as always....

awesome, omer! love it :)


Thank you thank you!!!!! :bassist: :bassist:
The bends on the harmonics are done with a Morpheus Bomber pedal :bassist: Not bad ;)

The audio on Youtube is pretty bad...
Here's the audio only, much clearer and detailed;

I just order two of those sizes .124 .086 .065 .047 for the plum and the Komonodor. I was told the other day by my band mates that they wrote a song in G so that should be interesting. Good thing I have extra nuts.

Low G? What gauge are you going to use for that? I tuned down to G# with the .145 and it was floppy but I am hoping that I can do the occasional extra half step down from A if I need to. I know some of the Pantera stuff from Trendkill is tuned down to G# so I can't wait to see how this .158 is.

AHA! I was going to ask you that since I was thinking "how is he pulling that fretless trick on a fretted bass?" How do you like that pedal? Curious how it compares to a Whammy but its not like everyone has $700 to try that old Digitech Bass Whammy. I still kick myself for selling mine when I stopped playing for that period.

:smug:

The pedal is OK... it tracks fine but not that great. I harmonized a major 2nd with this one. The octave sounds so so and the 2 octaves are just whack! :bassist:

I just sold my old bass whammy. I would rather have the money. There are some good pitch pedals out now that can do the 5th stuff that are reasonable. As far a the low g maybe I can get an arresting cable from a flight deck.
 
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.
Thanks for your report! :bassist:
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.
+1! I didn't realize how I prefer 1 vol. control until I had the ReBop. It's a lot handier than 2.
Here is the pic
It looks great on my iPhone. :D
Let's talk about that....who wants to come? Malaina said something about hotel stuff...let's discuss
In the last discussion of the GTG it was decide sometime after Jan. 2013. (That sounds weird saying 2013.
I received the call from my Spector dealer...My Euro 5 LX Alex Webster Signature Bass has finally arrived.

Tomorrow my new Bass will be home :hyper:
Awesome!!! :bassist:
Made a recording with the Brooklyn today.
