Thanks guys. The neck is really nice. The neck is not to chunky but my Brooklyn Spector neck is a little bit thinner. All in all it's awesome!!

Yo Donny,
Just got done giving your album a proper listening on the treadmill at work. Love, LOVE, LOVE IT. It rocks from start to finish. My current faves are "Suffocate", "Get You Nowhere" and "Epic Failure" for its time signature.
You and the Spector's are handling the low end for sure.
Congrats again mon!



I'm going more towards a rosewood fretboard but my Dingwall Combustion 5 has a maple FB and I love the way it looks. I love the way the Rebop5MM looks but I don't want another blue bass as my Euro 5LX is a blue stain, and I'd really prefer a two pickup configuration.. Custom Rebop it is. I'm really excited, but the wait is gonna kill me.![]()

Well, some of you are familiar with this video of my Forte 4:
I almost did, but the 35" scale scared me. I figured I wouldn't play it so I passed. Great deal, though.
That's what I've been wanting also, split P. I wonder if Stuart would do a custom build using a single P on a 5r?Related to this, is there any advantage to having a 5-string bass installed with actual split P pickups vs. the 40P5?
That does make good sense using the 40 cases, if you want diversity.Yeah I noticed that too. I thought about asking to have my NS-5XL cut for the actual split P and J, but decided to just go with the 40's so I can switch to DC's if desired.
That make sense.
Congratulations!NBD Brooklyn, only had a min to play it before heading to work, but it's nasty!
Wow! I love how this one has gray on top half and burl on the bottom half. Always like it when there's a knot on the upper or lower horns. Congratulation on a gorgeous bass!!!



The Gary Tallent model is short scale....somewhere around 30"

It's 32"...I was going to recommend that one also.
Loend68 was closer to the actual number without going over (A little Price is Right humor, LOL) Per the Spector site, the Shorty model is 30 3/8" scale.
we only wish they could be that inexpensive.
Speaking of The Price is Right.
Did you that Spector basses are sometimes given away as a prize on the Price is right?
Here is a clip of Spector Artist Lynne Davis playing on the show.
Kinda funny on the prices these people are giving,we only wish they could be that inexpensive.

YupShe posted that on her Facebook page recently so that was how I saw it. I think there is one with Marty O'Brien as well if I am not mistaken since I remember him and Rex talking about it on one of the NAMM videos.
Just looked at the new SpectorBass site and I noticed the Mike Kroeger MK5-USA is missing from the list of Signature models...did they discontinue the US model & just keep the blah Korean set neck?![]()
I'll be there.
Haven't finished rolling everything out yet.
Doug Wimbish's USA NS-2 is also missing from that initial page.
They'll be part of the main pages for those artists. It's just that WAY more Europe Series (Doug) and Korean Series (Mike) are sold than the USA models.
BTW... how did you like the new site?
