In very late, care problems, at the mechanic today.

Thought it would be interesting sharing this photo of NS-2 #800 when it was just wing cut outs compared to the completed bass.

Great pic Sam!

Someday I hope to post my own version of NS-2 woods, before & after.

I think a single DI right off the bass is fine if you don't run through a bunch of effects (like me).

Hey guys......how are you running things live? Bass>DI? Mic'd amp? Both? We have full PA support for larger rooms. I'm going out of the DI on my TC Electronics RH750. Running the board eq flat, I feel like I'm lacking a little of that Spector grind once it goes through the PA. I should probably see how much compression he's running on it, but what are you all doing?

thanks!!

Never play a place big enough to require PA support so its just my Genz Benz and my NV215

After lurking for some time, I’m posting my Euro4 so I can now become a member. This is an ’03 w/a TP. The blueburst are so hard to photogragh well to capture the flame in the wings...

I regret it took me 30+ years before I finally picked up a Spector but now I’m hooked.

Oh, and I’ve also got a SSD NS-4 on the way I'll post when I get my grubby hands on it this week...

Congrats, and welcome to the club!

Did you buy that beautiful amber SSD NS-4 from ilustre? If so, thank you - the temptation to jump on that one was torture!

The depth of those gloss finishes in the blacks or that dark blue is astounding. Beautiful!

Have you heard a fretless Spector 5 before? I had a fretless stingray 5 a while back and found that it just wasnt for me. I got used to the fretless pretty quickly but it was the first stingray I've ever owned so I'm not sure if I wasn't into the stingray (nice basses, just not a Spector) or if it was actually the fretless neck that I didn't like the tone of.

Can you still get the aggressive grindy tone out of a fretless Spector with the right pre in the bass?

I have fretless NS-2 Kramer era with HAZ. It's neither the rest of the fretless around nor the fretted-like NS-2...something in between. It's a perfect player and obviously more aggressive than the other fretlesses I had before, however you can also dial in some "mwaaahh" the fretless players are after, but not that dirt and grind as my fretted NS-2 can be. I eventually realized that I would not use it as often as my fretted and put it up for sale now.

Drool :cool:
Your Spalted NS2 influenced my decision to go with the Spalted EX top on my Euro. I watched your youtube vids over and over. I've always liked Spalted maple but it looks even better on a Spector and even better on your NS2 :bassist:

NICE!!!!!!!!! Thanks man! So YOU are the one watching my videos! :p :D
