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!

Yes, I did. I had already tortured myself for over a week talking w/him and thinking about it and felt it was best just to do it, otherwise i would've driven myself crazy. I'm hoping very much this SSD has even more of the magic I find in my Euro...

Congrats - its gonna rock your world. :bassist:

I have a blue Woodstock NS-4 with the same 18-volt USA circuit, and it delivers all of the magic that my Euros do, and then some....
:cool:
 
No doubt. Looks just like my 5..

Love the blue Spectors.

I'm pretty sure JPS, BoomBoom, myself and several others agree - blue Spectors rock. :bassist::bassist::bassist:

I am with you Sum FORTES are captivating,,,

There is a certain subtlety with the Fortes that I just love. It's 99% of the bass that I've always been looking for. My gut says that adding a US9V pre would give me that elusive extra 1%. But if I'm meant to /suffer/ along with the aggie OBP-2, well, so be it. haha. :D

I'm hoping to get a couple of decent live shots of it in action tomorrow night in front of crowd that's bigger than my dog and occasionally my wife/kids. :bassist:

Btw, Omer, that spalt is seriously classy. I love the before/after pics. (Sam, yours too).
 
HOw do they get the quilt to look 3D man looks like you can run your fingers through there.. SHEEESSH

they use a technique that involves a coat of black dye that they apply and then sand off. the dark dye sits in the "short grain" in the figure of the wood and creates a 3D effect that really pops out when the color and clear coat are applied. PRS also uses this technique on their maple tops as does Modulus I think.
 
LOOK WHAT YOU DID TO MR. BIGGLESWORTH!!!!!!! :D

Ha... That's Jinx the Spector Protector!!!

Haha, you beat me to it.

I really love those cats and would love to get one in the future. They are just so cool looking.

They are the best and very social. When you get one let me know I know a lady in IL that has them at good prices.
