With all the posting of sound clips I got to wondering...

What if Stevie Wonders bass player Nathan Watts was a 35 year old white guy from South Carolina with mediocre rhythm, sloppy right hand technique, two teenage kids, high blood pressure, a Spector NS2 and a winning personality?

I present to you today, the answer, Sir Dukey! One take!

That sounded f'ing awesome and your intro had me a rollin'!

DC only bass and treble at 2

P/DC centered bass and treble at 2

P/DC everything centered.

I tried to just bounce around the fret board to get the tone in different areas and how each one picks up harmonics.

Well I applied the color stain/dye a little while ago and it turned out good. Not exactly the color I thought it would be but close enough. I don't want to add another coat of stain/dye cause it might get to dark. I will start applying the Tung-Oil on Sunday and that should help the color and grain pop really good :bassist:

Wow, Curtis, that really looks nice. Not to dark as to show the grain really well. Nice job!:bassist:

Just as I said I love Sound Comparisons. I spoke with Lee before and we discussed adding my verison of Omer's track with my basses.
Note: Omer's Original Youtube version is at the bottom. And remember he is playing Guitar and Drums on this track too.

Lee's
Forte - solid flamed maple with USA9V, Spector nickels 45-105
NS-2 Buckeye - Buckeye burl top, walnut back, ebony board, Spector nickels 45-105
NS-2 Ultra Amber - figured maple, maple board, Spector nickels 45-105

[Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

Mine
NS-2 Blk Cherry NS-2- Gloss figured maple, pau ferro board, Rotosound Steels 45-105
Forte-w/USA9V Matte flamed maple, pau ferro board, Rotosound Steels 45-105
NS-2 J/J redwood top, walnut back, ebony board, Rotosound Steels 45-105

[Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

Omer's Youtube clip.

I am 99.9% sure he uses DR Nickel LoRiders

http://youtu.be/HEwrJwwRBhc

Actual meaning of this Post; All Spectors sound great no matter who, how or which strings or where they are being played :bassist: :D :bassist:

Is it just me or does Lee's NS-2 Buckeye is the bomb?!?! Wow that sounds sweet.

And I've concluded. NS-2 J/J is the new black. That's it. I'm saving up!

But man, they all sound great. Just a bit of flavour one way or another but there is no doubt it's a signature sound, no matter who plays them or how.

I'm pretty sure the dude in the Youtube video uses DR-Nickel Lo Riders. He sucks too! :D :smug: :p

Thats a tough song to to play man, and that was great for 1st, 2nd or 3rd take. P.S. Written Intro of the Year :D

Proof that the Motown era would have even been better with a NS-2 as the standard bass used. :hiding: :)

Don't make me embarrass :o you Omer. You have been playing probably the shortest amount of time of anyone in this forum and may have one of best techniques. :bassist:

OH YESSSS! The tone of the Gods! Thor's Hammer, Zeus' thunder, Medusas head, Atlas' shoulders, Apollo's harp, Hades' trident! :bassist:

Haha, Sam speaks the truth. Love all your guys's playing, really makes me want to push myself even more. If the upright didnt take so much of my practice time I'd be playing nothing but spectors as much as I can!
