Hey guys, I was tasked with writing a Jazz fusion piece with another one of my classmates for my Jazz Composition class. Each team was to write a piece in one of the key styles of jazz- from field chants through to Jazz fusion (and everything in between, blues, bebop, free jazz, swing, etc.). This was all done in collaboration with our school's dance department, with each of their senior teams choreographing a dance for each style. We recorded all of the tunes in class with my teacher's zoom recorder (and some editing on his part in a DAW). I play upright on most of the tunes, but for the fusion piece it was all spector- my legend 5 into the schools old peavey amp. there's the occasional goof-up, but it was a solid first take (after some rehearsing). Thought you guys might enjoy it!

Have you seen the new Rockbass line? They're on par with the Euro Spectors, for sure!

AND, if a ReBop is a REAL Spector, then a new Rockbass is definitely a REAL Warwick.

I have seen the new Rockbass line and IMO they are not on par with the Euro Spectors.
I believe they are on par with the Legend line.
This is just my opinion and anyone is obviously free to disagree ;)

Quick show of hands. Who is planning to check out Living Colour's Vivid tour over the next few weeks? I'll start. Me. :D

Dang, they're not gonna be anywhere close to me.
I saw them in Birmingham when they opened for the Stones in '89. I remember being really excited to see Living Colour. I liked the band better with Muzz.

HALP! I'm being tempted by the dark side...

My local guitar tech just became the Vancouver Island exclusive dealer for Warwick. :S
He has a new Rockbass Corvette with double J MEC pickups. This thing sings & plays so smoothly! It's making me want to sell my recently modded ReBop5DLX to get it. :(

HALP!

That's a valid point. But I'm actually just that kind of guy. I owned only Spector's before the endorsement. I played only Gibson Les Pauls and only buy Fords for my personal vehicles.... lol. I guess I'm a brand loyal guy.

I can't be loyal to a company like that. They're not loyal to me, I don't expect them to be. Make something I like, I'll buy that.

There are companies I like, and when I'm ready to buy, I'll make sure I see what they offer at that time.

I guess If is was a Spector artist, (which will never happen because I'm not good enough of a player) I'd only play Spectors live. But I'd still have a couple of p basses and a modulus fiver in my home collection and I'd play whatever sounds good in the studio.

i was just on the Spector web site and i was reading the brooklyn era history section and the first thing that caught my attention was the dates. it says brooklyn era 1976-1985.
if mine is a 1986 wouldnt that make it a kramer? 1985-1991.
mine is #1074
not that it matters, this bass dominates anything ive ever had!!! id just like to know the details.
ive been calling it a brooklyn for the past 3 days. id hate to be passing bad info. :hmm:
any help with this would be great.:help::D

(*note: the lowend called it a "Brooklyn era Kramer." No idea if that's true or not*)

edit: just went to this sight and didnt see anything about brooklyn era kramer. sorry, my bad.
edit 2: but it does call it a brooklyn pre kramer.

the tone knob is my main complaint about the TP though I really do love this pre. I think I'd prefer the USA 9V over the TP for the simple fact that I find that the tone knob on the TP goes from mild to harsh very quickly if not set at the sweet spot. Im also a big van of the two volumes, I know its a PITA for live situations but you can always install a killswitch or use a cable that has a mute button at the end (I have a planetwaves like this) that I use considering my new power/pre rig doesn't have a dedicated mute switch.

I have one of those "Planet Wave" cables with the circuit breaker button. LOVE IT! I recommend it to all the guitarist & bass players that I play with. :bassist: Plus they have a Life time warrantee! :D

I just bought a nice ns2000 I hqve to admit I like it more than my rebop. Best way to describe it is more low growl. And having gone back to the neck thru, I kindq like the feel better. Just not sure what im gonna do with the Bop. May tty and run it thru my mxr 10 channel and boost the lows.

Are they not a hidden treasure?!?! :D Love my NS-20005!!! :bassist:
