That's what I love about Spector Basses...they're all pretty much versatile to most genre'.My NS2A has been really a great bass. Lately I have used it for hard rock (AIC, Staind), blues/classic rock (SRV, Clapton, ZZ, etc) and worship (Tomlin, Lincoln Brewster, Hillsong) and it has excelled at everyone. Between the tone knobs, right hand placement, finger or pick it just rules. My playing, not so much, but my tone is great. Thak to all you Spector guys for putting me on the path last year.
Cool,thanks Ice! Ive been after the Doug tone for awhile,but in a 5string format. Ill figure it out soon,and Im LOVIN my bass's tone,but more of that "PONG" tone that I love on the Stain record.
The USA 18vt is SICKLY clean and punchy,but not having a mid knob to crank up and no graphic eq on my amp (SVT7PRO) has me a little hungry for the "correct punch" in my mid department..I guess Ive been getting it a bit from using my bridge DC on 100% and my neck PU (DC) at 75%
Which is weird,It kinda messes with my brain to not be in the middle of my balance knob,I am a metal bass player,LOL!
Future use? Well I'm sure a good electronics guy might have an idea on how that could be customized and put into "current" use for individuals wanting to MOD their bass?
If its mid control that you want then try a different pre like the Aguilar OBP 3 or EMG BQC. Both have a mids control pot. Good luck!
I prefer the OBP-3, but both work well.......there is just a little bit of difference finacially and I find the OBP-3 to have a little more organic colr to it..........
Copycat!
All hail the Spalt!!
I have to say this though and Sam will agree. The Spalt / Walnut back / Pao Ferro wood combination is heavenly. There's something about that which makes the bass have a certain Mojo to it!
Amen to that! These spalts are out-freakin'-standing!
Now I'm gassing for a Spalted JJ
On another note, after talking to HAZ this morning. The mid control was added as a option, but nothing is set yet on how Spector wants to do it so it is not available as of yet and he said that 5 to 6 months down the road this could possibly be available
Also, some news that everyone could be excited about. In about 3 to 4 weeks the backordered parts for the 9v's will have arrived and Spector will have as many units as they want.

That is excellent news. I must, however, resist the urge be like one of those cat ladies on Hoarders. You can take my car, my house, all my stuff but I will fight you to the death for my stash of 9v Spector pre's.
donning my ninja suit now, you'll never know I was there.
You have a stash of 9V circuits? A stash?!!! Where do you live again?
