SPECTOR® Club - Part 60

[johnsonabq]

Thought I'd share this here...
A somewhat "better" mix of this track and also made into a video of sorts.
Recorded with my Brooklyn NS-2.

Very cool! Tasteful use of effects on the bass in the beginning and I love the use of news footage to make a statement during the song, a la Pink Floyd, Supertramp, Queensryche, etc.

I'm glad to hear you're loving it and I agree with that. It is just a Jazz bass on 'roids. And yes, that neck J can sound very "P" like for sure.

On the D tuner thing.....yes I've installed them. They are SUPER easy to install.

Could you advise which type should I use for my Brooklyn one? It has old style shaller tuners.

 

[anton72]

D tuner is a super easy SELF install. Some people claim to have had issues with the use of them on spectors. IT can be because the string grabs on the brass nut. A little graphite can solve that problem if you run into. I have them on 7 out of 9 of my basses. Ihighly recoomend the hipshot detuners

Thank you! I won't have any problem with the nut because I put the bone nut instead of brass one. And the bone nut let the string move easily. The only thing I'm not sure is that which type should I use with my old-type shaller tuners on Brooklyn NS-2.

 

[brotherbassj]

i believe that is the m4........got to the hipshot page online and look, they will tell you and are quick to answer questions that you come up with

I think this is what you need.

Do a search, you can find them brand new under $75 don't pay $99. I have seen them go as low as $64

Yep - got mine off Ebay brand new for $60-ish.

On the older basses with Schaller they should be fine. It's the Euro Schallers that don't match up. Bill at Hipshot was nice enough to mod mine so I could install it on the Webster.

Thanks, meant to say that but spaced (more coffee please!) I meant that to be where he got the info for a search. Yeah, don't pay $99.

Thank you my Spector brothers, I just pulled the trigger for the one on ebay for $66 including shipment! I love this Club!)

 

[anton72]

Just thinking about putting them on both NS-2s....Well, I'll try it with the less expensive NS-2JA first

 

[bobunit]

They have ebay prices on those things. Wow, too much:scowl:

Yeah. My old NS2o is that much further out of reach.

 

[Trailight]

Guys, does any of you use D-tuner on your 4stringers? And is it a great deal to install it, if yes how dificult the installation is? Just realized that the only note I'd probably need below E is low D so d-tuner on E would make it possible.

I've been thinking about adding one to my Brooklyn. And after seeing some Michael Manring stuff, I've thought about maybe getting 4 of them

Thank you good sir!!

I will happily take your abandoned ones Coop!

Drop them on what you play, there is no modification or damage to install or uninstall one.....they work

Get some, they work, at least get one to drop your lowest string......you will thank me! Lol

You would probably need a bigger head stock if you want to do that If you notice, the head stock on that Zon is much bigger so it can accommodate all of the Xtenders.

This probably seems like a tiny little amp compared to some of the big rigs you guys are running but I just picked up one of these. It looks like a really cool amp and I am obsessed with the tone Nick Beggs gets with his Euron on that Steven Wilson Blu-Ray from Mexico. Plus, they are giving me the foot pedal for free which is normally $150 so I couldn't pass that deal up.

Let me know how you like the RH. I've been using it for a couple years now. It rocks.

That's a great amp John, packed with features.

I have one of these and also the Blacksmith and an RS210 and RS212. Very nice little amp. Quite a bit of controversy on TB about their power ratings though. I'm going to sell the Blacksmith as it's just too much for anything I'll do. The RH450 at the moment is in my silent practice room. It's great with my GB-10 and headphones for learning and practicing. I currently use a Genz Benz Shuttle 9.2 with the 210 & 212 when I play. The Shuttle is also a nice little amp (4lb.!) and sits on the 210 & 212 for a nice small but powerful package on stage.
