SPECTOR® Club - Part 60

[husky123]

Yo Ho,

Gold looks pretty boss. Black is bad ass though.

 

[Mr.Bassie720]

She has finally come home.

I'm repeating myself, but the finish work the last 2 years has been off the hook!! Just when you think they can't top the last one..they do! Stunning. If you were to tell me about this color without my being able to see it, I would imagine something garish and cheesy. Nothing could be further from the truth. This bass is truly gorgeous and unique. Congratulations. How is the neck? Thin? medium? Beefy?

 

[Mr.Bassie720]

Black.

I think gold looks best with that body color. Really makes the green look sharp. The black hardware with that body color looks too close to a military combo.

Black

Gold Ho! That's my vote borther

David, beautiful bass congrats!

Ho, I like the gold also.

Yo Ho,

Thanks for the input fellas. I'm, much to my surprise, feeling the gold too..

Still don't have a Spector, but following this thread.. The cheapest bass on this page ($199) - is it really a Legend? What's wrong with it?!

I would never begrudge a man's finances but if there is any way you can swing it there are a couple very nice NS2's in that list you really should consider. IMHO

FYI..........I will be playing at Empire in Springfield this Sunday night with my AIC tribute band Layne's Chains. We are supporting Red Line Chemistry. I will be rocking a Spector Euro LX (my faux NS4).......unfortunately I sold my white NS2a as I thought this project was over but.........I got a call. If anyone is interested let me know..........i hope to bring justice to the music..........we only play tunes from the Layne Staley era of AIC........if anyone was interested

Lee (husky123) has actually seen us play in Richmond at the National

NICE! I'm going to try like heck to get there. Ho, you going?

 

[Andy Will]

Back in for this thread. Promise to get new photos soon!



Still getting used to the thicker neck compared to my other basses but the right hand ergonomics are fantastic!

Is there any other era? Playing AIC is one of the main reasons I just ordered a B3K.

I am going to try and make it. Hopefully I will be making the trip that Sat to pick up the Kramer refin from Chris and if I can get a babysitter we'll stay the night in Fairfax and catch the show on the way home that Sun.

Nice!! Did he send you a picture?

You'll be pleased because the B3 flat NAILS that tone.

Funny, I got a B3K about a month ago and haven't even plugged it in............hmmmmm, might need to bring it......lol. Those of you that know me know I have about 40+ pedals........and still run a dry signal........lol (no pedals get used live)

 

[delucajohn2000]

I am still kicking around the idea of buying the Darkglass Vintage Microtubes pedal too. I mainly want it for the Ampeg SVT overdriven tone but in the demo video they have, it nails a really good Geddy Lee tone from Tom Sawyer as well.

She has finally come home.

Stunning. Simply stunning. Congrats!

I played AIC for years with just my standard hi fi tone (Modulus Q5 w/roundwounds) and it sounded great, but... I know that if I use my Spector with the B3K and get just the right grind out of it, that will take the song to another level. IMHO We also do Tool/Sober and I can't imagine playing that song without some serious signal mods.

I like the demo vids they have. The last sound on the B3K vid is what sold me on it. That's REAL close to the sound I want.

 

[davidjbass]

The neck on it is medium width. It's nice and comfortable. It weighs a little over 9lbs and balances perfect.
