SPECTOR® Club - Part 61

[e.rich]

IN.

Nice rack.

Incidentally, I love when a new thread opens so I can have a good dose of Spector porn. I really want to have a room like Todd's. Seriously. My kidneys are probably worth something, right?

Let me know when you want part with my birth stone color

Haha...from my cold dead hands they'll have to pry the emerald....

Slobber-slobber, drool-drool.....

Yep, this one pretty much does it for me.
It easily takes the "Coolest Spector On The Planet" award in my book.

I see bc has one I've been eyeing even in the wimbush model

 

[cjmodulus]

How is the Shorty, guys? Does it still deliver "the" Spector sound?

iirc it's just a short scale version of the Ns2, so I'd think that it should still have that Spector grind to it. Im sure someone with more info can chime in shortly

 

[Jasonger]

Can someone give me their opinion on the USA bolt-ons? I'd like to check out a spector but need the wider spacing. Do the NS-52H's still have that signature sound? The preamp, pickups and bridge are different -- which I would imagine changes the tone significantly.

The price seems good though for a US made boutique 5. Thanks in advance!

Hi Joel! I personally love my Spector bolt on. It has dual MM pups with the Aguilar OBP-3 pre. It sounds massive To address your question I wouldn't say it's "the" sound but definitely in the family. I do have a NS-5 B.O. on order that will have P/J pups and the US9V pre. Then I can see how close it gets........
Bottom line- I think the Spector B.O. is one of the best buys in USA made basses.

Thanks man. Your bass looks sweet!

So your new one will have PJ picks? I didn't realize that was an option on the 5's... That's very cool. That might be the way I go.

 

[grendle]

Thanks. I love how the grain at the neck joint just explodes and fades into the burl pattern. My daughter hates this bass, she gets creeped out by all the "faces" hiding in the burl (if you look close you'll see a bunch of them).

Yeah that one is very unique. No problem picking that out of a crowd. Sweet bass!

The guys at BC really liked them. They said its got the same tone as the std scale basses but the short scale playability n tension. They said it was a surprise and growled really well with the short scale. They were pretty excited about it. Unfortunately it was gone so I didn't get to play it

Thanks! Here is one that's already out there. Mine will have the P in the reversed (Spector standard) position.

Wow -- that thing is beautiful. I've got to find a 19mm bolt on with pj pickups.

 

[brotherbassj]

I am considering selling my black matte eyro that is outfitted with EMG DCs and a Spector usa 18 volt preamp with kill swituh to upgrade to a USA model......interested parties drop me a line......PM

 

[Conzo93]

WOW! Great clip! That DOES sound great. I really like that song, too.
When I hear "Mila Kunis", I think "Meg Griffin"; difficult to make the hot connection along that thought path!

Thanks! glad you liked the song. We're trying to build our online following at the minute, taking a step back from playing shows, just a little experiment to see how it goes. You hear the rest of our album and more on our facebook page www.facebook.com/ZiaRegime

Gonna be recording demos for the next album over the next few weeks, my new Euro 4 will be crushing souls!

I have a US BO 5 fretless with dual J pickups and powered by an Aguilar OBP-3! It is an amazing bass that puts a smile on my face every time I pick it up! In terms of tone, it isn't quite the tone of an NS-2, but it can get a very gnarly growl! The OBP can also be tamed for that pleasantly warm and round tone. In my honest opinion, the US BO and Forte series are the sleeping giants of the Spector lineup! They are every bit a boutique quality bass!

I have at least one more US BO that I want to get ordered once my Brooklyn/Kramer era NS-2 S.A.S. is cured!

Here is an older pic...hoping to get a few outside shots in the coming days.
