Definitely better than it was!

Yeah, It looked like a late 90's website. I kept expecting to see the "dancing baby".

I'm playing Sunday and one of the songs is Lincoln Brewster, Salvation is Here..which has a lot of bass riffs to cover. I freaked out the piano player the other night at practice because there is no way for him to follow me, there isn't a piano part in the song so I need to tell him to switch to the organ....lol

I'm a big Brewster fan... Brewster need a good Rock Organ in there.. Some of you may Remember the name from his stint with Steve Perry.

Have fun rocking out man, my favorite Brewster jam is Give Him Praise and Everybody Praise the Lord
 
Guess I can join the club now - 2002 Euro 4 that I snagged from GC. Awesome player and the flame top is great.
You guys have some gorgeous basses. Someday I'd love to get my hands on a custom USA Spector.

I took some photos this morning.....NS 2a "prototype" with original "HAZ" pre,"Wimbish" neck and Schaller bridge.

Question for you- how do you know it's a prototype? The reason I'm asking is my old black 1987 NS2A has no serial number, and I've had it since 1988, and it had the original haz pre in it as well (died in the mid 90s on tour and swapped it out for a Korean copy from another NS2A) and it has a different neck carve than every other NS2A I've played and owned since. I've talked to PJ about it and there were no identifying marks and the headstock is also slightly smaller (shorter) than the rest of the NS2A models I've owned as well. It's a bit of an anomaly but has been my go to bass for 25 years and 3000 plus shows.
 
One more from last night....the L.O.E. bass was my Muse again last night! Got a break in the middle of even flow and superstition. Big Empty solo.....and breaks all over Bill Withers Use me Up.....and the AIC......and of course Sublimes Badfish.....and yes...Tool's Sober....which Lee and Ho have both heard us do!

Truth is, I don't really know what it is. PJ has seen photos of it, he thinks it was a ns2a prototype. But he doesn't really know. Maybe they (Kramer) considered this as a model between a ns2a and ns2o, or instead of. It plays good and sounds good.
