Gaarrrgh!!! You're killing me!
If I hadn't just bought this 2 days ago, I'd be all over it...
Finally got some nice pics together of several of my basses since the light was good, and my fiancee was happy to try out her new t4i some more. A couple of you have expressed interest in this already so I have you guys noted already - dukeisdog was the first to contact me about so he gets right of first refusal. I'll be doing a full listing shortly but here is a pic:
My church has lost their electric guitarist and still insist on playing Brewster. (one of the reasons I'm looking at a new church) Imagine Brewster with acoustic guitar, piano, drums and a female lead vocal. It was almost lounge.
Nothing wrong with that instrument set, just choose different songs for worship. As a sidenote, one of our old worship guitarist (and my good friend) now plays at bayside, even with Lincoln sometimes.
Sorry for the rant, your cheese comment just hit home.
Back to you Spector talk.......
I was able to talk to the music director and we switched the piano parts to keyboards, the song was rocked up to the max and sounded great...we have over 600 in service and the room exploded after the song. I hope that your able to convince your director to take notice....
Crap it's something to do with Dropbox. Photobucket keeps making my picks landscape even though I've edited them so I tried Dropbox. I'll fix them.
EDIT: Fixed them - had to use a metadata stripper on the pics so it wouldn't keep trying to change their orientation.

That's fantastic, he has a new fan that's for sure....great player! I was going to fit Salvation is Here into a progressive rock type of song (which is a mixture of jazz/fusion as well)....

Seriously? I guess I can thank you for motivating me to call Todd and place an order for my own UV NS-2. Great bass though!

Went to do my first gig with the Euro @18v (all rehearsals 'til now) and they were double booked. :scowl: Already a band on stage. Sigh... At least they bought the band steak meals including beer and wine. That's show biz!

Did they book another date with you?

No teasing this time it's for real. And the first time wasn't a tease it was just me not wanting to give up such a nice bass. But why keep something so beautiful and not play it.
I would rather put the funds towards something I will play then let someone else enjoy this beauty.
Awesome bass with some cool history Phat. And the pig comment nearly made me spit out my beer......

This is the 435 Ian Hill I'll be moving - listing coming shortly as well. it's got some minor marks and a drill hole where the old detuner was mounted but overall still an 8.5/10 on appearance. Note" those are smudges near the lower horn.
Andy,
What is the story again with the Ian Hill 435? Smaller neck profile? Which pre?
Congrats on your new US, it is a stunner!!!

Just a few pics - much better than from the iPhone.The natural light really helps to see the difference between the Euro black cherry and US black cherry.
Hey Gang,
Just returned from vacation out in LA/San Diego and picked up a rare bird.
Kramer era (1986 I believe) NS2 with JJ's.
Was originally built for Tim Gaines, bassist for Stryper.
The actual bass is the one in this video:
Needs some work to return it to it's original glory
(EMG's, preamp, gold Schallers [chrome Carvins on it now]),
but it plays beautifully.
Originally had a gloss finish that has rubbed off in most places (and looks like it may have had an attempt at reapplication).
I will probably have a pro remove the rest and oil it, although I am personally fine with it the way it is for my use.
Hey Patrick: I couldn't find this in the Spector Model History.
Since it's obviously not an NS2J, what was the official model designation for one of these? Do you know how many were made? Thanks.
PS. I picked this up from some guy up in the mountains "very reasonably" priced for any USA Kramer.
(And "No", I didn't have to squeal like a pig either)
Wow, what a cool find. I have been looking for that bass got years. I asked Tim what happened to it years ago and couldn't remember who he sold it to. I am crushed that the finish is gone :-(
