SPECTOR® Club - Part 62

[jnumme]

That. Is. Awesome.



Bunk got me hooked on CircleKs. The Cobalts have a good sound to them as well.

Still got to try them ck's you gave me to try . I started using blue steels for a few yrs. Then switched to pro steels for the last yr. And love them

In with an older picture of my early NS-5CR, modded to black hardware.

Regarding strings: I use the Ritter SwordSteels, awesome strings!

And try out some D'Addarios! They sing so well!

That is some killer flaming.

A question for all you Spector users out there. I am thinking of trying some different strings on my NS 2. I am currently using DR Low Riders 45, 65, 85, 105. What brand of strings is everyone else using? I was thinking of trying the new Ernie Ball Cobalts. Any thoughts?

I switched from Lo Riders to D'Addario Pro Steels

Hey Spector club folks! I would like to join the fold sometime this year. I have insane gas right now. Thinking about a Forte 5 or maybe a USA bolt-on 5.

- If you have one or the other, can you generally describe the neck profile?

- Can someone give a rundown on the preamps: Aguilar vs Spector, 9v vs 18v, what are your preferences?

Meanwhile I'm going to start skimming the archives. Lots of reading to do.

What music do you play and finger or pick style? You want max snarl? Or just a warm tone?

Yeah, turn that crap off.

Thought I'd pass along where we stand on the issue of what color hardware we all think looks best with the new color UltraViolet combined with an ebony fingerboard.

Those of you who gave more than one answer I only entered your #1 choice. I want to thank everyone who responded and let you know I really appreciate your input here. Looks like I need to make up my mind soon if I want a chance to get this bass before the end of the year.

For me it's a choice between black (which was my first inclination) and chrome. Not that gold isn't good too, but the vast majority of USA Spectors have gold hardware and I want this one to be different.

I've put together one last pic, this time showing the same bass in a more standard setting (Stuart's Office). The Photoshop work is not as good but you get the idea. I'm only showing the black and chrome. Feel free to give further opinions.

You guys ROCK!!

I'm in with NBD.... Ice is an awesome guy to do a trade with... I plugged her in for a minute and it sounds great... no offense to Ice but I gotta get some new strings on it. But he sent some strings specifically to do that! awesome looking bass, its comfy and plays nice....

[brotherbassj]

In with my new #1

 

[marchone]

Here's another opinion: black, black, black!

[mexibass]

Woohoo 62...IN!

ur gonna love ur ipad for doing music, I gig with it everyday, for reading lyrics, triggering samples or just playing the occasional rhodes chords thru an external controller, it's gonna change ur approach to music 100%! and of course, not to mention the countless practice tools you can have with it, i just dont plug my bass into an amp anymore to learn new songs for my band, just got the right cable, headphones, and I do everything on the go with my ipad...

hope i can see u playing that beauty on a video soon man!

Thanks dude! I was super surprised to see that incredible wood when I unpacked it

 

[worshiprocker]

I restrung the NS20005 with the Spector Nickels that Ice sent with it. it sounds great through my practice rig. I'm getting a bit of "interference" every now and then, but my LegendX get the same from time to time. I have some funky wiring in my house, I think. lol.

Coming from play Jazz Vs this 5 string has a real fast, thin neck and tight string spacing. I really like it.

There is a good amount of growl with this pre. I can't wait to try it through my big rig tonight.

The Korean HAZ copy is definitely more growly than the TP jr. I'm pretty sure the NS2A I just bought has the same pre, but with active EMGs

 

[catcauphonic]

Is the a Spector case...never seen this design????

Naw, had this. I actually just sold it yesterday on CL since my Forte X came with its own housing
