The story of your guitarist getting hit by the car really made me rethink my cycling strategies. I went to the store on my bike today and was sooo super wary of all the cars and what they were going to do. It's scary. I hope he recovers fast and finds a way to play. Lord knows what I would do. Poor guy.
He did say something about getting me a tube quilted emerald eurofor being a great friend...
Hmmm. She's a special one (a keeper) but never say never...
It is scary to think one day your enjoy your day the next your has completely turned upside down. I will keep you fellas posted .

Yo Torn! Here's your bass with PJ at NAMM '13...
Have fun at practice.
PJ Rubal is such a nice guy and has always been very helpful, it's nice that he has always been there to assist me with all thing's Spector....
Well-done, torn. That is a stunning Spector, probably one of the best I've ever seen.
NBD here as well (FINALLY)... Love love love the Forte 5.
Lame iphone pic attached. I will get some better shots in the morning out in the sunlight.
That's fantastic Brother that we had delivery on the same day, sorry about the set backs that you had but I bet that bass is making up for the lost time!
Yeah, the world is right again.
I've got some outside projects to deal with today but I have a standing appointment with the Forte, a six pack of local beer and my amp tonight, only to be interrupted by intervals with the bruins/hawks.
Congratulations! WOW! Speechless! Gorgeous!
Thank You very much (all of you Spector Brothers) for all of your kindness, practice was a lot of fun but I didn't get a chance to dial the bass in as it was very packed all night with people wanting to see the bass...a lot of people wanting it turned up! I'm thinking I will increase to the next string size and lift up the action and I need to dial in the HAZ....
Yeah, the world is right again.
This has been some kind of series, huh? I really don't have any guess on who takes it at this point.
Congrats - one of the nicest NS-2s out there...
That, and the fact that once you find "The One" all other basses seem to fade away.....
Thank You very much, I plan on getting this dialed in today to fatten up the sound as it seems the maple neck brings out some brightness in the tone....it's a beauty up close, everyone was very excited about it's color and the wood patterns in the neck and body.
You are more than welcome Andy! Glad everything fell into place to make it happen. And thank you for allowing me to play and drool over you brand new NS-6XL! It's so true that pictures don't do that bass justice! Wowzers!!! That NS-6XL is not only amazing to drool over but it's an amazing player also.)
Doh! Sorry Andy...in haste of the pending storm I forgot about the photo shoot!
I'm glad you guys got a chance to meet, you both sound like great guys....
The most watched Stanley Cup since '97. For good reason too, it's been awesome so far. Although the Bruins took out my Rangers, I gotta go with them, sorry Bunk!!!!!

Too kind, sir!
I realized after we didn't do pics either. These storms have been driving me nuts lately so I go into "unplug everything" mode. Next time!
I can honestly say this is a series where I would feel no shame losing to Boston. They might not be as flashy as some of the Hawks players but they just get the job done on defense. Game 2 and 3 made me understand what happened to the Penguins.
Just think how different these finals could have been if Detroit could have pulled one more win, or the Leafs hung on. We might have saw a rematch of 2008 and 2009.
Yes it does. That maple board brings extreme note definition.
Not making my wait any easier!!!

Would you have any suggestions Husky?

You got the big bro coming with that extra string Bunk....
Hey everyone!
I've been working on a series of short videos that show EXACTLY how Spector Basses & Guitars are made.
I want to clear up a myth that has grown because of some videos that other people had shot in the past.
Spector has a CNC machine, a retired, previously owned machine Stuart got a great deal on. But it came with no instructions. It's honestly a big toy for Stuart.
And the goal is to have it do more of the simple cutting work to save valuable time in the build process. But to date other than a few very rough applications of the machine, it stills turned off and quiet the majority of the time.
Even if brought-online for the few things Stuart wants to use it for... the VAST MAJORITY of each Spector build would remain done by hand, as Spector builds have been done since the very earliest days of the company.
Anyway... after seeing what goes on there first-hand, I left the Spector Workshop with a mission to correct the myth that those couple of videos had created, for I feel that if you don't see how these are made first-hand, you'll never really understand how special they are.
Just a quick note... and this was the JAW DROPPER moment for me. I can remember standing there shaking my head, eyes wide... and PJ and Stuart standing next to me laughing. Obviously I'm not the first person to have this reaction... Each upper and lower horn on EACH neck-thru Spector is ALWAYS shaped BY HAND. No machine template... nothing. One slip and the whole wing is ruined. ONE SLIP.
There is footage of this AMAZING step in the birth of a Spector Neck-Thru in this video:
Oh! And such serious props and thank you to Spector Artist John Montagna. What a simply awesome guy.
