Congratulations, Zitch! That's great. Ava is a fantastic name. I think that was on our short-list if we'd had any girls.
Thanks! I can't discern any really noticeable difference in tone. It might be a touch brighter but that could easily be the new strings I put on. The old strings were pretty grungy (pun intended). CircleK's, baby!
I also swapped out the gold schaller strap locks for some NOS black ones out of the parts bin that I'd intended to put on my old Forte but never got around to it.

Congrats Zitch!
Very cool that you were able to make the trek up to Woodstock Sam! I'd love to see the shop one of these days.

I'm so happy that you had this once in a lifetime opportunity Sam. Couldn't happen to a more humble person.Today I was honored to have had the opportunity to visit the Spector Workshop and meet Stuart Spector.
It just so happen all the cards aligned properly as PJ was going past my area and invited me to take the ride with him.
As most of you know I have heart disease, but many don't know that I have not left a 10 mile radius of my house for almost 3 years.
My house to Woodstock is 100 miles in a very rural area.
This idea caused me a lot of anxiety especially since the sudden heart attack of James Gandalfini last week,
What better way to push and my test my comfort zone then to visit the shop and meet Stuart.
Some additional info;
During my last conversations with Chris Loe we discussed how he hoped to visit the shop with me one day and we could be support for each other.
In honor of Chris Loe, I brought Stuart a Chris Loe Bracelet and Ribbon.
Please check the photos below.
Stuart with the Chris Loe Wrist Band
This next photo may be one of the ugliest but most beautiful photos ever.
My wrist next to Stuart's sporting the Chris Loe Wrist Band
Stuart hung the Chris Loe Memorial Ribbon on the wall where all the basses are photographed before they are shipped.
The first one that was taken with the Ribbon was
My NS-2 #800.
So from now on Chris Loe will now be honored in every photo
that is taken on that desk.
And finally here I am with Stuart.
I will also just like to ad that Stuart is just an incredible man. Speaking with him for 2 mins and I felt like I knew him for years. This is a day I will never forget.
Thank you to PJ, Stuart and Patrick allowing this to happen.
I must say that as I was reading this tears are pooling in my eyes...You're looking really great Sam.

Well that actually makes me think that bass my roadie bought is a NS2002b
its a cool bass, plays great. Its very light.
Hey Zitch congrats on lil one. I have 3 under five it aalways fun. Also guys I have my ns2000 4 for sale really good condotion red sunburst it the 92nd one made. I have it on CL also but didnt put it in classies cause I. Not up for shipping unless it one of you guys. Im hopibg to find it a home in New England. Anyways if your interested hit me up ill send some pics. Thanks.
OK guys I have something brewing (not a bad meal), and I do need to move my Euros sooner than later at this point. I'm getting ready to knock them down to borderline stupid prices, so just wanted to give a final crack here. PM me if you're interested in either one and we can talk price. Would really love to see the 5LX stay in the club if possible.
although not new to buying good basses...I have wanted a Spector for a year or two and was wondering if i could get some help deciding between the two of these basses.
They are both brand new and will come with a Spector hard shell case.
What would be the tonal differences with the electronics and your take on the pros and or cons of each.
Thanks ahead of time.
What would be the street value of these new?
