SPECTOR® Club - Part 62

Status
Not open for further replies.
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.

This next photo may be one of the ugliest but most beautiful photos ever.

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.
Hi Sam,
That is such a great story! That would be like me meeting Geddy Lee I think :) I hope you're feeling okay these days. I really need to come back to the Spector fold :) anyone want to buy me a Euro 4LX?:hiding:

Anyone? Bueller?

Take Care Guys,
Brent
 
Anyone ever order from Bass and Beyond? They have some really nice stuff up there right now, I'm also looking at Bass Centrals inventory and I really do need to give Todd a call to talk about pricing.

Hoping to buy by the end of the week!

I recently purchased my NS-5xl from Juan there. He gave me what I thought was a good deal. No regrets. The store was close enough for me to pick up so he didn't have to ship it. Feel free to pm me if you need more info.
