SPECTOR® Club - Part 62

Cool, what are these things running?

A little less than $400. That's why I went with a B3K to use with my Tone Hammer pedal.

ditto but there on the used market from anywhere of 325.00 to 350.00. I traded my 3 and a hundy for the 7 and I'm glad I did. IMO the best dirt DI pedal out there for live set ups.

Another spot filled in the rack, is that three new ones in the last month Donny? Lucky guy getting that guitar for that price!

holy crap... I didn't realize that, but yup 3 in a month's time

Hey, if it gives you the sound you want then great! Will most likely try one out one day. I use dirt/grit on my bass only once in a while. I heard the sample on the Darkglass website for the Driven Amp setting on the B3K and I really liked that so that's what sold me on the 3.

That and the $120 difference. But you know, never say never.

I just looked in the classifieds here and those B7K's sell fast!

I've got a b3k and I'm really considering the Tone Hammer pedal to go with it. How do you like the combo? Any clips?

great price. They had no idea, but they were nice and shipping reasonable. I'm wicked excited to get it. My guitarist Brian (Spector Artist) is pissed cause he didn't have the money to buy it

Wicked excited, eh? You sure that you're not from Boston?

I'd be wicked excited too.

Nice, didn't realize that. I work in Andover and live over by Newburyport.

Excuse the double post, but I just swapped out the knobs on my Euro. I think this is much more classy

It's honestly a little weird to me how Spector can make such insanely good quality basses but put these cheap feeling plastic knobs on them. But it's a thing of tradition, I like them but.. If they were metal I'd have kept them on.

I actually like the EMG style plastic push on, white dot knobs. They came on my Steinberger L2 in my pre Spector days and I got used to them. Anytime I've received a (used) Spector with anything else, I've always put the EMG ones on.
Also, even though I prefer gold hardware most of the time (on Spectors), I hate gold knobs as they seem to scream "Cheap import bass trying to look not cheap!" because so many cheap imports do use them.

As you can see in this pic , I too thought it needed more chrome especially the knob controls I added little white stripes to them to let me know where they are set during performances just in case I bump em.

But on my Forte the knobs are staying as is

Cool, thanks! So I take it the two play well together? Have you used the b3k in combination with the AGS on the tonehammer at all? Sorry for all the questions btw, haha.

Thanks Jody. Been my only player since I got it until I bought Jim's NS-4CR a month or two ago, which I use a little too now, but...

All bets are off when I get my USA's.

No worries. No, not together. I've used them for two different sounds.

I'm afraid if you kick them both in at once time will stop.

Please stop talking about B7Ks, Your giving me GAS.
