That's right, he said that when I was there...I must have been dazed by all of the basses he has and forgot about him handling your builds, I hope this 9v situation improves!

It's easy to get lost with those iconic Spectors laid at your feet. LOL

My NS-5XL should be on time. And the NS-2? Well, it is what it is. But like Bunk said, the waiting is really hard. :bawl:

The good thing is that the electronics and hardware are the last and quickest things to go on a build. :D

Thanks, this is good to hear. I don't wear my basses low and so far this one balances perfectly with the strap pin in the middle. I like the idea of a black wood screw to fill the hole. I was going to put a pin on her just to fill the hole but seems kind of silly.

I was thinking of adding some gold knobs to go with the rest of the hardware. Not really feeling the plastic knobs but they seem to be the standard. Any thoughts on changing the knobs?

I like all hardware matching...looks classier.

That's awesome. Ice, your arm must be getting buff from all of that using-the-Coda-as-a-pointer stuff. :D

I still do not understand why he would let me play some of them, the 30th bass has to be valued at 3 times a standard NS2...and...it was sweet, let me tell you it belonged in a case not in my hands!

I want to see the look of the Ultraviolet with your neck and hardware selection......

Any suggestions from club members for a boost pedal to throw on my board? Going out looking in a little while and I'm just curious what you pedal guys are using!

Also planning on ordering a B7K once I can sell my RBI's. Might pick up an OBP-2 from a local store today also. Ever since I got my Aggy TLC compressor I've been really sold on their stuff. Hoping they have one in stock.

I have found this to be useful in a three piece when the guitarist goes into a solo.

anybody strip the finish off the back of the neck on a gloss finish Spector? I use to do that to my Les Pauls... not to the wood, but sand the gloss down until it was more of a matte finish. I would have to redo it every now and then.

i did to my ns95 years ago. i keep meaning to do it to my ns94 because i like the feel of that smooth neck. but yeah. it's nice

Tomorrow I might have confirmation on my 5th Spector (though it is not a US like the last one, the NS-X) so I will be able to let the cat out of the bag, hopefully it will inspire me to work on expanding my playing, and stop being so lazy :D

i'm pretty shure thats how the matte polly finish is done at the factory, the matte finish on my euro lx4 is way to flat to be the result of a sprayed flat finish, I believe it is sprayed and then sanded with 1500-2000 grit . even the best of spray jobs will have a natural flowing look to it even when spraying a flat finish but my matte spector is totally flat that can only come from sanding
