SPECTOR® Club - Part 64

Thanks for the info guys. Is the Korg in a metal casing? I like the way the Turbo Tuner looks in terms of durability, and the custom tuning setting may help for my 6-string and alternate tunings. I feel like both of these are dirt cheap for a true bypass tuner considering how much I spent on my Korg rack tuners.

I haven't had any issues with it tracking low A and below. It is metal also. I like the Boss TU-3 and had one a long while ago. Most of my band mates went to the Korg and I wanted to have the same tuner as everyone else so I switched. I did like the visibility of the Krog. I can't comment on the Turbo Tuner, I have never used one or seen one. Have to look it up and check it out.
 
i'll play. here's my 80's pic! I was a huge police fan, and here's my photo circa synchronicity tour era. that's me in the red.... they said I looked like a young Sting.

Is that Bran Stark to your left? Lol
 
I was wondering if anyone might have a low e saddle for a korean 4 string? Im not really sure what model I have, being a newly converted spector fanatic. I got the bass in a trade without the saddle, and im trying not to have to replace the entire bridge. This is a fantastic bass, and its killing me for it to be sitting in injured reserve.
 
On an unrelated topic, looks like I'm in the market for a tuner pedal after having used rack tuners forever. Still love my Korg DTR-2000, but for these road gigs where there's a backline, I'm not bringing anything but my basses and a pedalboard.

Based on what I've read here, I've got it narrowed down to either the Korg Pitchblack or thew Turbo Tuner. Anyone have experience with either of these?

Korg Pitchblack for the win, i like mine so much I told my singer to get one for his guitar pedal board :)

I'm using the pitchblack now after using my DTR2000 for years.. I'm really loving the pitchblack so far, and it really doesn't take up much space on my board. Another one to check out is the Snark pedal tuner. One of my Guitarists is using a clip on from Snark and really likes it. I would've tried the pedal had I have known they were out before I picked up my pitchblack. My PB has no issues picking up my low A.

OT... I'm picking up my OBP-2 in about an hour. Anyone have any tips for installation? I found a youtube video but the guy is putting it in a P Bass. I'm currently running the non trim TonePump. I'm very excited, but I'm heading out for the weekend at about 6:30. Hoping I can get this thing hooked up and played before then!

If you want it im out lol. Didnt see anyone mention it in here and not gonna stomp on a fellow spector brother. the euro im getting is a 2004 dont k ow if cavity is bigger sure my techie can get it in there.

I did know you could buy them new (MM114), if I can get a new one I'll go that route. It's just I've never actually seen one up for sale. I'm just an at home and occasional church worship player, so that being said, if you need it for paying gigs and professional use, I'm out. I feel the same way about fellow Spector Players, especially if its part of a career.

I don't think they are available new anymore. My experience with ebay is figuring out what I would pay for something and then bidding on it in the last few seconds works pretty good for me. Seems that when you bid early all you do is drive the price higher than it would be if everyone would wait till the end of the auction.

It would help if you can take a picture or you can email PJ the serial number of this bass to find out everything you need to know or maybe even get a replacement part. [email protected]

Another person you can contact is Todd Cooke at guitarhouse.net, he is a Spector dealer and can get parts.
