Thanks, John. And you can get that graphite powder from a hardware store? Or is it one of those special order items?
Yup, you should be able to get it at any hardware store or Home Depot. Definitely not a special order item.

Sell it and buy a Coda.
Wow thx Carey, you keep this up and I may have to put on my sons superman cape!Zitch....Your attitude and kindness is a true example of the reason why I hang out with the Spector tribe, this positive approach to life and towards others is fantastic and it flows from a lot of the guys in this club....thanks for being a leader!

Let's see, sell the Aerodyne, which the market at the moment is barely $200, if that, and then save up for the next eternity to come up with other $1500, which my wife would never allow me to spend that much on something that isn't related to updating something around the house OR spend a mere fraction of that to mod the Aerodyne.
I can mod the Aerodyne all day long and still easily keep it below her financial radar. And if it get's screwed up, who cares, it's a dime a dozen Fender.
I'm trying to keep this within the realm of possibility, besides the Codas are dual jazz p'ups, the Aerodyne is a PJ config, which I very much prefer. I'm sure Spector would build a custom Coda with PJ p'ups, but again, there's that money thing.
^his original question was about installing a tone pump in his bass. seems Spector related to me. lets not run people off. we're all about tolerance here.
Well... except WorshipRocker... Who... you know the rest!![]()

Ah. You're in the same ship I sail in. Here's what you could do. Save up forever in paypal, and when you have enough money, get your stack and tell her its a $200 bass. She'll never know the difference. Lol
Thanks so much, Zitch!!! I'm stoked. I never win anything so this is awesome. I've said it before and I'll say it again. I love this Club. It's definitely one of the secret perks of being a Spector owner!


Man, that's good stuff. That's been my gig for years. Works with my motorcycle addiction too.![]()
Yeah, I'm not sure where his hostility is coming from. A couple threads back he went off when I said I thought the Alex Webster non-blood version appealed to me more so than the splatter, which does look bad ass. It's not like I said that everyone who has a blood splatter is wrong or dumb. In the right setting, like say Cannibal Corpse, it's absolutely perfect.
I would like to say that I have no hostility towards anyone in this club or on TB as a whole for that matter, and if anyone doesn't like me or what I post on here, then simply shake your head and move on.
And just in case anyone wants to refute my Spector club status, here's my membership ticket:
(just reinstalled a TonePump, thanks for the swap jbravo, it works great!)
