Spector Club members, I need your help.
I'm looking to get a NS 2J USA - Bolt On. But, I would like to know what your experience is between the bolt on and neck through. What are the tonal differences, weight, playability and any thing else I should know.
The price difference is staggering and would like to see your opinions.
Thanks in advance for your help!

I like it....wow!
I had this same question/concern when I was buying my first US BO, but I can honestly say I LOVE my fretless US BO!! It is a high-end, boutique bass in every way!!! It weighs in about 8 3/4 lbs and is second to none in terms of build quality! I have an OBP-3 in my fretless and love the tones I get, but you can get them in just about every pickup/pre combo you could want. The only slight, and I truly mean slight, issue I had was that my bass was a bit neck heavy. I changed it them tuners to a set of hipshot ultralights, which were direct replacement without any modding, and now everything perfect!
I have bought/sold a LOT of great basses in the past 2 years, even a Forte, but I have ZERO plans to sell my fretless...ever!! I love it so much that in about 10 days I am making a down payment for my second!!
If you are going to order a custom bass, I suggest Todd Cooke at the Guitar House of Tulsa! He's an all around great guy!
My white Euro may be next on the block - if I decide to sell it, I'll give you a heads-up first (complete with club member discount & cool-guy price break, of course).
Hmmmmmm.....Add me to that potential buyers list!

I'm starting to think about this fretless bass of yours, man I really want a Coda P-bass (if they start making them)...but...I sure could use a Spector fretless bass and it could step in the way of the Coda or maybe I just need to modify the NS2A!
I'm not gonna lie...it's pretty amazing!
...I'm in need of some new pics!
That is very nice, I like the lined neck because I would need it to target the position!
I like the lines as well, but my next fretless will be unlined! Funny thing is I have been solely playing my fretless since it arrived and now playing fretted basses has become a bit awkward!

I have a friend that plays fretless and said the same thing, I actually feel something is missing when we cover a fretless song and I use a fretted bass...it's like finding the sounds, textures, vibrato, etc. and you need that happening!

Wow Brad. I love that fretless!

I've been swapping back and forth between a 4 string 34" and a 5 string 35" without much issue. But I can't imagine going between a fretless and fretted bass. That would be weird.
Thanks for the kind words guy's. It's great being able to make straps for you guys.
Another note, I am thinking about moving my Matte Euro with 9v HAZ and possibly my 87 Blue Kramer which has a newer 9v, this bass is a 9 out of a 10 finish wise. Not sure yet gonna take the rest of the week to dwell on it. I want to get my 69 Mustang finished up and with the white and chrome Brook, double box, and the Ultra Amber my basses are pretty covered.
I'm not gonna lie...it's pretty amazing!
^^^^THAT.^^^^ That there is a thing of beauty.
I'm not gonna lie...it's pretty amazing!
Great looking bass Brad! One of the things about the bolt ons I love is getting the solid top without the rock maple thru the middle.
