Getting very close and looking fantastic!
Thanks Carey, I always thought it would be cool to have a custom strap and I still have yet to make one for myself lol.
My band members are digging it, you might have some more Torn orders so hold on to the logo!


(what...you thought I was going to be able to post the day I got it? I was PLAYING, for chrissakes!)
Some of you saw the shot of this at the Spector shop last week...this was at home yesterday (crappy camera phone...washed out...but I will post more / better pics soon, I promise)
Reprise is pleased to announce the arrival of:
NS-5H2-W #440
Birth Weight...who cares?
She has all her tuners & pots...and she can cry...loudly!... with any tone you like, thanks to those two coil select EMGs and her 18v OBP-3!
Seriously, the most tonally diverse bass I own, outside of my Ibanez Musicians...and those kids are tame, compared to this one. Even my wife can identify the different tones...and as a musician, she's a great cook![]()

WOW! Congrats on that beauty!! I talked with Todd the other day and he kinda filled me in a little on the story of this bass! Stuart definitely has good taste!...this just reaffirms my decision to go with a piece of the current buckeye!

Very Cool!

keep up the good work Mike! I have a 2nd one coming lol
