Man, I'm sorry to hear about some of you guys having to get rid of your basses. That totally sucks and hope one day you'll get to get some sort of great spector back. Best of luck to you and my condolences :/

Hey TK, Sorry to hear the news. I just sold my US Spector so I can relate. Like Sam said, hopefully you'll find a club buyer and maybe one or both will make it back to you in the future.

Good story. I was in a coma for three days after a motorcycle wreck. I was wearing all the gear so all I had was the head injury. No road rash or broken bones. But I kept getting out of bed, pulling out all my tubes and heading down the hall. My brother said it took 8 big orderlies to get me back in bed. ( I'm no he-man but apparently you get like super human strength when you're in a coma). I wound up with a broken pinky after that. That was my last escapade as I wound up tied to the bed after that. Four days after I was admitted with injuries that had me at a 5% survival rate, according to my wife, I was home. No rehab of any kind and all is good.

So like Relayer71 says it'll all be over before you know it and you'll be back to your old self again.

Thank you Rick...your story is amazing! A 5% survivability rate and yet, here you are. That's awesome.

After hearing these 2 stories now I know why every doctor and nurse that spoke to me the night before my bypass surgery kept saying.
When you wake up please do not remove the tubes from yourself. Even before I was given the final dose of anesthesia, the anesthesiologist leaned over to me and said it one final time.

I stayed fairly normal mentally after my surgery at least I think so :hiding:

My Heart was frozen for 2 hours and I was on the heart/lung machine keeping me alive.

Some theories are the particles from the heart/lung machine are what causes you to hallucinate afterwards.

Ice,
Obviously all surgery is serious, but it really will be just like going to sleep and and waking up and your all fixed.

But we will be watching CNN to see if there are any Reports
"Coming up in the next hour, Man in Michigan running through Hospital halls playing a Blue Bass screaming I am ICEBOXBASS." ;) :bassist:

Sam...I'm glad I'm reading this before surgery as I'd be busting stitches! LMBO :D Thank you ALL for the great humor prior to my surgery...it is really helping make this surgery coming tomorrow a lot easier attitude wise for me. You all are awesome. :cool: :) I went thru left shoulder surgery back May 25, 2011 and remember after the Dr. injected the "go to sleep medicine" I had seen the pre-OP door open as they were wheeling me to surgery and then next thing I was waking up in post OP. Freaky!
What really had me kind of freaking is when my neurosurgeon was reading the % statistics of possibility of never speaking/singing again 1 in 1,000, paralysis 1 in 10,000, death 1 in 50,000 etc...of course anytime a Dr. is operating around my nerves and arteries it is really concerning. I know these Dr's are experts and highly recommended in their field but still...:eek::eek::eek: I'm trying to keep it all positive and not freak out...and my Spector family are doing an awesome job keeping the humor in it all and making me laugh. Thank you! No more focusing on my surgery and BACK to our regular Spector broadcasting. Peace all :)

When you get out of surgery, you should pretend that your name is Stu Spector and your bass is your wife. ^_^

Hopefully it will stay within the club and end up with a member that will give you first rights to it in the future.

I feel sorry for you brother. To get to this point, I know things are tough. I wish you the best for you and your family. I have been searching for a Wimbish, but the amount of money I have wouldn't cover the cost of what that beauty is worth. It looks absolutely spectacular.

Again, hoping for the best for you and your family.

Thank you for all for the comments guys..you are all so cool :)..That would be great to end up with my Spalted again in the future if it stays in the club, but someone might not want to give it up like myself..Its so comfy to play at only 8.1 lbs.
I am putting Both in the classifieds on wed and I will give discount for club members. They are both so unique that I'm sure someone will appreciate and get to enjoy them. :cool:

A good friend of mine went and saw AIC at Jiffy Lube Live (VA) the other night and said Mike Inez played his Spector most of the evening. I know he mostly plays it for their Drop D (C#) stuff but he said he played it for other songs too. Pretty cool.

Dropped my NS2A of to Mike Lull this afternoon for a full set-up and just to check things over. It's amazing he can look down the neck and rattle off a few things he sees that need attention within seconds.......I can't wait to get it back in a few days...

I also love looking at the gold & platinum albums on his wall from Queensryche and AIC. Lets you know your Spector is in great hands.....:bassist::bassist:
