Watch out where the huskies go...
I just refinished my Legend 5 from gloss to matte and changed out my pre to TP. No wonder it sounded totally different.......
That is interesting though. How did the change in finish affect your basses tone?
I will say after not playing a fiver in quite a while, I think I prefer my 4banger (NS2A) I just feel so clumsy on my fiver.....
I didn't do a refin. I was referring to a Euro4 in matte and an NS-5XL in high gloss finish. Both of which I'll have shortly. Since they will both have the EMG DC pickups and the USA 18v preamps any tonal differences should be attributable to the wood/finish. (same type of strings too)
I have been using the EMG DC pups for many years and like them a lot. The USA 18v pre has nothing but rave reviews here.
These will be my two main basses (until my UV NS-2 is done, hopefully before the end of the year). This means I'll be swapping out between them all night. I should get a good idea of how the wood/finish changes the tone.
Once the NS-2 arrives with the EMG P/J pups and the USA 9v preamp I'll be off on a whole 'nother tonal journey!
During the Kramer Era around 1987 they started experimenting with graphite rods. 1509 was one that had them but the majority didn't. They usually marked a "G" after the serial # on the Kramer NS-2s with the graphite rods.
In 1993 all USA Spector basses had graphite rods.
Some early SSD prototypes didn't have the graphite rods
As far as the 3-piece necks they started using 3-piece necks around 1979/1980.
Been thinking all morning about ICE......... Sending love and prayers. Hope Mrs ICE can give an update soon.
This club still amazes me all the time on what a true brotherhood we have. I don't take this wonderful community for granted ever. SPECTOR PLAYERS are the best.
She's declawed, right? RIGHT??? The thought of kitty using one of those Spectors as a scratching post makes me queasy!
Which one of you fine gentlemen are giving club numbers? Owner of a Legend Classic 4 and a 5. Still saving for an Euro.
You are correct that is the bass.
Just some history on that bass.
I ended up getting that on Ebay. It was a 7day listing and
I was the only person who bid on it.
I remember sitting in the final moments as the bidding was ending hitting refresh waiting for someone to outbid me and it amazingly didn't happen.
Eventually that bass was sold to Jeffplaysbass In Nov, 2011
Who owned it till June, 2012. I think a record for him
After he sold it. It went through 3 hands within 2 weeks before it found a home again with cableguy.
Here is some history on a another bass I previously owned.
The NS-2JAR that you see in my photo was sold to MadBassPlaya who sold it to Worshiprocker within 2 days.
It is now Cadillac Green owned by Master of Refins Mr.Bassie720
P.S. You know your insane like me when you can look at each bass you owned and recall the history of instantly.

Did the bass have the newer HAZ in it when you got it?
In, with both thoughts for ICE and some cool news.
Wally TRM (http://www.youtube.com/user/WallyTRM), a spector artist who plays for the hysteria has asked me to do a cover of one of the songs off of his band's new EP- I stupidly went and picked the hardest one! I might end up doing a different song than I originally planned to, but regardless of which I pick, it'll be a workout. Hopefully I'm up to the challenge!

Absolutely. Her and her sister are both declawed.
I have a bunch of antiques, stuff I inherited (my mother's grandfather and her father were furniture makers so I have a bunch of beautiful hand-made furniture).
They're both really good about never messing with the basses.
The worst I get is them sleeping on top of my cabs.

I'm assuming you're talking about the NS2A-JAR. If you're talking about the NS2A that I currently own, it came to me upgraded with EMG P/J set & EMG BTS EQ circuit.
Agreed. I am not a big fan of bursts, and especially tobacco, but that looks awesome.
Awwww, I love cats. I once caught one of mine lounging on my upright when I left it on its side with my door open- it was way to adorable for me to be mad!
Thanks Donny! It's gonna take some wood sheddin', but I think I'll manage
