I like the 3.8 pounds and I would love reducing the speaker cabinet size and weight but man these new NS2 basses are sounding sweet in my old Peavey Mark 8 running into the 1820 cabinet except when I play at the casino because of the dead floor...I like to feel the cabinet on the floor with the 18" vibration with the twin 10" popping on top, plus the 9 band EQ in the amp adjusted to your recommendation is providing a nice mid.
Yet....I feel the need for exploration!
^^
I can relate...
Right-on Torn!
Hehehe
KILLER!!! Congratulations! Did you buy from a TBr?
I knew that you would find the humor Ice, glad your feeling better bud!!!!

Watch out where the huskies go...
WooHoo!I'll be in town for a few days Sep. 12-15. Lets get together. Besides trying out your new bass rig, I'd like to finger around on your new Spectors...and maybe a reunion with #36.
Mike that sounds great but we will be living with my 80 year mother god bless her soul ...lol till our new home is complete shes in great health and I'm sure she would be down for some bass thumping and plucking so shouldn't be an issue . Its about a 1/4 mile from were we live now. So get in touch when the time gets closer . Hey I will make you deal u can't refuse brother .. I got another axe I can't mention on this thread you can try out too.
You can talk about all your stuff with us Brother, heck you just put pictures up of your new speakers so why not basses????
We need an EMG - TP Shoot Out!
The shoot out is over for me. I traded the trim pot TP out of my LX for an EMG BQC, and now I need one for my Rex. Can put the mids much more to the front! I should have just got one before I got rid of my TH500, but now I have a reason to try an MB Fusion before I go back there...
On the other hand, Levi, who I traded with, says he's very happy with the TP. It's so much in each players head and ear.
I would love to hear the BQC through the TH500. But who knows; that may happen, eventually.
The two band EMG (BTC?), has sharper highs, but not brittle, and very nice lows, especially through 2 "J" pups, like my former NS2-JAR. However still not enough cutting mids for me. First the BQC for my Rex, then maybe a pair of DC's, if needed.

congrats!
I've very curious to try a BQC or OBP-3, but I love the TP... hmm and as much as I like the haz copies in my ns2a and ns2000/5 I much prefer the TP and maybe even a BQC or OBP-3The shoot out is over for me.

Which 215 are you using Lee? In one of my former bands I played thru a Kustom 215 but the Amp really SUCKED (It was the house amp where we practiced) so I really never heard the 215's full potential.
It's a Dually 215, a spec set cab designed by greenboy and built by one of his certified custom builders. Mine was built by Don Barry or Barry Audio Design.
Here it is in the background with my, then, Mesa M9 on top.

Interesting - the 2-band EMG BTC didn't work for me (had one in my recently sold CRFM), so I plan on swapping out the non-trim TP in my white Euro for the trim version. Sam, Patrick & Donnie have convinced me that it should suit my tonal requirements nicely.
Noooooo....don't give in
What you have sounds awesome I love the floor vibes of a great 18". Everyone feels it! We have one on our church stage...love it when the right SB tech likes turning it up more when I'm playing. Wonderful Spector magic happens! Congratulations brother cyclops!
Thanks...it's great to feel soooo much better after 3 years too.
I was starting to be that grumpy old man on the porch...telling the young whipper snappers to "get off my lawn"! Lol 
No worries Grasshopper...I will teach you everything there is to know about multi quoting.
Cool...ThanksJohn Myung

Ah...a custom order cab...costly I suppose? I like that its ported too. I bet it makes your pants flap, eh!
Thanks Lee
Thanks man (and everyone else in the club too). Seriously, I can't concentrate at work the last two days. Then I went to guitar center and they just got in a legend 5 classic, so I'm even more antsy after playing that for a minute. Haha.
Just finished swapping out the GHS flat wounds for GHS Black nylon tape wounds...I'm in love all over again! <3 Love that near upright bass tone...so smooth, full tones with lots of sustain. But yet...if I raise the Aggie jazz pickups close to the strings it gets gritty, real gritty. And my B-15T was pounding my legs! Good to know for future use. I need to order a D string as it wouldn't fit my Coda as its the longest and these were on my former Forte 5 for a short bit. I tried but I broke it winding it too tight just to get 1 winding.

Will this be your first Spector bass?
My third so far. I had an NS2000/5 that was just too heavy for me at that point in time and the 5th string kept confusing me. That was in my first year of playing so I had to simplify. I've been looking for an NS2000/4 ever since. Right now I have a Performer Deluxe, which is super awesome and has done more than tide me over in the meantime. Love Spectors. I especially love the fact that their lower cost stuff in my price range is still super high quality.

HUMMM...wonder what these would sound like on my fretless???
