SPECTOR® Club - Part 68

[tomydacat]

Thank you all very much, trying to help one of our brothers pick a color for a possible build...all your comments will possibly lead him down the Ultraviolet path! lol

he cant just look at your s and say HOLY GRAPENESS BATMAN ...and by the way all he has to hear is it is ULTRA violet not regular violet

I can't think of anything on a Rebop that can't be done on a US build. What did you have in mind specifically?

US BOs are not fully curved

I think the biggest obstacle here might be the bridge. I'm not sure I've ever seen a US bolt-on routed for the NS-style bridge. That doesn't mean it's not possible though. I've already seen a bolt-on with split P on a 5-string recently. Keep in mind the P pickups wind up below where the neck meets the body, so it wouldn't be in the typical P position you would see on a neck-thru. The P and J are closer together on the bolt-on.

I think mine and Donnies Ns2A's could be brothers as they have active emgs in them but mine has 2 9 v batteries in it giving it 18 volts of thunder..

booyah!

oh no not harsh at all

hmm, Maybe I'll try that out.

Thank's for asking to see the Ultraviolet bass, here is a couple pictures I took back in June when I first purchased it. Hope it's what your looking for and good luck with your build ideas!

OMG...I wish I did not see it...I thought I was SAS-free. lol

Did somebody call for UV porn?

Sorry. Can't resist.

That's what I'm talking about!

YEP ULTRA

 

[bunkaroo]

That's what I'm talking about!

The light is kind of purple-ish there already but I think it still looks pretty good.

Guys, what kind of gigbags do you carry your Spectors in? I need something light-weight but robust.

 

[Christian Waiau]

Man, I have to ask. For those of you with multiple USA Spectors (or Euros), what do you do for work? lol I think I need a career change!

I used to work at an architecture firm here on Las Vegas... But that stuff barely exists in Vegas now lol

MONO!

I use the Spector bag. I know Ra Diaz even travels with his in one and we both used them to walk around NAMM all day lol

 

[johnsonabq]

Anyone have experience with ordering off-the-wall custom stuff from Spector? I'm wondering if they'd even consider doing a US-built ReBop style bass.

Do you refer to a bolt on neck but with the more rounded body?

Exactly.

OK... I got an answer from Todd on this. He even called PJ. Short answer?

No. They're not set up to work with that body style with a bolt on neck... Sorry.

I thought it was a good idea myself and so did Todd.

 

[5string_phunk]

MONO!

Mono for me all the way! ...I have also heard good things about the iGig bag, but haven't used one myself.

I would love to see the US BO's go back to the fully carved bodies of the early days...but I also really like the slight curve of the current model!

Spector gig bags

Light weight, strong, backpack straps, plenty of pocket room and hand carry handles. They are sturdy.

 

[Holdsg]

I had an iGig for a while, loved the inside, how you could move the neck cushion around, but I didn't like the "bat wings" on the outside of it.
Now have a Protec Contego that my Euro 435 currently resides in, I think that's a very good all-around bag.
I've heard many people like the Mono bags, but I've never owned one.

I had one but sold it with my Euro in I'd buy some now but Spector site says they are unavailable at the moment and I'm not sure at all even if they had some if they'd ship it to Moscow...

MONO gigbags are cool, I saw one at a local dealer shop but it's a bit expensive...$220. iGig bags are quite heavy, 7.8 lbs vs 5 lbs of MONO.
