SPECTOR® Club - Part 68

[awilkie84]

Dude, I read about your troubles with that, I fully hope that you get it back in perfect playing order and that it doesn't cost a lot! These basses need to be played!

Me too. Luckily, it looks like I should be able to use a StewMac or AllParts dual action truss rod...once my luthier gets the board lifted & removes the seized rod.

I am excoted to hear your thoughts on the 6pro......it has testicular fortitude

i would love to test drive one and A&B it to my 7 pro as well as the 8pro

I'm really interested in trting out a 435LX.
Those that know me know how much I use a HipShot D-Tuner with the Double Stop lever (dripping my E down to B).
Now I'm not convinced that 35 Bsoundes better than a 34 B, but how I do things, I wonder if the 35 would indeed tighten up a .105 E dropped to B.

Right now, I honestly don't have any big issues, just more curious.


BTW- got my SSD back- truss rod repaired. So far zero issues. Just had to make a few adjustments over the last few days as the neck settles in.

Oh my....my oh my!

I used my Spectors in a particular band that tuned down one whole step to D. I used a .110 set of strings with just fine results. When we switched from covers to an original project (same members), we ended up going down to "C". Even with the .110-.050 set, I just found that I'd lost the tone of the basses and it was just too floppy for my taste. After some helpful advice from Andy Bunk and the guys at Bass Central, I picked up my first one (and later bought Andy's when he went on his US buying spree!!!). I use a .115 set of strings and it is just perfect. I just don't care for the traditional low B strings like a .125-.135. That 35" scale works wonders in my opinion. It may all be taste, but they have really been irreplaceable for me.

So after test driving a few, I think the MB Fusion is gonna be the one.

Good call. I played one once, it was just out of my price at the time, but it sounded sweet.

Holy crap, Pt. 68? I've been away a while lol.

I did however get my NS5 strung up in E standard recently which is a first for me in ages. Sounds great as usual.
