It's great to hear from you Trace! :D Still riding? How's life treating you?


Hey Ice!!!
I'm doing good. Yep, still riding, though the rainy season has started. I'll be able to get some home projects done now. Catching up on some things slowly. Might go sit in with a friends band till they find another bassist.
How are things going for you nowadays?
 
Thanks to everyone who has donated or will donate to Steve Gordon.

He wanted me to say thanks and hello.

He hasn't been on here lately since he doesn't have internet access and has a hard time with the phone app.

He also said he finds much peace and relaxation playing his Spector when he has the strength to do so.
 
The NS4CR is back on the block if anyone's interested. PM for "club" price. :bassist:

This NS4CR was in my possession when I set it up another Spector Club member (who was also named Jeff) had it shipped to me from the original owner who had it in a case for most of its lifetime.
It’s in great condition and feels and plays great.

Here is a photo from the Lima wall :bassist: :)

Quick question guys, Anyone familiar with this particular board? Thanks for any ID help, i do need to repair the one terminal post thats missing. Other than that it's NOS awaiting it's Spector for a few decades. Hazlab part# 103179. From what this site says Early Kramer is this correct on any NS-2 you guys have from that era? http://www.sfcj.net/en/e_data_Preamps.html.

It does appear to be an early Kramer Circuit.
It appears to be sharing some parts from the Brooklyn era and others from Mid Kramer era.

P.S.
The terminal that is missing doesn't technically need to be repaired, you can always solder the wire directly on the board.

Awesome...sounds like a lot of fun you're having. Glad to hear your doing well.
I'm doing well...playing in 2 bands 2 days a week sometimes more often, between that, with rehearsals plus home practices, I keep pretty busy. Loving retirement since Jan.! :bassist: Peace brother! :D
My iPhone upgraded to ios7 and now I can't open links in talkbass even reinstalled the app. All I get is "network error try again".
Yeah...I found the FB APP mostly worthless for 2 years now and the APP designers attitudes when I contacted them about the glitches just sickened me...so I just use Safari. It's a lot easier and less frustrating. :)

Thank you, it should be a period correct replacement then, what did the factory use for a non conductive shield between the copper foil and the circut board? Heres the current one im replacing.

If you will PM me your address I will send you a new post. You will need to know how to solder. 😄
 
Hi all! So as some of you may remember, I have a 6 string custom Euro on order for F# tuning. I've had the crazy idea to string it with color coated strings to match the body because why the hell not? :) thing is I can only find colored strings down to .125 and that gauge will never hold an F#. So do any of you know where I can get fatass strings for F# that are either red or black? Or both? :)
