I'm in, but still no new pictures. Here is a little tribute to Spectors I no longer own.

83 Brooklyn NS2 (now owned by none other than Todd Cooke, so it went to great hands)

05 Euro 4LX with bubinga top wings.

In with an up to date group shot, including the newest addition, early 2000s Legend 4 Bubinga I traded a Dean ML for last week. No $$ for new basses so it's trading time.....:bassist:

I use Dunlop formula 65 guitar polish & cleaner on the Ultraviolet (body and neck) and the Black Cherry (body and back of neck), Todd used a fiddle oil on the Pau Ferro board when he put the new strings on it for me...I forget the name of it but the board looks fantastic and I need to ask him what it's called so I can hunt some down!

Found my note card: Lewis Fiddlebrite Lemon oil, it's actual oil and doesn't have the additives that will cause damage.

When I get a Spector with a Pau Ferro FB I might look into that oil:)

From Page 6 of Part 68...



IN on Part 69 (hehe), with Photographic Proof that it all went down, and splendidly!

I made a Friend of one of my Heroes!

Such a cool, cool Cat. Picked him up from Akron/Canton Regional this past Friday, jammed onstage with him that night and he stayed at my place.

Maximus wouldn't leave him or his stuff alone.

Richard did his Solo set, then the Big Jam with Jeff Hatfield (Guitar), DarkMatter/WhiteFire (Lisa Miralia [Elektronix] & Robert O'Lexa [Drums]), Rick Kodramaz [Primary bass] & Myself [Spector NS2-A & Computer Synthesizer Rig/FX comprising Emulations of an ARP 2600 and the XILS3, a VCS3 on steroids, the Monitor of which you can see off to my Left]

Invalid Link Removed

My Bass Amp was the only thing not to get PA support due to some Technical Imperfections, so i ended up letting Rick rockin' it while I jammed the Noize...

Invalid Link Removed

That's the only gig that I actually played with him, but for the rest of the Weekend my Task was to get him to Saturday night's Gig in Erie, PA, then back to Ohio Sunday Night to perform in the Percussion Room of the Oberlin Conservatory!

I took him sight-seeing Saturday Afternoon before getting on the Road for Erie...

Invalid Link Removed

Back from Erie on Sunday Afternoon, I made him Breakfast back @ my place and then took him to Guitar Center to buy a copy of the latest Guitar Player because there's a review of his latest album - "Desolation Row" - on the First Page of Record Reviews (Get it & check it out!).

Then on the Road to Oberlin for his Duo set with Aaron Dilloway, a VERY nice Man in his own right.

Incredible Conversations with Mr. Pinhas over the entire Weekend while we did all of this. If anyone has pre-conceptions of the French being Rude & Aloof, he's NONE of that, despite the heavy Academic Background & having been a part of History, and not just Music History: Look into his Role in the May '68 Student Revolt in Paris.

We made History in Cleveland & a Spector NS2-A was a part of it. :)

Put my deposit down on my first custom US Spector. Here's the specs:

NS-5H2,
BEM fingerboard with abalone inlays, bahama blue matte body, std string spacing, OBP3 preamp, and EMG PJ5 pickups.

Going for the NS2 in a US Bolt 5er. Biggest question I have is what is the normal wait process like? I don't want to pester the shop for pictures or anything but what is normal practice for communication on their end? It'll be my 5th Spector but my first that I actually spec'ed and didn't just buy out of an inventory. My Euro5 will have to placate me for the wait.

Sounds really GREAT! Looking forward to seeing it finished. It seems as Bahamas Blue Spectors are taking about 8 months...that's how long my BB Coda 5XL took...that's a special multi steps process finish. Normal communication is usually thru your dealer...but, PJ will communicate with you via email or phone, he's a great guy. (Get ready to sell that Euro...when you receive your new US 5 you'll want another one :) )

I want in! Here's my rig of rigs. Also, I don't know if I'll be the first to have one, but I'm currently having a USA Coda P-bass made. It's gonna take four months but I can't wait!
