Anyone know if the Chris Kael signatures are shipping yet ? Im seriously considering selling my CRFM and getting. Love the CRFMs tone but I find myself playing my Rex way more because of the neck profile.
Yes, I believe they did. I know Todd mentioned he has 2 now in stock at Guitar House of Tulsa unless they were sold already. Give him a call, he will be able to help you out.
You know how I know my ReBop's a keeper? It has dings & wear.It even has 2 low frets in the upper upper register that have been worn almost flat. ^_^
I liked the playability and tone of my NS-2000/5, but I didn't like the look. I want a true carved NS body.
I love the true ns body shape, but for as cheap as those go and as good as they play and sound, I don't mind it looks different. That's what makes it unique and I like to be unique
Yes, Todd said that they arrived...they are on the Guitar House webb site or give them a call if you got some questions (918) 835-6959 should get you there, good luck with your purchase!
Looks like he has one in each color and only 8 were shipped all together. I'll most likely wait till spring and maybe not have to sell a bass to get it.

Watch out where the huskies go...
Any possible interest in a Rex 5 with the EMG BT system and decal inlays? I don't really wanna sell it at this point but I've been going back to jamming 4 strings at home and would really love to add a 4 string to my arsenal for live use, and keep my Euro 5 for studio use.
Any word from Todd on the new bass Jeff, I figured you would have a picture showing that it arrived for set-up????
NICE! We need to see some more pics! You are absolutely correct that it's an enormous pain in the neck to source replacement Schaller M4s with those downturned screw holes. (As you're looking at the back of the neck with the body towards the floor, they're positioned at 6:00 or pointed down.)
Luckily, the Gotoh GB7s are about as close as a direct replacement as I've been able to find. They're inexpensive and easily sourced. There's the added bonus that those are the stock tuners on the US Spectors so you know the quality is there.
The one caveat is that the posts on the Gotohs are just a bit bigger so it is necessary to ream out the pegholes slightly. I wrote about this a few threads ago. Let me see if I can dig that up. I have a stupidly expensive reaming tool from stewmac that I'm happy to lend/ship out for my Spector brethren (or if you're local to the Boston area, just come over. This is about a two beer project.) The beers offset the ass-puckering feeling as you're carving into your Euro.
And here is a link to the previous post that I mentioned before. The black GB7s are $13.50/each from Warmoth.

I've never strung a Spector E-C but I really enjoy E-C tuning. One of my basses is tuned that way now.

Todd has my NS-2 now and is doing a new setup with the DR Low Riders.

I really have no need for another 4 string but man I see pics like this and just WANT.

Can't resit another. That's it until I get the official porno shots from Todd later. He'll get it to UPS after that and then next stop... my house.
