SPECTOR® Club - Part 70

[MDBass]

alright guys I'm selling my Euro 4 with 18v installed. I'm SASin hard for Joe's JAR. Club discount applies. So either buy mine or Joe's but we gotta keep that JAR in the family.

Just bumped both threads...fortunately I have my NS-2 to placate myself, otherwise I'd be in danger of making not one but TWO 'want' purchases

For those wanting to get into a Spector there sure are a lot of beautiful basses for sale right now.

For me it's the long awaited Coda P Bass I need to save for

 

[puremetal33]

I should have Jeff's black on black Euro 4LX TW (w/ US 18v and EMG DCs) end of the week here. Can't wait to get my hands on it.

FYI...in case you're not on FaceBook or missed PJ Rubals announcement, there's choices for pickup arrangements for the Coda this year...single P pickup is one of the choices, YES! WooHoo!

How many of you guys are using nickle strings ? I've been through 5 different kinda of steels looking for the right ones and still havent found "the" set.

Nickels just die too fast for me. I prefer the brightness and the raspy feel of stainless.

Yeah, I like bright SS too. I'm trying DR Low Riders on my NS2 and use DR Hi Beams on my fiver.

 

[AdamR]

I like bright too but theres something about my tone I dont like Its not amps or cabinets cause its there with both heads and cabs.

That's my old bass, I believe........it's PURE BLISS........

I'm a big fan of Sadowsky black label stainless and the Circle K's which are even tension.......how ever my basic go to strings are D'addario XL's which are nickle

 

[TinIndian]

I'm using DR HiBeams on my Ns2a with EMG's. I love them on it. I prefer SS strings to nickel because like you I find that nickel strings go dead to quickly.

Yes it is Jamie. I really wanted to keep that bass but my NS2 broke the bank and I had to bring the stable down to my two new basses.

 

[AdamR]

Im not to worried about longevity. I change my strings pretty often.

If you're finding the problem through process of elimination you need to step through the whole "tone chain"...

fingers - strings - pickups - preamp - bass amp - speaker cab; they all play a part in your tone.

The quest for the right strings can take awhile. Just keep working at it.

Exactly why I'm down to one...my Coda 5XL...until I get enough to order a Coda P bass.

Next step is back to fingers over pick.

I have found that my main method of playing the bass is with my fingers. And use the pick only on songs that I feel require the "pick sound". IME YMMV VWPBL
