SPECTOR® Club - Part 71

[iceboxbass]

The neck on Euro's are usually thicker front to back then NS-2A's. This particular Euro seems to have an extra beefy neck.

On another note, which I guess shows how insane I am.
I know the last 7 owners of this bass. The Ser# is NB2525

I remember ebradfordrich selling it back in May 2012.
So since then its been with:
ebradfordrich
gearHed289
Jeffplaysbass
Mr.Bassie720
brotherbassj
Smadder

Eric, do you remember who you originally purchased it from?

I think you may have even Pm'd me asking questions about it before you bought it.

How easy are 35" scale 4-string Euros to get ahold of?

918-835-6959 call and ask for Todd Cooke. You won't regret it.

I am proud to say that I am no longer a lurker in this club.

The other night I went out and bought my dream bass, a 1999 NS-4 CRFM with MOP inlays.

Never thought I'd say this, but I would like a number.

We must have pictures first!

And then PM tracebassplayer.

Welcome to the club and the land of SAS!

...And I want the purple Spector on Todd's bench I saw a while back.

Oh, you mean this old thing! LOL I've actually been thinking of trying this through my old GPX12 SMX preamp to see how it sounds. I used that pre with a Stewart PA1000 for many years.

 

[MikeBass]

Thought I had my 94 SSD sold.
Deal fell through.....will give seriously good deal to a club member....

I love every single change that Joe had done on this bass. I can't wait to play it through my big rig. My only problem is I am going to need to used different strings to down tune. The badass bridge doesn't fit a .115 Dunlop Heavy Core. I think I can get away with a tapered or exposed core .110/.115 any suggestions for strings with higher tension?

Good to know. I was going to throw my BA2 on my Fender & BEAD tune it!

On the way!

Has the 18v HAZ in it now. Would love to get my hands on a 9v HAZ but, baby steps.

Keep the 18v; it was specifically designed for the DC pickups.

If the 9v was a perfect match for the DC's I'm sure PJ would never have asked the HazLab guys to design the 18v

I'm really liking the DR brand (using Lo-Riders), you will have to look them up to see if they build something that fits your bridge....have you ever tried these strings?

I use to use DR Lo Riders… DR, Dunlop and D'addario are my favorite strings

110 DR's will fit the BadAss II just fine, I used to use DR 110's on my BadAss equipped frankenjazz for BEAD tuning...I personally prefer Hi-Beams/Sunbeams, but if you want something with higher tension go for the one of the Lo-Rider sets, and if you need to go heavier than 110's you should try a Longneck set...those are just stainless Lo-Riders tapered at the bridge to a single wrap over the core

Just looking through the GC used site and spotted this good deal on a NS-2a here for anyone looking:

Good question, Sam. I had to troll back through my PMs but it looks like I procured it from Guygrooves back in February 2012. That lovely was the Spector gateway drug for me.
