SPECTOR® Club - Part 71

[neptoon]

that totally rocks...of the 6 spectors I've owned, my US ns-2j was one of the more special ones in terms of sound...it also weighed about 7 and a half pounds that one is totally gorgeous...congrats

Approximately six months ago I ordered a new bass. This morning Christmas came early for me . I present to you guys, The Riddler! It is a matte green stain neck through J/J with US 9 V circuit, very thin neck, original Leo Quan Badass bridge and black Schaller tuning machines. The guys at Spector totally surpassed my expectations, which were already high, and delivered something that is just flat out amazing. Playability, fit and finish and more importantly the sound are unlike any other Spector I've played. The big surprise was the very rich thick tone. I was expecting, and was willing to live with, less low mids for the sake of highs and high mids. Not so. I get both! I was going for a Brooklyn vibe with the Leo Quan bridge, I think I got something really really special

GREEN with Envy wow what a bass I am loving the flat/matte looking basses more and more..

Hey sd,

Very cool, what is the weight difference of the Badass versus the Spector bridge?

I'm just guessing, but I would say the Badass I weighs 1/3 of what the Spector bridge weighs. The US Spector bridge is massive.

Hey dudes and dudets,

Due to some (ahem) recent acquisitions I'm going to be letting my US9V (Haz) equipped Forte 4 go. As always, the Spector discount applies. Just pm me if you are interested.

Woah - that walnut is so figured, I thought it was water-cured redwood!
Congrats, Lee!
Can't wait to see more of this one....

Not a fan of the color Green BUT that is the 2nd Green Spector in the Club that I've seen and been absolutely blown away by... MUST be a Spector thing!!! And this one is about perfect! Congrats!

 

[iceboxbass]

Sorry for the derail...just thought what a revolutionary idea for intonation adjustments on a bass guitar bridge. CARRY ON!

 

[iceboxbass]

Wow! Ho that is one gorgeous GREEN Spector bass!!! Congratulations! Welcome to the J/J's! What you described and was surprised is how I feel with my Coda5XL DLX.

Yes the Spector is massive, have you noticed any out of balance or neck dive?

Lee and Joe, congrats on the amazing additions!

Michael,
That looks like a tuning bridge a la Steinberger. Cool looking bass though.

I just got done talking with our Brother Andrew Bunk, his part of the country got hit with a Tornado today but he is doing ok...guess these storms cut into a few states today and I'm glad Bunk and his loved ones are fine!

Ho. Loving that bass bass bro you have some excellenta taste . Trouble in paradise for me though . The other day I put my 18v harness on my eurolx with tone pump just like I have in the past and when I started playing the bass was overdriving the front of my head almost like the pre had been kranked up. So I thought damn and took the harness off well it still was doing it and basically the bass is unplayable . I looked in the cavity and found the white wire going to the vol on the j pup has a little burnt look to the covering . I never seen this before and have never had a problem with the 18v hook up . Anyone know what happened? I'm in complete depression right now and frustrated . I wish I knew more about this stuff .

would a US bridge fit on a rebop?
