Here are a couple from last summer at the Cove fest.

We played a lot of shows this last year. The first is Scarlet the Black Cherry NS2 at a club called Hogs and Hotrods, the second is a club called Turtleheads.

I'm playing in a 4 pieces Thrash metal band, thinking about getting another Spector, 4 stringer for recording stuffs, as the budget is very limit. What should i go between the Spector NS2A and a Rebop (the rebop is a little bit pricier but not much than the NS2A on used market, right ?). Thanks in advance.

I would vote NS2A for no other reason than I have one and it rocks.....

I played an older Euro today. I think it was one of the transition years, but I'm not sure. It had dots on the neck. Anyway, it seemed a little heavy compared to my NS2A. Is that a normal weight for those years? Just wondering......

Thanks...but I never got used to the cherry burst color so I sold it. It was one of the great NS-2As too. It was tuned BEAD also.

On a 34" neck? How'd that work out?

 

[nyangsw]

Could anyone tell me the neck thickness at 12th fret of euro 5?
Just want to know.
Thanks

And a question:

My Rebop has some neck dive, and I find it quite hard to play technical stuff on the upper frets while standing, I get tired much more easily than normal.
So I was planning on making the strap button longer, but I'm wondering: If I just use a longer nail for the strap lock, is there a risk of breaking the upper horn ? Do I need to make some king of reinforcement, like below

Thank you for any advice, or any other method on preventing neck dive!

Ps: I have a very good and large strap, and play my bass pretty high..

Really quite well. Played fast, like butter.

I have heard of guys repositioning the front strap button to body just under the neck to stop the neck dive. I believe that to be better solution IMHO.
