SPECTOR® Club - Part 73

[yeldarb69 (Brad)]

Can someone please refresh me on the contact info for the place that oxidizes the bridges to turn them black ? I had the info but I lost it.

Just saw this on ebay. I didn't realize you could get a 35" US 4 string???

I am sure it's an option, since some Euros are made that way (used to own one).

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......

that is normal, a transition year Euro has a brass bridge.

Great price if it holds....

OK, now she's exactly like I wanted!! Black hardware with a little bling! Gold saddles from the original bridge. Hipshot De-tuner on the E string!! This should be the last version of this bass!!

So should I be expecting my 01 Euro 5 to be a little heavier then my Euro 5LX? Not a huge deal, but I may have to get a better balanced strap if that's the case.

The gold saddles look really cool. I still really wish I had a Spector with a maple board but I know I'll make it happen some day! Nice bass!

Thanks man! She plays wonderfully!! These are all the things I wanted in a bass except I was looking for an ebony board. PJ found her for me and I swapped out the gold for black. The maple board has really grown on me!!

What an interesting idea!

That BEM board is giving me GAS in a bad way man! Gorgeous!

When was this bass made?

When was this bass made?

Signed date of 4/4/13

That's cool, mine is dated 12/22/12 and has the BEM board. Patrick has said that this wood will age and the pattern will get darker, it's kind of hard to notice but I think the pattern is a little more pronounced on my bass than what it was when it arrived....something to look forward to!

very cool bass, Rickenbass

I just got a response from Todd and yes, you can order a 35" on an NS4. It's a $499 upcharge.

 

[Holdsg]

I have a feeling there's going to be some serious sniping going on for that redwood NS4

It has a reserve set though, so all sniping is for not unless it reaches that price anyway
