Clearwaves ns2a :). Always wanted a black 4 string, and it's tricked out the way I want it / would do it. It will probably get inlay decals too. :)))))

Yep, I'm down to one spector now:crying:Maybe I'll reload this summer. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have. BTW It belonged to peledog before me, so its been in the club for a while.

Way cool! Like it when they stay in the family !

Dudes and dudettes,
Thanks for all the Spector info and help so far. A happy coincidence has occurred and now I'm looking at possibly buying a used US-made NS-6H2, instead of buying a new Euro6LX. It's kind of a tough choice, many factors to consider - not least of which is having a lifetime warranty if I go for the Euro.

You guys have helped me with my questions on neck thickness, and so far I gather from the insight of the group that in general the Euro necks are thinner from front to back than their US counterparts (we've talked neck-through models only, so far). But where do the US-made bolt-ons fit into this equation? Are they as chunky as the US neck throughs, slimmer like the Euros, or somewhere between?

So one of the main differences between the NS-6H2 and the Euro6LX is the body shaping, correct? I read that the US one has less contouring, but where? Is the body just as arched as the Euro's? The US bolt-ons seem to have better fret access on the treble side, so that's cool. Also digging the Hipshot bridge with the adjustable spacing, which is generally kind of a must for me. And I likely would have put an OBP-3 in there to have midrange control, as I've done with all my basses. So there are a lot of positives there.

Any comparisons folks can draw between these two models would be welcome! I just spent an hour listening to peoples' Youtube videos of NS-6H2/5H2s. This particular one has a pau ferro board, maple neck, mahogany back and quilted maple top. Things I like in a bass are:

-Good at many different styles/tonalities. Versatility.
-lightweight.
-bright and aggressive acoustically, or at least not dull acoustically and capable of that modern zingy sound when plugged in without a ton of EQing.
-good balance when standing and sitting
-a sleek, slim neck (but maybe not so slim that it has stability issues - been there!)

Thanks once again!

I'm in with my " If the house where on fire and you could only grab one bass" This is that bass. NS-2 #749. Solid Black Walnut wings with the Leo Quan bridge. Basically a Brooklyn reissue. A plain Jane that delivers the best Spector tone I've ever heard, and the born on date is my daughters birthday. :) If there where a few more more moments to run back in the house, then I would grab #861 NS-2 J/J with the ultra thin neck option. Also with the Quan bridge.

too punk rock to smile ;)

Jeff sorry I didn't reply to your message sooner. I don't know what differences the GK MBE cabs have go through with the new ones, but I did really like the metal grill versions I had.

On a side note I picked up a Peavey MAX 110 practice amp used at GC yesterday and I am really loving it. It is giving me plenty of inspiration and I really only need to set it flat for a good tone.

In late with my 3. Major surgery on two next week. ReBop is getting 35P and a 35TW. Legend 4X is getting 35HZs and a BTS pre. Wish me luck, the guitarist from our church band knows how to solder and wire things up, so I'm excited and SCARED.ImageUploadedByTalkBass1392534281.917612.jpg

I have the Peavey Max115. Great practice amp and big enough to take to smaller shows :)
