SPECTOR® Club - Part 76

[johnsonabq]

Jeff I swear to God we could have passed for brothers back then. Same hair & mustache.

I think I even had that amp for a while...

Ha ha... yup, just add a mustache!

A couple years later I went full "hair band" look...

Now I'm just an old guy who finally caught on to what brand of bass he should've been playing all along and having fun playing them!

Yes, it's an expensive hobby but I don't have any kids and you can't take it with you.

Okay, the three beautiful words from earlier "New Spector Day" are now followed by three more... "Holy F#cking Sh!t!!!"....

HOLY COW BATMAN!!! That's an amazing looking USA bolt-on! How's the single Humbucker pickup sound? Barky I would bet? Congratulations my friend!

Sounding incredible Omer..... I'm also loving the space graphics in the video. I'll be buying the CD as soon as its available. Still spinning the other one in my car every couple of days.

+1 Omer! Are you playing the electric guitar parts on these? FINE work Omer! Looking forward to your album release!

Here's the pic of me being goofy with Boe Skadeland's Kramer-era NS-2. Mobile Deathcamp is a great band, lots of energy, very nice guys.

To Anton's point, it does have dot inlays. No Badass bridge, tho.
Serial number NS-4353. Or, is it NB?

I agree for home these are nice. But, when I was on the road regular guitar stands we're not a good thing with roadies and sound men knocking stuff over. These are overkill for home but by far the best multi-guitar stand out there.

VERY NICE! I'd seen one like yours on Amazon.com and that's the one to have if you're gigging on the road. Even if it's a bar gig I'd use one of those. I like having all of my guitars available within reach at home as it makes me more apt to play each one every day. Twice a week I gig at the same places, all support equipment is in place, all I bring is my bass and or guitar.

Yo Trace! It's an Ibanez Roadstar. This one. Played thru the amp you see there. Effects are a DBX 163 compressor and in the breakdown in the middle I'm using a Boss Pitch Shifter to thicken the sound.

NICE pic Jeff! Looking focused! I see you're using a Peavey amp but I can't tell what the cab is.

Thanks Michael. It's a Music Man 115.
I still have it and it's mate in my garage waiting to be refinished some day.

Awesome...congrats!

 

[iceboxbass]

Ok... Poll.
I have a dilemma...
I can't decide.
NS-2J w BTS pre
NS-2A w haz copy.

Which would you put an 18v haz in?

The NS-2J

 

[tomydacat]

You wanna get the most outta that NS-2000/5? Check out the P-up leads. The HZ series have the ability to split from humbucker to dual-coil mode. You can get some serious J sound punch with them!! Just wire in a push/pull for the Vol pots.

WAIT WHATTTTTTTT.!!!!!! REALLY oh the refin might have that done to it then wihtthe push pull thingy idea .. OH YEAHH

 

[iceboxbass]

LOL... Very good...
I don't have any pics from the 80's except a Harbor High Santa Cruz, CA senior yearbook pic I can't find.. but here's one with a brand new Ibby EDB600 Ergodyne late 99...
long ponytail, mustache....
nothings changed, I still have the ponytail and stache... sold the ibby.

Last Year-ish

Trace you've been playing thru Trace Elliot's a lot of years haven't you?! NICE! I would love to try some TE some day when opportunity exists. I love their looks and their built in multi EQ.

SaWeet! Love the look of vintage cabs

I hear that. It's part of the appeal that the Aggie DB212s have for me.

It looks like the MM115 would stack up great with the Aguilar DB212

I'd say a while now, yeah.

In the older pic, If I'd taken a step back... You would see my black NS-2A is hanging on the wall.

Beautiful!

That's some really nice tight flame maple on that top...

They would have, except they are now without grill cloth and most of the toltex is gone. That's why I need to refinish them. I'll use a black metal grill and after sanding down the cabs I'll cover them in Duratex.
