Ahh man, she's a beauty!! Really dig that Violet! That tone is definitely what I'm going for, love the Forte and the Aguilar set up so it should be common ground. Just with an Alder body and would like the Birdseye Maple fretboard. I wonder how much that would change the tone. I hear you on the 1.5 nut, I have smaller hands but prefer the wider profile for sure. The thickness would definitely help, once you get used to the thicker necks it's hard to go back to the skinny ones. How is the finish on the necks? If she's gone, is that a good thing??

It's always a good thing to get a Spector into the hands of someone who is wanting one, I was hoping he liked the tone as much as I did but the fella was in a search.
The neck on my Coda P-bass is a matte finish BEM, the UV Coda P/J is a Pau Ferro board. You can check the Guitar House webb site to see it and read the list of options that it has and if your interested in a new design you might contact Todd to assist you.
