SPECTOR® Club - Part 77

[MDBass]

Stopping for a moment to think of the people and families impacted at SXSW last night. Drinking and driving is just abhorrent. :scowl:

Totally crazy, disgusting, tragic situation...we headed back to the hotel about a half hour before it happened

Different company, got offered an opportunity to get into a role that's more of what I was looking for, plus a substantial pay raise. I'll get to work from home 3 days a week too so it's a win all around.

Now THAT'S a great deal! Plus, it might yield a US custom build.

Hey Guys,
I'm sorry I haven't been on the forum for a while. What happened to all of the "My Spector Story" and "all things Spector" videos?

I believe that was all part of Spector Central and it's gone now.

That's a bummer . Was Patrick Stern maintaining that? Is he no longer with Spector? See what happens when I go away for a while?

Yeah. I think Patrick's transitioning to Bass-ics, now that he & Spector have parted ways. The only SpectorCentral page left is Chris' page.

Hey dudes, I'm at the Queensryche show now at the State Theatre in Falls Church VA. Getting ready to watch Rudy rip it up with his Euro. Tone report to follow later.

 

[iceboxbass]

Missing my new toy, funny how we get attached to these basses...Glad Jimmy is getting a chance to look it over for me!

She'll be back before you know it I'm sure of it And hopefully before we arrive on the 25th

Very cool Lee, I thought they had a little down time before the next dates...

Very very tragic

I changed my avatar in anticipation.

He should play your Forte4 SS for the show!

So cool. See if you can get close enough to yell up to the stage and ask "Hey, how much did you like my ForteSS at NAMM".

I heard him play through a Hartke rig and his tone was awesome!

 

[ntbhoang]

Just a reminder, I'm typing up the questions for Alex Webster tonight, so if any of you have any questions, send them to me in a PM or email [email protected]. Or just post here I guess

That's sick mate ! I'm looking forward to read the whole interview.

That vid that was posted awhile back showed me he nailed EJ's tone with an Acoustic amp.

o man I didn't know that stuff was taken down

Yeah, I detect a little spite in that. He could have piggy backed Spector Central onto Bassics so the rest of us could have continued to partake in it.

Because of my sidekick tonight, I got close. LOL. And yes, he confirmed he loooooved the ForteSS.




Rudy's tone tonight was insane, crushingly good. His EuroLX was dominating the mix as it should with the QR stuff. They are doing the 25 year anny of Operation Mindcrime so they did the album from front to back with Jet City Woman, Silent Lucidity and Empire as encores. Just a great show and Rudy was a super cool dude to talk to after the show. Very laid back and we just talked gear. He's a bass player's bass player in every way. It was so great to finally meet one of my biggest influences growing up. Love that guy!

 

[PhatBasstard]

I hear ya. As much as I love the company and the product I sometimes scratch my head at the marketing plan.

Yup.
....."Another head scratcher"......
as I've said many times.
They seem to have a lot of those.
