You can see how my drop tuner covers the serial number.

All packed up and ready for tonight's show, I'm going to play Iris tonight...she is sounding great with the new set of DR Lo-Rider strings I got from Jeff and Todd installed.

Right on! I made a big 5 pack order of the DR Lo-Riders which was kind of risky as I've never played these DR strings yet. I'm just tired of breaking a string and not having a backup, so I really can't wait for these strings to come in. Gonna string up all 3 basses with them and 1 in an alternate tuning. Really happy to hear that a lot of other Spector players like these DR strings. Have a good show tonight!

It's not Forte #4, it's a Forte 4. The serial number is covered by the detuner.

DOOHHH! that explains why the E sounded off too. Even though I don't have any firsthand experience with them, I should have noticed that! :rollno:

Since you've got one now (I believe) and a Forte-4 SS on order I don't figure you need another. Unless you're collecting. :D

I hear they group the Forte builds together. It'd be great if we got them at the same time. ;)

Ha. I WISH I could be a collector :D

I forgot how rounded and little the Fortes look compared to the X. It was a very comfy bass, while the T-Bird shape took a little getting used to.

Thank You...I like the DR Lo-Riders on my BEM neck, I also put the DR Hi-Beams on the Coda 4P DLX and they sound great.

You guys are making me wish I had bought the CD instead of downloading. I'd like to put the Trailight sticker next to Defy Tolerance on my rack. :)

That album is like ear candy, can't stop listening to it.

I love good instrumental w/samples.

Carey! You got it! Awesome! :bassist:

I'm stoked you guys digging the tunes!!!
There are only 30 CD's left and once they're gone, they're gone. I only printed 100 and I won't be printing any more in this format. So the first run is a "limited edition" of sorts ;)

The support from this group has been incredible and I bow down to all of you!!! :bassist:

Poster an earlier thread but I'd figure I'd poet here with the experts. I have been eyeing a spector NS-94, I've owned a few spectors, mostly low end; performer, custom, classic, and a few rebops. I'm wondering how the NS-94 compares, I know it's Korean made, but it's neck through, any info would be greatly appreciated...... There is not too much info on them, I've tried searching on here
Click to expand...
The NS-94 is a high quality bass. There are guys on here that have/had them and speak highly of the NS-94. I had a NS-95, the 5 string version, and I was amazed with it. Wish I'd kept it. An excellent bass for low dollar!:bassist:

I am definitely up for a Spector gathering. If you guys want to discuss amongst yourselves and figure out a best time to do this I will do the homework as far as hotel discounts and anything else you want to do. Just let me know. I think it would be great to get as many TB Spector guys in one place to get to hang, play and just visit and talk about our favorite brand of basses.

Great idea Carey!

Yes Carey, this bass was built in the Czech factory. It was an experiment that PJ had done. This is not a production bass. There were 3 built. 2 went to artist and the other was shown at Frankfurt. PJ had said that the Coda4P DLX is their only P style at this time, no CR P's will be officially offered. Of course this is always subject to change to do demand and popularity of the USA Coda4P DLX.

Huh...another surpriser bass! Cool! :cool:I'd like to see Spector offer the pickguard as an option on the USA & Korean basses. :cool:

A GC just outside of Seattle has this used Forte for $1999 and it plays like a dream of course. I noticed on the headstock it's listed as Forte#4 with a birthday in 2013. Does that make sense? I notice there is a smudge right before the #4, but there's really no room for another number in there. Thoughts?

I found that the matt finishes writings smudge quite easily, too easily.

Boe Skadeland from Mobile Deathcamp has one, and I played it after one of their shows recently. Boe said he loves the NS-94, but his Kramer-era NS-2 is his go-to bass, cuz he prefers the P/J sound. I sent him info on the EMG P and J pups in the soapbar housings. Stealth badassness!
