I will own a UV NS2 someday. Such a gorgeous bass! Love the ebony board too!
 
In with my new delivery from yesterday.I am switching back to 35 scale so i will be looking for another one,preferably matte black with the TW pickups. If you have one and want to sell it hit me up.With that being said i do have an NS-2A that i will be letting go of if anyone is interested.
Pic required of said NS-2A... :eyebrow:
 
Didn't get a chance to respond before the other thread was closed.

With the serial number "NB0074", Swampy is indeed a Euro4.

Spector started the serials over with the Euro4 and Euro5 basses (2001) with an "NB" in front.
No NSCR bass has such a serial number.

Good to know, thanks! (And knowing is half the battle....) :ninja:

Like many others on this forum I have some serious Swamp envy sir.

That is really an amazing specimen.

I concur. I'm actually surprised that Stuart let these wings go to the Czech shop at all. From what I understand, they source their wood from the US for their builds. Not that I'm complaining. Believe me. From my cold dead hands, they will have to pry swampy.
 
but in the ns2 ??? I think Dave Fowler had one maybe?

Dave had his pink and black NS-2 repainted in a tobacco burst finish. I may be wrong, but Pat Wilkins may have done that one.
I loved that pink and black…it killed me to see it disappear. Also, I am NOT a fan of brown basses, but the TB finish on that bass was amazing. Pat Wilkins does amazing work.
 
Ohhhh ahhhh. Flagged for outrageous, gratuitous woodiness. And by that I mean contrasting slivers of awesome. :bassist:

"Contrasting slivers of awesome." Love that. Thanks, man!

In with the Coda 4P DLX, still need to name it so it will fit in with Iris and Scarlett.

That blue P Bass is one of my favorites for sure. So happy to see it here in the club!

In, with the best photo I could get of my office / practice space. It's a spare bedroom, so space is limited:

Make some room for the Coda 4! :bassist:
 
Yeah, I mostly use my headphone amp when I practice at home. Sometimes I decide it's time to jam at 10:00pm, and that's when I remember that my Cafe Walter is the best EVER!

I'm looking for a better headphone solution, but what I've got works.. Maybe I need to look at the headphones first.

That tobacco burst is awesome. I love seeing all the stained/glossed quilts. Feels like zooming along a mountain range.

First of all, the Cafe Walter HA-1A headphone amp has the clearest, most pure sound I have ever heard. It's amazing.
Walter recommended either a $200 set of Audio Technica headphones, or a $50 set of Koss open-ear headphones for their clarity of sound production. I went the cheap route, and I'm glad I did. The Koss headphones sound excellent! I got a set of expensive Sennheiser headphones for Xmas, and they don't sound nearly as good as the cheapies. Walter knows his stuff!
