I'd like to say that the Spector hang seems to have been really cool, I actually would have gone it if it were not for the simple fact that being lefty, I guessed that there would not be a single lefty for me to play. In a room surrounding by insanely awesome basses, can't play a single one. I tried to learn the normal way as a kid, I could fret chords (acoustic guitar) well but had zero right hand control. Eventually I flipped it over and it instantly felt right. My grandma forced me to be lefty and now my 2 kids are Lefty's! At least they'll have a lot of guitars and sweet basses if they end up P playing. I would love to actually play a USA bass, if ever one is made.

We actually have a lefty Legend in stock. Don't want you to think we don't like lefties.

That's Madjamin's bass in Peacock Blue. It's gorgeous! I think Mark told me he was going to order it , then found the exact bass he wanted without waiting.

Yes this is Peacock Blue and we had it in stock at Guitar House. Kind of funny when Mark called about it, said this was the exact bass he was going to order and couldn't believe it when he saw it on our site. Great when a plan works out.

Just had a first rehearsal with the band in my sig that says "old band" in 2 years. We are kicking the tires and shaking off the rust. It was the perfect opportunity to get to play the NS2J I bought from Todd a few months back with a band for the first time. Sounded fantastic. That 2 J setup is so smooth compared to the PJ. In regards to versatility and being able to "tame" the tone in spots, it really is the best setup in my opinion.

You got it Rob. There's just something about the tone of the JJ Spectors.

I still remember we changed the order of two songs just prior to youth services and and I run straight into a Chris Tomlin and and everyone else is on Building 429. Yeah, that was 8 bars I'll never get over, or not be reminded of on a monthly basis. I was just going along with my headset on and I was like why is everyone looking at me. So yours is nothing compared to mine.

This NS2 bass was at the Spector Hang and it had a one of a kind finish: Can you tell me what the finish is called? Who is the owner of this bass (you might be able to zoom in on the card to find out...lol)? Also...isn't it amazing how the body color pops out in the inlays of these basses?

What really popped out to me on this bass is how the body wood grains bend into a semi-circle:):thumbsup::woot: Nice color scheme also!

For a change of pace, last night I put some D'addario nylon tape wounds on my NS-2JAR. They are much less compressed sounding than the LaBellas I am familiar with. Tamed the zing, but there is still some pop in the sound. Interesting experiment thus far. Don't know how long they will stay, but I dig the look of the black strings on a white bass.

This guy friended me last night. His name is Jason Brown. Here's another shot that shows the clean ebony neck. I'll see if I can recruit him into the club. :thumbsup:
