I was a Peavey, then Fender and finally Spector bass player since 2015. Wish I had found out about Spector basses sooner...

Same with me: I played several 5-strings incl. Fender, Neuser, HumanBase, but finally came to Spector. First a Euro5LX which was great but a bit on the heavy side and now since 2014 my NS-5J2, which is around 8.5 lbs. Never heard of Spector since 2013 (o.k. I'm living in Germany). My NS-5J2 soundwise fits to all kind of music, but sometimes I still like the very distinct sound of my 1974 Rick 4001.

I'll check with our director of audio/visual to see if they have any archived that I can get my hands on.
Every 9:00am service is recorded for TV and live radio so there should be something I'd think. Let ya know when I find some.

Can you send a PM that links to the website or channel for the church and your local time zone? I'll check out a service when you are playing sometime. Thanks.

I was playing Stingray basses for 4 years prior. Once I got my Spector, everything else failed in comparison. I've been a Spector guy since then. That paired with my Ampeg 810 & svt 4 pro is tonal nirvana.

Nice collection and welcome to our Spector Bass Owners club family!

Sure will We are also on livestream and our local CBS channel. Unfortunately, our Director of audio/visual removes the worship portion by Tuesday due to copyright laws & "his schedule".

My journey began with Spector basses, when I decided I wanted to go for a high end bass. At the time I had several Fender American Standard Jazz Basses, which were my favorite for several years. I started doing my research and reading reviews, then decided on Spector. There aren't any music shops that carry Spector, so I took a chance on a Spector bass through Reverb.com. My first Spector was a Coda 4 DLX, which was similar to the Fender Jazz basses. Then I got a 1999 NS4-CR, and grew to like the NS body style. The rest is history...

I came from Ibanez worship, had tried a couple Spector Legends, wasn't my thing....went back to Ibanez, tried Fender, tried LTD, tried Kiesel/Carvin....went back to Ibanez....tried a Spector Euro, and fell in love with it! Now they are 2/3 of my collection...the other one being a Kramer Forum III (with original Spector Electronics) but I'm looking at getting rid of that to fund another Spector!

Good decision...

I paid 400 bucks, for Mine,... DEAL?

Haha. Nice try! Really though? $400?!

I'm allowed to JOKE on here, right?

Of course... I meant did you REALLY pay $400 for your NS-2? If so, what year? There's got to be a story behind that one.

Yes, I did. And... scroll up. The "story" is there.

Ah, I see. Cool. I thought you got an NS-2 for $400!

Agreed.
My Spector is my number one, but not my only one.
...And as far as instruments go, bass is my number one, but not my only one.

Me neither. But... I do LOVE My Spectors. Not to say that... We can't all get along...

I was a Spector-only guy for awhile but I have a Modulus TBX 5 (neck-thru, carbon fiber) that will be here next week.
