So I've been wondering, is it possible to install the preamp from a US model into a Euro ? This may have been asked or covered before. So my apologies if it's been asked to death lol

If you're thinking about installing an actual 9V HAZ Labs preamp, then yes, I believe the board is small enough to fit into the cavity for a Euro bass

Yeah I'm thinking about getting one from Spector. It's betwen that a DG tone Capsule and a Aguilar OBP3

Is this a record price for a Kramer NS-2A ? Although the ad mentions an NS-2 it appears to have all the NS-2A hallmarks.

Just an FYI, I listed my white Euro 5 JJ (Darryl Anders) on the FB SBN page. It will probably be listed in the TB classifieds and elsewhere, eventually. This was owned previously by Tom and Michael. The one with Barts and Darkglass TC. Needing to free-up space for a new build, and I'm in no particular hurry to sell.

It's ridiculous what people are charging and trying to get away with lately for Kramer era NS-2A's, B's and C's. Someone on reverb is charging $2500 for a NS-2A, because it belonged to a guitar player from Twisted Sister

Yeah, that's completely insane for a stock NS-2A with neck issues. Just because somebody from Twisted Sister owned it

And myself (<--- Tom, the previous owner). GLWTS! Very nice bass.

First time posting for first Friday.
87/88 NS-2A, Mike Starr signature, early 87 NS-2A, 88 NS-2A and a mid 99 NS-4cr

Hopefully adding a 13 Forte next week. I will probably be selling a few of these to help fund the forte. The teal NS-2A and NS-4cr most likely in the next few days

If you don't mind me asking, what strings are you using on these?

I was in contact with them about that a week ago. Spector gave Eddie that bass and I think he is unaware of the difference. The broker is clueless on it. They've been informed. If it sells as an advertised "NS2" and then they send it back as misrepresented, it'll be the brokers hard lesson.

Hi there,
Most of them have DR Black beauties. One has D'Addarios and onehas DR sunbeams.

"Right now the truss rod is maxed, with some relief still in the neck. It has a medium action to it. There are some spots of wear around the body, and one of the control knobs is missing."

Take my money, please!

Ah, ok. I was wondering if those were black beauties or tapewounds. Thank you. I am waiting for delivery this week of a used Legend 4 Classic and am trying to decide what strings I am going to start with. I have sets of Sunbeams, Roto 66 Nickels and Boomers unopened on the shelf but I am considering Flatwound or Tapewound also. Probably will end up with Sunbeams but we'll see.

Yes, the 9V HAZ pre will fit in the Euro. You will have to ream the control holes a little bigger to accommodate the larger pot shafts.

The best I've ever used in my 5 decades of experience.

Looks like a rough and noisy string

So has anyone put a Aguilar OPB-3 with DCB soapbars in a Rebop? I just heard this combination and it sounded fantastic.

I'm waiting for Spector to reply to my dealer.

Yes! All stock with Aguilar newest Super Splits. The only custom feature will be that the passive tone will be effective with the pushed tone knob not vice versa. So all passive by default with the possibility to engage OBP2 by pulling the tone pot up. The color is like the one on the picture.
