Watch out where the huskies go...
I knew you two hatching some sort of plan over there.
We do it on the first Friday but no worries. You can show off that Coda any time.
Sorry bro, i thought Ginger was an ssd us, its hard to keep everyones beautiful spectors straight
Ginger is a 2001 Us and sandie is my 96 SSD euro .. Its all good
So, I fired up #800 at practice before anyone showed up and WOWSA!!!! Sounded great, but then the i.e.m went in and I could not get any kind of a good level from the Aviom. Not a fan of those things at all. Hopefully when a few hundred people get in, some of the mix will calm down enough for me to play with one in and leave the other out to hear the room. Love the bass though!! So well balanced, and does not feel heavy when strapped on. Thanks again and again Sam!

When I use the Aviom I tend to turn everything down and just play to the click with the bass level up on its channel, I'm lucky and get to stand over the top of the out front bass driver getting to feel the warmth.
We don't have a click, unless the Aviom has one somewhere?? We used to have a 410 on stage....which I loved. I had everything but the bass turned down, and I think when the room fills up, all those highs from the other instruments will tame down for me.
I too am curious for these answers. I was just searching these very options this morning.
There are a couple 40 sized Nordstrand options: The Dual Blade Neo for 5-String and the Nordstrand Dual Coil for EMG40 with parallel wind.
Also, the Aguilar DCB-G4 Dual Ceramic Bar Bass Pickups and the Seymour Duncan Basslines SSB-5NYC Phase II NYC Passive Soapbar 5 String set.

Really SaWeet black CR Spector Steve!View attachment 487122 View attachment 487123 View attachment 487124 As long as we're talking about SSDs, here's some "First Saturday" pics of my 1994-ish SSD NS-4CR. It has a single "figured" line, just above the P pup. I know this because that's a blackburst finish. No camera phone will ever reveal that, tho.
So glad you are enjoying it.
You probably realize this already, but just a reminder
since this is the first 9V USA HAZ Circuit you are using.
The knobs are on with the dot at the center detent pointed up towards you. Vol pointed up is full.
They are also placed differently then your Euro's may be.
I would start with the circuit as shown in the photo below, with the volume slightly rolled down a drop and everything else at center detent.
This way you have some way to boost the volume a bit if you need.
Also with the 9V USA HAZ circuit, the bass and treble tend to boost "the volume a bit" differently then
other pre amps which tend to make adjustments very quickly, thus, being boomy or glassy.
So glad you are enjoying it.

Thanks Sam. It took me a minute at practice to realize the the treble and bass are opposite of what most other basses are. I did leave it pretty much set up like you have it here. The amp that we go direct post out of is some Yamaha digital something with like 4 volume knobs and a bunch of stuff I do not need. I am going to talk to our worship leader to see if I can just use a Radial Tonebone or something super simple to get the tone from the bass itself. Loved all the clack and clank though!!!!So glad you are enjoying it.

Hello
I stripped truss rod nut and when I tried to turned it with damaged screw head remover tool ,truss rod nut cracked.
Truss rod nut is still in normal shape but with small crack.
Can be truss rod nut removed with tool or is need to remove fretboard?
The bass is Spector rebop 5 string with trussr od screw nut on head.
Thank you very much for answer.

If you can get the nut to turn. Proceed to turn it like you are loosening it.It should come all the way off and you can then just replace the nut.
First I tried to loosen it with normal screwdriver and it wont turn. then I tried with tool for demaged nuts and it wount turn , screw nut just cracked . As I said it doesnt fell apart . Crak is half a screw nut long. I won to know if its any chance to loosen it without taking fretboard off the neck? I twill take bass to luthier and service here in my country, but I want to prepare myself for bad news and expense
Ah man, you're making me homesick for my former Big Blue
That is really gorgeous brother!There have been conflicting reports on the truss rods in the rebops, your best is to contact PJ at Spector and see what he suggests.
I'm in Charlotte, NC, 5 hours south of Richmond. If you ever find yourself down here and want to play a SSD Euro, hit me up.
