I'll do lippylou a favor and post a teaser pic or two. This is the "Brotherhood of the Traveling Coda" bass. However, I fully understand what he is saying. I am so spoiled by the NS body that anything else is just a bummer. If you are a Fender-style body fan, the Coda is the bass for you.

These are actually the pics that Tony used when he sold it to me! Plus an extra to show the Babicz bridge that I installed on it. It is SOOOOO good with that bridge. :D

Yeah I had to learn that the hard way, but this Coda is a Spector and its a beast. Bassil, you have a PM in route

What's the weight on that Coda, and what's the neck like? I played a few but they had chunky necks, it would be cool to find one with a thin neck and didn't weight allot.

9lbs 14oz according to official specs. It's got the standard Jazz bass 1.5 spacing at the nut. It is slimmer than the NS-2 but I like the extra chunk. Definitely cannot complain about the neck. Every luthier that makes a bass off the Jazz bass design is going to have a slightly different radius and neck profile, but all relatively similar in my experience.

It's a U.S.-made, first-generation Coda, signed and numbered by Stuart. I don't have a pic of the back of the headstock, so I don't remember the number.

Here's the back of the Coda headstock. It's a great bass and has my stamp of approval as well!

The Babicz bridges are great, THE best flat-mount (I mean, not routed into the bass like the Spector bridge) bridge I have ever used, it doesn't have side-to-side adjustment like the Hipshot or Schaller, but it is solid as a ROCK. I have them on a few of my non-Spector basses and love them.

Hello all! Sorry for the long absence. Been out of country for a little bit, I am back and I finally got the jet lag out of the system. Thank you Air Force! Anyways, hope everyone is doing well. Upon getting back to the tundra, I picked up both the Forte and Coda, went to town running through a Coheed album to learn songs by ear. I realized that I just couldn't put the Forte down, everytime I've played my Coda, I would jam for 30min to an hour then roll straight to the Forte. The NS body is impossible to move away from in my own opinion. The neck, the body, the sound. It's perfect for me. I always compare my Coda to it and it falls short. So with all that, the Coda is too good of a bass to be sitting around and my Forte will be my only bass until I get the opportunity to play any other US NS style basses. I will be posting up the bass in the classifieds for what I paid. Just figured I would give the club the heads up in case any one would be interested. It has been in the club for a hot minute! Take care!

Speaking of Coda basses, I'm liking the Coda 4P DLX and the Coda Jazz that was at the Guitar House played great as well....if your wanting an alternative to the NS it will be a nice bass to add to the collection!

Here is a picture of the P and it can also be seen on the Spector website.
