Congrats on the QC! Just received my QCm and got it wired in up. Amazing how competent and intuitive these things are. Parallax X sounds pretty beastly with the Dimension PX/DCX LHZ.

Just ordered some of those clearance 40JCS pickups for the NS2000/5. Will pair with the EMG BQC in my Iceman, putting a tonepump in the Iceman with the 45DC's.

Outdoor show last night in SC. It rained, it cleared, it was humid and my Classic 5 kicked butt and took names!!
Hey, Does anyone know where to get more details on the SNC haz clone preamp? Like a wiring diagram or schematic? I'm currently in possession of a Euro LT with it installed (the 2 board version), and trying to troubleshoot some loose connection or short.
I would post in one of the Facebook Spector groups. Sheldon Crane is still sometimes there and may answer. But it's a Haz clone so any Haz schematic would be identical.

My first Spector (Icon 4), which will serve as a lighter-weight alternative to my Ric 4003. Gotoh GB350 Res-o-lites were a drop-in* replacement for the originals; that's about the only mods I'll be doing for now.
So Spectors are a slippery slope, huh... I bought my first a couple weeks back, spent the last week arguing with myself about needing a backup, and bought my second today. I don't think I can do a NBD post, I have too much to say. I'll post some pics here later.
Local guy on FB marketplace just posted a Kramer era and a Woodstock. I wish I had a lot of spare money laying around.
My Euro RST with fresh Sadowsky Blue Label Stainless Steel strings. Spector and Sadowsky, 2 of my favourite brands! 
Here we go, I've got quite a pair.
I saw those. The Woodstock one is freaking gorgeous!
Is there much value in those instruments from a "working bass" perspective? Both my basses have the Legacy preamp and I don't have in person experience with the haz or it's clones, but are all Spectors that are equipped for the "Spector sound" fairly equal?
no idea, never played or owned a USA spector, but they sure are pretty. haven't seen quilt like that on any import models.
not my basses, not my pics, just showing off some full figured maple slabs!
When I decided to go have a look at the Spectors at the local shop, I did all sorts of reading and watching videos so I was prepared for the experience.
The purple CST was by far my favourite of the bunch (PJ, and great colour), but the store inventory showed only the black CST with gold hardware. When I arrived, there it was. Apparently it was sold already, but the buyer was in a dispute about who was going to pay shipping. The store has their own trucks and transfer system, but it takes weeks. The customer wanted free courier next day shipping, and that was the moment I walked in.
It still took me about 45 mins of playing and staring at it to fork over the cash, but yes it is beautiful. Most of the photos I've seen of this model show a heavy burl, but this one is an unusual tasteful burl with very lovely flame. It's hard to capture, but the flame under the purple on the horns is outstanding.
Congrats on your two new additions - Welcome to the sickness that is Spector G.A.S. - love that flame on the top! I also saw that you're a fellow Canadian, always nice to see more Spectors up here in the Great White North!
