I like the fretless NS4 that I got but lately I have been playing the Coda P for some reason, its two or three weeks of NS2 then two or three weeks of NS4...now...two or three weeks of Coda! lol
Very cool, rock that Spector for us!

Had one these before and made it another one of those regretful moments in my life.
Some unbelievable basses here guys. I'm luvin' it!
Here's one of the rooms where I play my Spectors the most... Our rehearsal room.Getting a much needed cleaning.
Observations:
1. Is that your Trace head on the bottom shelf?
2. Speaking of which, that bottom shelf is bowing quite a bit. Heavy load on that thing. I'd hate to see that Trace head on the floor unexpectedly.
3. I was very happy with the lack of butt-crack in that photo, as there was definite potential there!

Watch out where the huskies go...
1. Yeah, that's the Trace Preamp. I'm keeping it as a fall back. I can always get a good sound from it matched with any power amp.Observations:

2. You can't see it but there's a brace behind the Ampeg speaker cabs. It's actually pretty sturdy. But yeah, won't be putting anything else on there.
3. That's Bob my drummer. He's not a butt crack kind of guy.
This is a ymmv statement, but when I used to try and play through SWR rigs at rehearsal studios, that was my exact experience as well. Super "clanky" sounding for lack of a better term. Lots of high end, no real booty.
That being said I wasn't very good with parametric EQs then. Now I'd probably try to cut around 6k+ to remove "sizzle" and boost somewhere in the 80-160 range and go from there.
Just snatched this 94' Spector NS4CRFM Plum stain off of the Bay.
Should have it late next week.
The seller said that it has a Czech copy of the HAZ Lab preamp in it.

Yes well I guess the bass is out of the box so to speak I have Omer's Forte 4 with the US HAZ on the way as well as a Forte 5 Helium from Jeff
! And Omer did sign the control cover inside for me and his CD also!!
Next week should be interesting to say the least! THANK YOU OMER AND SAM!!!!!!

This will be my next Spector, well, a Euro version anyway. I'd like black hardware though.
Let me know when you are ready! I have #12 of 30 right here. Although it has the chrome hardware too.
I contacted PJ at Spector today and inquired about a HAZ preamp for another Spector I have on the way. It currently has a TonePump in it.
I went ahead and ordered a HAZ preamp. Cost 500.00 plus 11.00 shipping.
He told me that they just had some come in, so it was good timing.
I sure hope I like the way it sounds.
Of course, if I dont, it won't be a problem getting my money back out of it.
Interested to know how the HAZ compares to the Aguilar OBP-3? I have an OBP-3 in my trans blue/black
NS4CRFM and I love the tone.

You had that one up for sale before didn't ya? Oh boy! More gas!!! I'm gonna start saving my pennies now!!!Let me know when you are ready! I have #12 of 30 right here. Although it has the chrome hardware too.
Yes I did. There was not very much interest so I pulled it from the classifieds. It will move someday! I will just never play it! It will stay pristine and a MM114 HAZ copy will go with it. Since I am gonna move my 4 existing euros eventually and just have 4 US models.
Well, as soon as I have funds available, I'll get in touch with you. Guess I should have asked you about it.
What year is it, and is it a LX model? The MM114 is the Mighty Mite HAZ clone correct?
I will have a 4 string Jazz/Jazz with Geezers(passive), and US 9v Spector built for me whenever I sell my Rex4 US 007! Not sure if it will be a Forte style or a full blown deal, but that would give me all the tonal options I could ask for with what I have already....which is a bunch!
