Occasionally I'll think "wow talkbass really needs TWO like buttons on certain posts".

This is one of those posts. That is simply stunning.

Speaking of the Hang - if anyone wants to caravan from Southern California that could be a good time. I'm not keen on the idea of flying with my bass(es) to be honest.

When is the 2015 hang?

I spoke with PJ at length about this when I ordered my Forte 4, he told me that the USA basses cannot be made with the exact same neck profile as the Kramer era basses because of the the graphite reinforced neck that the older Kramer basses didn't have. There is a "thin neck spec" available on USA builds but it's not exactly the same as the Kramer era basses.

After having the Ian Hill. ...
I much prefer the neck on my 86 Brooklyn. What's the difference in specs from 86 Brooklyn to 86 Kramer NS2 necks?

Glad you got something new!!!! The ceiling fan graphic is really unique too!!! (Sorry, couldn't resist)!

my favourite part of the graphic is the hand-holding-camera

So far what I've seen on this looks great! but I think I'm missing the story.... what bass is this and where did it come from? I was so jet lagged last week that I likely missed it or spaced.

Ns2a from ebay, likely refinished black over red, with a us 9v haz stock from 1985 according to the seller. Likely a cystom job for a pro.

BTW, I\m going to replace OBP2 with Tone Capsule in my Fortess this weekend, just wanted to ask you when replacing preamp in yours if you had to buy additional bypass switch or you used the stock push-pull knob for it?

I'll wait until it arrives and I can post photos/sound clips, but I can assure you it'll be the most lethal Spector I've ever owned, both sonically and aesthetically

That sucks for someone to do that just to raise market value on something! If thats what is happening?!

...but the seller anyway has to pay an awful amount of eBay-fees on that $7500!

Any word on your Euro yet ?

All PJ can get from them is 'soon'...so no, not a clue.

The Forte will make the endless waiting much easier though

Well that sucks that even he can't get a definitive answer out of them.I am hoping to have mine in March Or April.Mine was a regular Euro (kind of) and not a p so i am hoping there are no huge delays.

Here are the Kramer Neck Profile measurements (front to back, center of fret) that Limaguy posted a while back:

NS-2 Kramer #1757

1st Fret 0.80
3rd Fret 0.83
5th Fret 0.85
7th Fret 0.88
9th Fret 0.90
12th Fret 0.93

Anyone have the corresponding Brooklyn era measurements?
