Truly inspiring story by LimaGuy on all things Spector site!

Celinder_32 absolutely STOLE that NS-2 from GC! Holy &^#%$%!!!! They listed it as a Euro?

I'm going to replace the PUPs on my NS-2a.

EMG PJHZ Set Passive Three Pickup Set for Bass, Black | eBay

Will these work?

Also, G.A.S. attack!

I think it may be labelled incorrectly though. With two J PUPs, is this still an NS-4H2?

We're getting there. :D :hyper:
She's out of surgery...Out of traction, just have some minor cosmetics to do... staining where I got into the finish a tad ... oops, and re-applying the stock matte finish.
She looks pretty good as is is... I think I'm off center about a 1/16 of an inch.... Mind you this was all done by hand except rough cutting the spine with a table saw. :eyebrow:
Those are the original PUP ear holes, btw....:cool:

Excellent Job!
Which guitars did you use (or what guitar)?
Really professional sounding. Clean bass. Great all the way around.

Many thanks JPS! I appreciate the compliments.

I have a Schecter C1 Blackjack with EMG 81/85 pickups that i used for all the guitar tracks. I just ran it straight into my Axe Fx Ultra and into Cubase 6. I split the bass (Euro 4LX35) into two tracks and one through the Axefx (Ampeg>4X10 cab) and one into Ampeg SVX.

PeleDog it was listed as a Euro. I remember back in 99 or 00? when Specter switched to MoP inlays I know a few people were upset by it ,but in this case it worked out ok for me:D But to the average person who is not a spector fan the Euro and Kramer NS2 look very similar. The guitar manager at GC probably just glanced at it and wrote it up as a Euro. If this bass had been a Euro i would have bought it anyway. Most of the Euros i have played have played just as well as my NS2. At 699 If it had been a Euro i would have eventually bought a Haz Lab from the Spector site and would still have been happy!

Looks more like an NS-2J-AR ... it has the deep pocket bolt on neck. you can tell by the difference in the finish between the neck and the pup that it is not a neckthru.
The NS-4HS had soapbar pups....
If it was a neck-thru it would be a NS-2JJ.

Question about the NS-95, is the bridge and tuners more like the NS-2A or the Legend? If you have a chance give me some comments on it overall.

There is one for sale on ebay I was looking at, same color as yours and from MI, is it you?
Still waiting on my Warwick to sell but I am still lookin in the meantime. Someone :help: my Spector GAS

The tuners & bridge are almost identical to the NS-2A.
The NS-95 has EMG-HZ pups, very powerful, very deep, growly mids, very low neck action, solid maple wings, a very very well built bass!
I love how I can dial-in so many different tones! It's a little heavier than my NS-2A and Legend 4. No that's not mine on Mi. eBay...wouldn't sell mine!:rollno:The twin to mine is still for sale on eBay except in black, $649.00 new, never played or owned. It's not a
SSD though. How much is the one in Mi.? I'll include pics of bridges and tuners from NS-2A & NS-95. I'm GASing for a USA Spector right now.:help: Coda 4 or 5 :bassist: or Forte 4 or 5.

Thanks for the photos of the tuners and bridge.

hey phat , i believe it to be a ns2a artist edition that had actual crown inlays . looks like inlay filler around the inlays to me . but in any respect , its way over priced . the last artist ns2a i seen sell went for 650 i believe . there was one on here last year i think . seen several on ebay over the years . pj rubal told me one time only a handful of these were made . ive seen another white one , a few black ones , a light purple one , and a sunburst one .
