That is a BEAUTY!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOW!

Mighty fine isntrument you have there
In all seriousness, that thing has tone for days and the playability is phenomenal... if only it had 1 more string 
@Basstovsky...AWESOME stable man!!! Beautiful color assortment! Love the fretless up front! What strings are those? Lovely! Love the visual of all wood fretboard! Also love the way you profiled them in a line! Took photo yourself? Well done! But do they all get playtime???

Those basses belong to bobunit.
I just purchased this beauty from Beaver Felton at Bass Central. I've been eyeing it for some time.
I confirmed with PJ... this is the ONLY gloss black NS-2 to come out of the Saugerties shop in the past 10 years.
Gloss black is a very rare color anymore for SPECTORS (since the Kramer days when it was one of the most common colors).
Once I get it I'll post some proper photos.
Other than the special-order gloss black paintjob... it's a stock NS-2. USA 9v Circuit (Haz), Pau Ferro fingerboard, Abalone inlay and solid AAAA Maple wings.
This will be my main player. I also ordered a Genz-Benz Shuttle 6.0 (600W) amp/cab combo. The guys at BC say that the Genz-Benz amps really bring out the growl.
I've heard that they tend to be a little "brighter" than Ampegs and GK amps. Which would make sense... the growl is in the upper-mid area... Or at least that's the EQ area I have to augment to get the growl out of my NS-4. Which honestly the 18v circuit isn't as "growly" as the 9v.
I'm totally stoked. My BEM custom NS-2 should be ready by the end of the month.
Man are the neighbors gonna hate me this summer.

Congrats JPS. That's a killer bass.
FWIW, the little GK MB200 sounds killer with an NS-2.
Let's post current photos of our SPECTORS shall we...

He's missing a 5 string! Oops. Better add another to the family.
LOL.
Don't play 5-string.
That's what the 35" scale Euro4LX-TW in BEAD is for.
I do have an Alex Webster bass on order. But only because I designed the paint job. I'm going to get Alex to autograph it for me and I'm going to frame it for my office. So that won't really count.

Holy moley JPS!!! Your seriously GASing this year! :nono: I know it's tough being around and handling all the Spector candy without buying some to take home! :rollin:
That'll make 8 in your stable then?
Congrats on your new purchase JPS!
Drop Dead Gorgeous.
I fell in love with the classy solid-color Spectors of the 80s.
Here's another that really shows the wood nicely.

Yeah, can't thank you enough for selling me it!
I'm glad it has only 4, otherwise I'd be playing a Fender!- Status
