Spector Club - Part 10

[iceboxbass]

ReBops are deep set, but they are bolt-ons.
A "set neck" is glued into place.

NS-95 is a slightly different body shape. Not a true NS like the ReBop.

Mine are 1 year+ old. I just can't imagine a case that fits the neck through 6's properly being a good fit for the neck through 4's, 5's and all bolt-ons.

Correct! Still after only 2 years with Spectors I'm trying to get all the terminology straight. Schooled again! :embarrassed:

Woohoo! You know it bro!!!
I'm very glad to hear you have a good bill of health! I'm a strong advocate for guitar therapy.

[Rockin Mike]

I don't hate it. I just prefer my basses to look a little less fancy. The gloss finish doesn't help (the looks. I prefer natural oil).

Got pix of your Poplar Burl? It's got to be better than mine!

Weird. Never had this problem on any Spectors I've owned when I've had to use a .130 in a pinch (D'Addario XL's, prefer .125 or .120 normally).

But I have run into this once or twice over the years with other bridges. Simply take a regular (not needle nosed) pliers and squeeze the string at the point it sits in the bridge slot. It should flatten it somewhat enough for you to fit it in. It's a much easier solution than filing your bridge.

LOL. I remembered that as "take needle nose pliers..."

Good thing I haven't been able to flatten them at all.

Work wonders, thanks! Saved me a lot of time, money, and damage.

So, it took me 6 hours to restring.. >.>;;

Here ya' go:

Is that baby for sale?

 

[PhatBasstard]

Is that baby for sale?

I've toyed with the idea, if only to replace it with a non-gloss finished version. She plays so well it would be tough to part with her though.

 

[jarrhead]

Damn. I have a 5 string birdseye poplar.. gloss finished. Haha.

 

[iceboxbass]

Here ya' go:

Man Phat! That's still the best looking burl poplar I've seen to date!

 

[FunkySpoo]

Here ya' go:

WOW. Seriously beautiful bass.

See the B string on this one is sticking out beyond the yoke? That's how all the non taper B strings I tried on mine were. So I went to taper wounds. As luck would have it though my favorite string comes in a taper.
