Great sounclips Lima!
You can totally hear the differences, yet i loved the sound of each one of these spectors :D

Lima... the sounds clips.... Very nice! Thank you for making the effort to share!

I can hear the differences in each bass. The Rebop DOES sound deeper and heavier than the others.... I kinda like it.
Your NS-2JA-R sounds a lot like my NS-2J, even with different hardware and electronics, btw. I guess that depends on my settings as well but, that just goes to show the wide tonal range of a SPECTOR bass, no? :D
And ... I could swear you're playing my NS-2A, though.... :ninja: :D


Thanks guys,

Regarding the ReBop. I just put Dr-Hi-Beams which are naturally very bright. (notice the treble is at 0%)
When connected to an amp the ReBop is either
Too thin Or it distorts the speaker when I boost the bass. (Tonepump doesn’t have the output trim)

But through the PC it came across as a really clear heavy bottom.
Also of the 5, the ReBop, for me, has the fastest neck.

Regarding the sound of the NS2JAR compared to your NS2J I guess that proves that just the style of pickup and placement on the body has a lot to do with the final tone produced.

Over the next week I am going to do some more clips doing a comparison with adjusting the P/U’s and Tone controls on each. Wait to you hear the range on the NS-2A, 18V EMG BTS circuit.

What in gods name happened, chemical spill?
Heat gun. In a last ditch effort to save this beauty I am hoping to completely remove the finish, replace the truss rod and possibly add a fretless fingerboard and wrap it all up in a nice, natural oil finish. It's a LOOONG way between here and there right now though. The finish removal is a slow and interesting process. No idea whatsoever if it can get there but I have nothing more to lose. I had already given it up for dead.

PS: my apologies to Tracebass for taking the detour. I know he was looking forward to this project himself but I just couldn't give up just yet.
