Spector Club - Part 14

[iceboxbass]

I can name a few reasons why warwick fans would love these basses... I bet even the guy who started that company loves them

+1! Good one Chris!!! Bazinga!!!

WooHoo!!! Just sold my NS-95 SSD! Two down, 1 more to go! YES!!!
Sold to one of our club members for a saweet deal. I'm smelling...a Forte 5 in the near future! My SPECTOR family is looking a little thin right now...my Legend 4 is feeling a lot lonely! Atleast kitty is seeing more action than she has in almost 2 years. AND she's not satisfying my NT needs...

Ice,
I also sold my NS-95 today.
A TB member from NJ, I did a local cash transaction today.
It was his first Spector, I kinda saw that look in his eye that he may be aleady thinking of getting another Spector down the line.

My dr black beauts have been great on my rex5 . But I noticed when I first giged them outside the felt a little sticky . But not now.

Must be the "buy a Spector day", I sold my Doig Wimbish signature this morning also. Cool guy, tb'er from New Zealand, always been a Spector fan, always wanted one, NEVER PLAYED ONE! I guess they just don't have them there.
He has had a couple of Warwicks...

I think it will be really cool when he sees that Euro Dougie, he is going to be blown away, it really is a beautiful bass, then he will plug it in with that USA Hazlab preamp and I think we will have another convert for life. I will be letting him know about our little band of merry men her so he can let us know what he thinks...

 

[iceboxbass]

Chris...that is awesomely Fantastic!!!

Yeah not many spector's get over here to NZ cause warwick dominates the market. The only one I have played was a friends rebop 5, but I'm primarily a 4 stringer so wasn't really taken by it.. though I did love the body contour etc, just felt right, like stuart and ned had worked with the curves of the human body instead of agianst it.. but yeah like chris said, I'm new to the speccy world but have been a gasser fer ten years now.. so finally I'm going to get my hands on the real deal (sorry germany lol).. I'll let y'all know how she sounds/feels when it gets here.. now I just have to wait.. dammit lol

I did some looking around, rolled the bones, read the tea leaves, observed the entrails, and pulled the trigger on:

Link Removed

a Genz Benz Shuttle 6.0! It was a tight race between the GB 6 and a GK MB500 Fusion and, like it or not, it came down to Aux. Input. It was an ebay deal from Pro Audio Star, $15 below MSRP with a case and Speakon cable. The listing said the unit was brand new with full warranty, so I hope it's a proper deal.

Can't wait to hear what my Spector can do with the new amp. I'm running a GK 210 currently and may pick up another down the road, depending on the gigs we schedule. Any advice re: Spector & GB is appreciated (I also use a VT Deluxe).

I'll post rig pics when the new toy arrives. Now I just need to unload my Jazz 5-string.

No. Haven't seen it yet.
Just us old guys in general.

The older I get, the better I was.

Pro Audio Star are great! I got two cabs from them for waaaay below market price.

Brand new, warranty - free shipping.

TC Electronic RS210 for $379 shipped
and TC Electronic RS212 for $449 shipped.

My Spectors sound great through them and the RH450 amp.
