OK guys, I need some input / suggestions;
I am ready to make a deposit for a new Spector NS2 but the only thing that is holding me from going on with it is the fact that I can't make up my damn mind about the finish!!
*I own a Forte 4, so I want something a tad different*

I first wanted the Spalted Maple (in natural oil finish) like the one that was on sale at Bass Central, but then I realized that this particular one is has more burl in in than spalt (:confused:) and after seeing a lot of other basses tagged with "spalted maple" that look nowhere near that same one on BC, It kind of turned me off.

Then, this dude we all know as JP... posted a picture of his brand new NS2, so I thought hmmm....that with an oil finish (I just don;t like gloss...) and Pao Ferro fingerboard and black hardware, that would be SEXY!!

Then.....It was a few Buckeye Burl ones that REALLY turned me on. Now the issue at hand is that with exotic woods, the finishes and final "wood pattern" will differ quite a lot.

So....opinions? Patrick, would it be possible to get the finish of your NS2 in natural oil, or would it look too much like my Forte 4? And also, would they be able to find a spalted maple wood that has a ton of pattern in it like the one shown on Bass Centrals site?

I am so torn.........;)

No pictures yet......I did however just swap the preamp on my NS-2000/4 and the pickups to EMG 35DCs. This is a direct clip with no compression or eq on the bass. I'm really happy with the tone of it! I used it at church this last weekend through a Nemesis 4X10 combo (our building was destroyed during a hurricane, so we meet at a huge movie theater. We play really LOUD as well) and it sounded huge and awesome!!!!!!

Hope you guys like the clip. I'll try to get another clip of it through my Axe Fx and Sansamp soon. Again this is just the direct tone straight into Cubase.

That looks like a Carlton Armstrong bass :) The inlay on the 12th fret is a dead giveaway and that thing is beautiful.
