I've been skimming through these threads for a while and I was wondering if anyone has the USA NS-5H2-EX that they show on the website, it is probably the most beautiful bass I have ever seen.

This one:

OK. Excellent Feedback! This is why I love you guys.
Taking into the most common suggestions... how does this shirt look?

Front is ok I guess. Would like the logo just a little larger. Back is not so much imho. The white logo over the other looks odd. Just does not go together. Either one by itself, preferably the colored one would be much better methinks. Good thoughts but the graphics with two themes, two completely different styles are too "busy".

I've developed some T-Shirt ideas and am trying to decide if I just want to have a couple made for myself or if I want to talk to Stuart and PJ about including them in the SPECTOR Store.

What do you guys think? Would you wear something like this if it was made available?

I like the back but the front is too busy...it's like having a billboard strapped on ya.

I really like the bigger logo on the front. But this works for me too.

Probably a bit out of the norm, but what about the Spector logo on both sleeves, like a sports jersey? Then on the back, you could have a number, like NS-2, lol!

Well look what showed up today at my house:

So far, I only have the picture given to me from Guitar Center since I can't seem to get a good picture of it but I have to say, it's in great shape. The sales guy said there were a bunch of marks on the back but it must be the natural finish because you really have to look close to see any kind of nick on this thing. I can't believe how light it is compared to my Euro 5LX too.

I love the feel of the neck but it does need a bit of work. Even though they told me it had an Aguilar OBP-1 in it, it looks like there is an older non-trim pot Tone Pump in it so I am going to probably get a newer one since they are so cheap. Also, the B string doesn't seem as "thunderous" as the one on my Euro 5LX but that could be due to bad or dead strings. I have a set of DR Lo Riders that will get installed so I will see what I think after I install those. Also, the pots seem to crackle a bit when turning them so I am not sure if they need to be cleaned or if it is something else.

These things are fairly minor though and for the price I paid for it, I am not complaining. It definitely has a different sound than the Euro 5 and that is not a bad thing at all. I will be playing around with it all night so once I mess with it more, I can definitely have a better feel for it.

Congrats John! If it had MOPS it'd look like my former 5DLX. Which I noticed with mine, if you rest your thumb on the neck pup you'll eventually show a wear thru the finish on the body front. And I didn't have mine quite a year.

I like the p/j scoop too. After fiddling with my bass for a bit I find there's a sweet spot on the action that helps bring out the natural growl. Too hi and you lose some. I may be on the prowl for a black ns2a soon. I kinda miss the p/j tones. I think emg flips the pickup location on their p and moves it forward a space on their j so im interested to hear them together. Lol I'm gonna need a second job to support my spector habit.

+100% on the second job to support!

Yeah, I love the See thru black finish on it. I like the white strings because they stand out so well and get people's attention when I play. Though I'm still decided whether I'll get another set of white or if I want a darker color and go for that stealthy look. What do you guys think?
Click to expand...

Go with RED! :hyper: It'd really pop that black contrast!

I agree with Limaguy about making the front the back and the back the front. And I think I would also make the web address smaller on what will be the front. I like the big logo in the center of the chest. I think the small logo on the upper left chest looks like something for SPECTOR employees to wear at NAMM. Then I would buy it.
