I'll crack 'er open again and have a look.

It's not a bad sounding bass by any means, I'm just curious to see what the big deal about the DCs are. I think it was JPS that told me they would definitely sound better, but a lot of people don't notice the difference. Curious to see how a BQC system would sound in it as well.

Okay, found the two dip switches. What sort of change would I notice from these? Would either give it a little more growl or some mids?

Below is the diagram of which frequencies are controlled by the switches control on the BT circuit.

I have my NS-2JAR set to 1 On, 2 Off and my NS-2A set to 1 Off , 2 On.

OK now I'm really torn...........They have a blem Forte, a trans blk gloss euro and I can order a Ian hill if I want one ( all 4 string p/j config) . All about the same price.

The Forte is cool , but I'm not big on the flat finish, I like the protection from the thicker gloss,and no Crowns which to me scream SPECTOR.

The trans blk euro is sweet ( flame) but has black hardware which I want gold ( I have all new gold hardware at home except for new Schallers, mine are older). A trans blk and solid blk Spector have been my dream bass for ever ( since before you could get trans blk)

The Ian hill is sweet has the black n gold, and I will wait for it (order through Bass Central). Damn this sucks......... Might have to take a trip and see if either of the ones in stock have the Magic......

Man, I can't believe I didn't notice this until now. Aaron once asked me to learn this song and come over. I was going to do a video cover then go record and play shows with him. Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to do a video and couldn't get to Toronto.

I've wanted to move there a few times and that would have been a damn good reason to move there. Aaron is talented as hell.

Wow. That's awesome. I don't suppose you'd know what would give the most growl? I think I read 2.1 khz would give me the sound I'm looking for.

Ok not much of a J player but the NS-4 with aggie jazz pups looks cool!

I actually like it a lot. It's got the comfort and feel of the USA NS-Bolts but those Aguilar pups are passive or active. So you can go completely passive on the tone circuit (or bypass it is a better description) and it has that old 1970's J sound... sort of noisy and gritty.

I love this bass actually. It's a Coda-4 in an NS-Body. :ninja:

Ooohh, I like the sound of that. Ever since I played Limaguy's NS-2JA-R, I have wanted a Spector with J pickups.

By the Way, that Spector logo with the blood is my new background on my Macbook. I hope you don't mind :)

Not at all. Email me and I'll send you a high resolution version.
Is your screen 1920x1080 or another size?
Give me the size and I'll send you a high-rez background made to fit it.

:-)

And I've gotten some T-Shirt requests with this logo.
