I bet you could talk LimaGuy into selling his NS-2JAR to fund another USA SPECTOR...:eyebrow: :D

NS2a with neon strings.

Like regular strings but better. Because they're neon!

That looks so cool but too bad I can't get coated strings in flats. :(

If you sell your Modulus and Fender than you can be a "Pure" blood or keep them and be a Muggle....(harry potter refrence)
I once wanted to try different stuff, so I bought Fenders, Modulus, Rickenbacker, Sadowsky, BCRich, Ibanez, Musicman, Schecter, Tobias and others I cant remember now...but once you have tasted the NT Spector curved body the rest are obsolete.

I would sell the Modulus today and put it towards another spector. The P bass will be sticking around for a while.

Well guys, I've decided to resign my number. Why? Because I do not currently own a Spector and do not plan to for a while. As much as I love the look and feel of Spectors I'm just not a fan of that EMG tone. I've been playing a EBMM SR5 HH and it has become "The" bass for me right now. With an upcoming move and graduating with my master's degree, I can't afford to buy a Spector and then change out the pickups. Even though I'm resigning my number, I will still visit the thread. I've made some pretty cool friends here.

Keep rocking guys! :bassist:

Cool! I'm still waiting on some new designs to hit the Spector store, maybe I'll grab a new strap when they do, too. Does anyone know if the Spector straps have some king of strap lock system on them, or will I need to buy another pair of strap locks?

Still waiting for pics on that Green Euro LX5 when it comes in :hyper:

Peledog! I hope you're okay and in less pain!?!?

I survived, lol. In the ER for about 5 hours. They gave me a strainer, so...umm...more fun to come I guess. :hmm:

Awe dude, that sucks! I had one about 13 years ago. Best of luck to you!
Click to expand...

Thanks man! Feeling better. Yeah, the last one I had was in 1997.

grendle said:
My wife gets those, man I feel for ya. She had a 13 mm last time. A stent & 4 lithotripsy's later.....
Click to expand...

:eek: Mine was 5mm. I read that the pain isn't from the stone trying to move through the ureter, but rather the weight of the urine, and the pressure on that small point where the stone is that's what causes the pain.

Versatek6 said:
You have my utmost sympathy - been there twice, and just waiting for the next stone to drop! Actually my left one is probably half full of gravel. :bawl:

For a little while, morphine can be your dearest friend.

If you have to go in for a "procedure," let me know and I'll clue you in on what to expect.

Best,
V6

Thank you sir. They send me home a few hours later with a prescription for percocet. Haven't used it. Looking at home remedies like olive oil/lemon juice/apple cider vinegar with water to push and dissolve the stone.

I go back for a check up next week.

So...

Monday - I'll be talking to Ed at Bass Central - Forte time!

"no resign for you!" In my best "soup nazi" voice from The Seinfield show. :D once a SPECTOR club member always a member! Hang in there bro! We still like you! You're cool with us!:cool:
There's a lot of SPECTOR basses without EMG pups. Aguilar pups are awesome!
