HOLY MOLIES!!! That paint job really pops!!! Have a pic with all hardware installed?
Green still isn't my color, though as gorgeous as those are.

Hey Thanks! Very,very nicely done! It'd been a hard decision to choose what color bridge to go with...did you flip back and forth on the bridge color?

Yeah... done by Pat Wilkins out here in my neck of the woods (Los Angeles). For many, many years Stuart sent all gloss finished USA SPECTORs out here to Pat Wilkins for the finishes.

Spector Specific...
I have a set of 5 gold Schallers of a Euro 5... they are too small for my NS-2J (Gotoh GB7E)... wanted gold ones to do a two-tone...
I didn't know/think and I didn't ask if they were compatible..... oops
Now I gotta go look for gold Gotohs....

Solved the problem...
I have plastic sleeves that fit perfectly snug over the Schaller nuts and fit the holes in the headstock almost as well..

Hmmmm....very interesting! Does it work?

 

[Tracebassplayer]

Not sure... paint still drying on headstock.... not sure what to do about the Spector logo inlay yet.....

 

[Tracebassplayer]

Did a mock up on one tuner... fits like a glove..

Awesome! Took pics?

 

[Tracebassplayer]

No. The headstock only has the primer on it. I do have a lead on gold Gotohs of the correct size, just in case...

Repost from a few pages back (my question was missed):

One of the push pull pots that comes attached to the tone pump in my Euro 5LX crapped out and will not pull anymore.

Where can I get a replacement? What brand/model does Spector use?

 

[Tracebassplayer]

what are the values? 250Kohm or 500Kohm DPDT?
Does it look like this one? .... or this one with the longer shaft?

 

[crimson_basser]

25K, long shaft, but it looks more like the on the left than the one on the right

 

[Tracebassplayer]

I would conatct Spector or try
