nah. I learned Selkies but I got into them a few months ago when I heard colors.
Yes, but nothing huge.
Replaced the HZ pickup with an SGD ND-3, went to flat strings and added a Hipshot Drop-D tuner.
Installation of the pickup was literally a five-minute job since SGD uses the same quick-connect fittings as EMG.
It has a broader sound now. With the piezo bridge, the tonal palate is very wide, from extremely bright to very deep. Fits very well with acoustic instruments. Not a chameleon, by any means, but more usable in more different settings for me.

It's not a finished product by any means, I was just screwing around. I like the general idea of it though. It reminds me of a...field with strawberries.
EDIT: 5 minutes of blank audio at the end, ignore.

I've been listening to them for about 3 weeks lol, I'm not used to playing such hard songs + I don't have a 5 string or songbook =p. I've gotten about 90 seconds on Alaska down, Foam born A and Need for Repetition done. They're so fun to play
You sure you've got Foam Born A? There's not a single correct tab on the internet. I can send you a Guitar Pro 5 file of what I have transcribed up to halfway through ants of the sky, just PM me your email.
I didn't know that about the SGD's. I'm pretty happy with the tone of my SpectorCore Fretless 5 with the HZ in it, but am curious as to other options. If it is that quick a job and easily reversible, I might have to give it a go. I get a wide range of tones now by varying the level of the piezo relative to the magnetic pickup and by adjusting the tone of the piezo.
I used the one on ultimateguitar, and it sounds mostly correct. If you want you can pm me the "correct tab".
That is so beautiful. I think I am going to cry.
Who do I need to see about getting a club membership?
Those of you that still want a number, search "Spector Ray" in our member's list and PM him. Ask him if he's ever coming back.

He's the one I sent the PM to back in December. A few months ago he posted a message on here about the list almost being updated....that's the last thing that I've heard.
I'll see if I can attach a file, if not you're going to have to PM me your email
Bassmanc's family picture needs to stop being reposted.

I must have seen it a dozen times.

There are two options:
1) Post a pic of your Spector and put "Spector Club" in your sig (or something to that effect)
2) Someone takes initiative and starts handing out numbers. If Ray comes back then he can resume his duties of handing out numbers to those who desire them.
Go check the first post of Spector Club Pt. 3 (Insert Clever Title Here). I learned to just let it go.

Obviously, there are some blanks. Is this your number? Step forward and be counted.

Just PM me with the date of your post so we can get ya in line. Spector Ray, if you are reading this, you are more than welcome to take the ball and run with it. Just trying to get things going here.
