Spector Club

[Spector_Ray]

Cetera...how does that Fernandes copy sound compared to a Spector? There was one on ebay a few months ago and I almost jumped on it, but it was too beat up for the price they were wanting.

 

[Roadman]

Cetera, I have three questions for you.

1. Where do you live?
2. When are you least likely to be home?
3. Do you have a big dog?

 

[GreaserMatt]

I, of course, want one of the original spector, like the one that Flea used to play. Were those made by Kramer? Matt

Kramer Spector NS2 USA 1987 in Black:

Wow, I want this bass. Not just one like it, this exact bass. I 87 is the year i was born so that would be awesome.

Most of us on this thread are wondering the same thing!



But seriously, great arsenal of instruments, cetera. Wow. I'm dead impressed.

NS = Ned Steinberg, correct??

Cetera,

Thanks for the pics!! Spectors are so pretty!!

I love the red one with the two J pickups, very nice.

Yep, Ned Steinberger...

You're welcome, I'm a very proud Daddy to all my Spectors

That red one is quite an anomaly. As far as I'm aware they made VERY few of these NS2Js in the Czech factory up until the recent NS2JACR reissues . In fact I can honestly see I've only heard of/seen about two others....

Sadly I no longer have it as I sold it to finance other purchases but twas a lovely bass!

Ray,

Completely different as it's passive but I'm gonna dump some EMGs in her soon and rev her up! I'm sure she'll be a lot more Spector-like then!

Btw, do I get a Spector Club number?!?

Haha!

Actually I have a secure storage unit elsewhere where I store them (and most of my other basses) as there's no way I'd have them all under my roof at home....

Cheers for all the kind comments everyone. I enjoy flying the 'Spector' flag!

I am looking at the Legent Custom 5...

Just a few quick questions;

1) Has it got a 35" scale
2) Can it come in a Jazz Pup and a Soapbar pup?
3) Where could i find these things??
4) How much? and
5) Does it come with a gig Bag or a Case?

I look forward to joining the club in the near future!

Cheers guys

That NS2J is really cool! I'd love to have one of those as it'd be a near twin to my NS2A. Todd Cooke has an American Kramer with 2 J's. I guess they only made 12 of them! And I think Bass Central has a SSD with 2 J's, but it's $2800. I'd have jumped on it, but it has the natural finish, and although cool, if I'm paying that kind of money, I'm getting exactly what I want.

Of course you do! I'm not at my home computer right now, but message me and I'll hook you up.

Edit: Got you down at #70!

I totally agree. I'm a great fan of bolt on JJ pickups equipped Spectors. And I totally in love with my Spector NS-2J, the prototype showed in early page of this thread...

1) Yes.
2) I fairly sure that they only come in passive EMGs (soapbars)
3)I got my Legend 6 online. It came still in it's factory box with near perfect setup (slight adjustment for personal preference may be needed.)
4)I bought my 6er for $550 US.
5) Mine did not.

Legends are great basses. I can't say enough about them.

Check out the NS2JA-CR. It is a Ltd Edition reissue of the classic NS2J from 1983 with Badass bridge! They've just been released & I love mine (see my final pic in my main post).

I believe Bass Central have them & they will be a LOT cheaper than $2800

Thanking you!

My legend 5 (someone quoted my post on the top of page 14 or 15) has the Jazz and Soapboar...EMG-HZ pickups. It actually has the features of both the Legend Classic and legend Custom. Someone said it was the original legend model, but I couldn't find any info on the original Legend 5 basses with my feeble google skills.

I have actually seen a few on ebay with j and soapbar setup.

 

[SpectorDetector]

What a coincidence!! Look what followed me home today. I was going to ask about just exactly what I had, but it looks like you guys have been talking about it already!

Here are some pics, I got it for almost nothing and it is in great shape except for one major gouge on the top by the B side of the bridge. It shows up in the 2nd pic.

I have a nice little collection started for very little $$

What is the difference in sound/tone with the bolt on vs. the neck thru with the double J pickups?

I've only had neck thru Spectors and am not real hot on the colors of the reissues, otherwise I'd have jumped on the reissues.

And, for the NS2A owners: has anyone kept their "Spector" pickups or does pretty much everyone ditch them and put EMG's in? I've been fairly happy with the "Spector" pickups recording demos and such, but in a live setting I've never gotten the right punch.
