For Sale Spector NS2a!

Where in Tennessee and any trades??

 

Mine

 

dang and Just when I thought i found a good hot pink refinish candidate, I'm too late

 

The 15yo in me has always kicked himself for getting a white BC Rich Warlock instead of one of these.

It's been 27 years, but I finally got one.

 

Is the ns2a still available ?

 

It's in a box on it's way to me.
I'm going to crown/refret it, toss in some EMGs, figure out what's up with the preamp, and pretend I'm still 15 trying to hit punky goth broads at Gilman St.

 

Haha,LMAO,good luck with both,remember
PUT SOME BASS IN THEIR FACE,AND KEEP ON THUMPIN

 

Hello. Great bass! Is the bass still available? If not, could you please update the post. Thanks, JP.

 

So much bass for the $, way to scoop it up! Congrats

 

It's sitting in my home office waiting for me to take another run at fixing the preamp.
P volume pot is short instead of a long shaft, and J cuts out.
There was a schematic that shows the J pickup points are reversed compared to P and jack, I haven't gotten further than slapping a set of EMGs in it and finding them actually getting power without adding a hot leg.

Have to figure out the hum.

This will be a learning experience.

 

Even if that pre is shot you got it cheap enough to put in any number of replacements. Keep us posted!

 

Found this on TB, don't know if it helps

Are you sure the EMGs are getting juice? That doesn't make sense without a hot leg. I wonder if they are essentially running passive without the internal active boosting (I don't know if that is possible or not)

 

Thanks, that's a variation of another wiring diagram.
If you want to spin your head check Google images for K haz preamps and you'll see a lot of different interpretations.
Left my multimeter at my buddy's house, but they aren't dead.

I'm leaning toward trying out a set of GZRs since I liked swapping out ceramic for Alnico in my Warwick $$.

I've wanted one of these since I bought a white Warlock around 1988/89.
I literally played one new and the realization I made the wrong choice has haunted me off and on since middle school.
I played used 70's Stingrays, back when they were just used, and after I owned them I was over it. This Spector I just fondle a bunch.

I've owned 68 Camaros, Chevelles, now I'm scratching my NS-2A itch.

I'm older, I can buy a new Spector, but I'm stuck on the one I didn't choose.
Luckily, basses don't age like old girlfriends (shudder).
