2) Callowhill MPB5 30”

3) EBMM Sterling, Nordstrand MM4.3

4) MIG Warwick Corvette Ash w/ wenge board (fretless conversation) Nordstrand blades, converted to passive

5) MIG Warwick Corvette Bubinga w/ ebony board. Nordstrand J’s

6) Schecter Diamond Series Stiletto 8-string

7) Squier Affinity P body, Moses J neck, Nordstrand pup, Spitfire tort

8) Docwood 3TB P body, Flea Jazz neck, Geezers, Spitfire tort

Got this beautiful Spector on reverb for a reasonable price considering the latest price increases landing at nearly 3K. Having a Euro 4 and 5 LX already, I always wanted a LT with the Barts and Darkglass preamp.
The bass is considerably lighter than the he LX series. The midrange wheel in the electronic compartment and the bass and treble cut&boost is basically a game changer. U can easily find ur perfect sweet spot. The tone is on the brighter side, so I ended up with the treble in the middle position and boosting the bass only. The Gotoh tuners are excellent and the overall quality is top notch. I can really recommend this instrument for everyone GASing for a Spector.

Edit: I bought all three Euros for the price of one new US Spector. Interesting price policy

Went into a local shop to get a cable, and came out with a JMJ Mustang.

I like that this is a bit different to my AmStd precision in almost every way -- short scale, smaller frets, different pickup, slightly lighter weight, wide-range tone pot, narrower bridge spacing, different sound.
Was never drawn to the road-worn thing, but this looks cool enough for me and it's kind of nice to not worry about scratching a perfect finish. Added a new pickguard and slinky rounds.
It's fun to play, it's stable and stays in tune, sounds great.

Great looking Mustang. Love the guard and '66 period lollipops.

Very nice - I always wanted a graphite neck and those Gotoh tuners are faves of mine.

Recently added an external battery box ... function must work with aesthetics! It's Firemist Gold Metallic - looks different in these pics... somewhere between.

I'm thinking about get the Red Spector. How do you like the 5 string? I mostly play metal.

 

[D_Bassman]

I'm trying to find out what type of bass this is, I thought it was a kramer but can't seem to find a picture to reference.

They are barky and aggressive, great for heavy stuff (IMHO).
