OK Folks, just got a Spector Bird over the weekend. Sure seems like a cool player. Kinda thinking of replacing PUPs with Active EMGx series. Should be a nice player. And since my Gibby is white, maybe the Spector Bird being gloss black, would be cool.

Needs a set of Optima 24 KT Gold Strings......... But she is the bomb.
Great Bird!
I use Optima Golds on my Anniversary Bird and they look and sound great plus they last a long long time. I think I'm on year 3 or 4 and they're still going strong.
Before changing the pups you might want to drop a Haz clone in it, really is an outstanding preamp.

More money than I want to spend on a bass right now, but these NS-2X woodstocks have me drooling...

That Blue Gloss is interesting...I like the inlays too. Really cool. But I won’t be looking to put 5k toward a PJ anytime soon. Unless I have a long lost relative somewhere who passes away and leaves me with an inheritance.
 
Is that the voice of Hogan or Klink?

General Burkhalter: Klink, ve are zending you to ze Russian Front!

Klink: (in soothing voice) General Burkhalter, let me assure you.........



Priceless :laugh:
 
Friday night was a cool TV night when we were little.

I know, let's make a comedy about a German prison camp during WWII - That must have been some kind of Network meeting!
 
Smoke filled room with plenty of bourbon, vodka and gin. Around midnight they convinced themselves they had a hit in the making. Turns out they kinda did. Different times. Different country.

Probably the same scenario for the Pontiac Aztek except drugs.

The show history is fascinating. Several of the main characters were Holocaust survivors or ex-POWs. Jewish actors agreed to portray Nazis so long as the studio guaranteed the script would never show the Nazis in a favorable light. At all.

Klemperer was a greatly acclaimed actor in Europe at one time...

My brother and I had these huge bayonets; must have been 24 inches or more. We had sword fights with them. How did we survive our childhood? Wonder what happened to them. I’ll look for them if I ever get to go to my parent’s house again. And yeah, I have no idea how many vintage firearms are in my Dad’s attic. There are way too many.

I don’t own any guns.
