I sold my NS2A as I want 2 of the exact same basses (as a true backup).
Nice exactly, what is your current Spector?(although I got to admit I like my tone pump but I wouldn't mind a HAZ lab in another Spector to have the versatillity)
Despite all of the negative press, I like the Tone Pump in my US Bolt-on NS-JH5. I usually leave both boosts on about 1/3 and go from there. I have a coil tap on the bridge pickup (EMG CTSW-40) that I use to throw it into overdrive!

Does Spector sell the Tone Pump preamp separately? I have an older NS-2000/5 neck through that I've already put EMG 40DC's into, and it came stock with the EMG BTS pre, but It's just not the same as the Tone Pump in the Euro5LX I used to have.
I emailed PJ Rubal at Spector today to ask about buying a TonePump, and wound up ordering the stock 18V Spector preamp for an american NS-5XL. I managed to snag one of the few he sells separately. It's a 3 knob setup (tone controls are stacked) so I'm going to need something to cover up the 4th hole, but that shouldn't be a problem. He says he sold one of these to someone for use in a Euro5LX but I will be the first to use it in an NS2000/5.....this should be interesting
