    Yesterday, I got my third Spector Forte. After #168 (Vintage Tint Ash) and #194 (Trans Satin Black), now #198 (Gloss Black). It comes with EMG PJ pickups and the Haz 9V preamp. It pretty much is a no-frills NS-2. Only differences: no inlays and alder instead of maple wings. Great looks and sounds for the early AIC and Queensrÿche vibes 😎

    Just watched this video on YT. Came across a mysterious Spector. Is it a new model, a custom model or a heavily modded regular model? Check out the video (3:32-3:50).

    Looks like the low end lobster is not impressed by the Metro Express either. 2 claws out of 5.

    I also came across this one. Another killer looking finish. It is a signature Euro LX for a bassist and lead singer in a Japanese all-girl band. Wish Spector would offer it here too. 😍

    Well, what can I say? Nope, nope, nope 😉

    Great, hope the person you saw looking at it buys it so I don't have to 😉

    Spector fans! Saw this on BD's website. What a great looking bass. One of the best I have seen. Can someone please buy it? I am getting very tempted but I really should not even look at any new basses. So, please help me 😎

    Fortunately I don't consider myself a bedroom payer but a living room player, so I should be ok with having more than one 😉 In total, I need 11 (of course): I need one for grunge rock, one for classic rock, one for punk rock, one for prog rock, one for prog metal, one for classic heavy metal, one for nu-metal, one for doom metal, one for funk, one for disco and also one for Motown. Well, that's at least what I've told my wife 😎

    I know that feeling 🤪

    Congrats. Great basses. I recently got a CLF L2K CAR and it is an amazing bass. I have it always in series mode and adjust the other two toggle switches for different genres (e.g., back pickup and active boost for funk, both pickups and active for prog and front pickup and passive for classic rock). So much versatility. I also love the look of your black SB-2. I really hope that G&L will re-release both the SB-1 and 2 for their 40th anniversary next year with the old headstock and with black hardware. They re-released the L1k and L2K with the old headstock and the old control plate and toggle switches, so let's hope the old SB-1 and 2 come back too, maybe as part of the CLF line.

    Man, I ❤️ the "Dood", I mean the bass 😉

    @cetera, can it be that you are a tiny bit biased here? 😉

    Great looking bass with the thinner neck, which I prefer over the normal Euro necks. Very tempting indeed. GLWTS 👍

    Agree and Jerry was not in great shape either as he mentions in this interview with Lars Ulrich:

    On April 10th, 1996, AIC performed at the Brooklyn Academy of Music's Majestic Theater in NYC for MTV Unplugged. I know some people will disagree and point to Nirvana's, Pearl Jam's or Stone Temple Pilots' appearances (or definitely maybe Oasis?), but for me this is most legendary performance. Enjoy 😍

    Wow, £700 off for a 6months old bass in showroom mint condition and extra pickguards? Sounds like a fantastic bargain. Very tempting. Must resist 😎 GLWTS 👍

    Sad but true

    I cannot believe this cool bass still hasn't been snatched up. Made in SoCal, in great condition, at a fair price, and with the tone control that some people miss on the SB-2. The jazz nut width is the only thing keeping me from buying this amazing bass myself. GLWTS 👍
  20. Eldon Tyrell
    Can someone please, please buy this bass? I cannot justify buying yet another Spector but I am getting tempted 😉 BTW, here is the man himself telling you all you need to know about this great bass. Check it out! GLWTS 👍
  21. Eldon Tyrell
    Yes, a great bass and a great collector's item too! PJ Rubal says a bit more about the background of the 77 here: PJ Rubal's Vintage Spector Collection

    Well, maybe they got the date wrong. They would not be the first: VW 'sorry' for early April Fool's Day Voltswagen PR stunt | Business News | Sky News

    Today, I received a nice Fender Boxer PJ from Dan. The whole transaction was very smooth and super fast. I was especially impressed by how Dan packed the bass in not one but two boxes (!) using lots of bubble wrap and other packing material. Great stuff. Thanks again, Dan 👍
