I had one of these and they are gorgeous.
Body just too small for my liking but sound wise was incredible and the neck was lush.
I owned number NB12345

It was a doug wimbish signature spec with the same white gloss finish.
The neck was incredible, only 40mm at the nut.

I had two spectors but the body is too small for my liking so moved them both on. No reflection on the finish or the quality of the build, just not for me. The five string coda is a beauty, maybe some day will order a 35" neck on a coda.

ah, I saw your one for sale, sadly too late as it was sold.
It comes today

Enjoy mate! I have 5 white Spectors now (NS2, NS2A, Euro LX, NS2-JA and Bassman's Wimbish) and to my mind the most beautiful looking and best sounding basses known to man....

I'm glad the wimbish is getting the attention it deserves. I loved the look just couldn't get to grips with the shape.

Enjoy

well I've got it. It's lovely. Very well made and a good weight. Got a gig Sunday, so It'll get a proper thrashing then, in the meantime it's on the sofa next to me

Am I right in thinking the original numbered run (# of 30) are now sold out and Spector are building more (standard serials with same spec) to order? Either way, nice bass and the maple bodies (rather than alder) are closer to the original NS-2.

[police squad]

I don't know about the serial numbers but I've seen 2 of these and they weren't numbered. Either way I only paid just over £1500 so limited or not, it's still a good price.
Used it last night and it does sound good. Totally different to my P basses but still loads of clout. Looks great too.
Lots of sustain and a nice growl

Pics? :-)

[Defo]

Beeeeeeautiful.

I have the DW Sig Euro4LX with the narrow neck, brings me back to my 80s Aria days, best bass I've ever played in 30 years- enjoy!
