cetera Posted August 6, 2010 Posted August 6, 2010 Wow! I've just been browsing the new 'improved' Spector website (launched yesterday) for the last hour or so and have to say that it is one of the best bass manufacturer websites I've ever seen! [url="http://www.spectorbass.com/"]http://www.spectorbass.com/[/url] ALL the models through the years with full details on each one, history, artists, tech guides, links, accessories, online store, dealers etc etc etc.... Over 200 pages of info.... It's porn to me.... Quote
charic Posted August 6, 2010 Posted August 6, 2010 Only thing it seems to be lacking is a "design a bass" section for custom basses. Would have been nice. Otherwise, great site Quote
molan Posted August 6, 2010 Posted August 6, 2010 Nice - I've been chatting to PJ this week - such a helpful guy and really concerned about a small tech issue I had Quote
cetera Posted August 6, 2010 Author Posted August 6, 2010 Finally, this website is worthy of the legendary 'customer service' that PJ and Stuart are known for with the Spector brand.... Quote
7string Posted August 6, 2010 Posted August 6, 2010 Great website The NS-2 is a timeless classic. Quote
Kiwi Posted August 7, 2010 Posted August 7, 2010 [url="http://www.spectorbass.com/usa/SE/ns-5h2.html"]http://www.spectorbass.com/usa/SE/ns-5h2.html[/url] Not all of it appears to be working. But I like the way its sort of gathered up a lot of the existing information that was around and put it in one easy to access place. Quote
Wil Posted August 9, 2010 Posted August 9, 2010 (edited) This is a really good site - so good in fact I've discovered my main bass isnt what I thought it was! I thought it was a Legend 5 Custom but they're advertised as having a set neck and 3 band EQ - mine is definately a through neck and has a 2 band EQ. By the looks of things I in fact have an NS-20005. I'd never heard of that model line before! Nice bass whatever the model name though, and that's all that really matters.

That's part of what they're trying to address with the site.... the confusion/discrepancies between models... I used to have an NS2000-4 (the 4 string version of yours) and it was a really excellent bass! Quote
Chris2112 Posted August 10, 2010 Posted August 10, 2010 Really good website, and really good basses! Quote

machinehead Posted August 10, 2010 Posted August 10, 2010 I can't seem to find my CRFM5. It's all maple body and neck with rosewood fretboard. It originally had an Aguilar pre-amp although it now has a U retro. It's a superb bass, certainly the best playing and sounding bass I own. Frank Quote
