Spector NS-J2 Demo

[GaryGrzybek]

Used to have the Kramer version. The sound is exactly the same. Very, very sweet bass!

[Bolchoseth]

 You should Tes old SSD NS spector bas Sound... This bass is good but cost to much.

[Bluesteel484]

Nice playing man

[maddtappin]

I almost bought this one, but went with a USA NS-4 FM.

[Chriskkboongg]

I love my Euro 4lx and hope to buy a USA bolt-on someday!

[gz4txb]

the short pluck in 1:50 lets us just guess what a slapping master bass this baby is....

[brooklynstudio]

A review where the player actually plays and doesn't speak? Yes!

[StepXX]

Hi! Thanks for the demo : )

Did you use any effects while recording this video?

[johnmontagnamusic]

@StepXX none; just a hint of compression.

[LokiNTB]

I believe thats a David Eden head in the background - nice choice

[ChrJo100]

Is the Aguilar Preamp activatet here?

[Yoshimitsu91]

I want a shirt like you, where to get it?

[Morgoth51]

@ethermouse

They didn't rip off the Design, they paid for it (Licensed from Spector in fact).

[MuscleCharger]

I want to change my pickups on my Rebop, I thought putting an EMG 35P + J, but I can also put the same config as NS2J: 2 x 35J ..........?

But I really have no idea of the tone result ......???

(sorry for my english)

[ikejones1]

are u the guy from disturbed?

[varaxxx]

for me, i've used both Spector and Warwick. i like them both actually. but i think Warwick is more punchy though

[chickenandababy]

i like spectors alot more than warwicks

[herchimer]

Agree

[oolassarran]

This bass sounds awesome!! I'm definetly getting one

[scarred2112]

NS-2Js are a HIGHLY overlooked version of the classic Spector. People either think of EMG P/J setups on the 4-strings or Soapbars on the 5 & 6s, but the combo of the different body woods, bolt-on vs neck-thru, and Jazz pickups make for an even *punchier* Spector-meets-Jazz Bass tone. My "Main Basses" are the Euro-made ReBop Bolt-On model... not for money reasons, but because I prefer the above (Alder backs & Maple/Zebrawood tops, bolt-on necks, my custom electronics) vs the N/T Spectors.

[dearest009]

look like streamer warwick bass

but ofcourse....sounds gool

[NeuesZiel]

Ned Steinberger designed the NS shape for Spector in the late 70's and Warwick was licensed to use the design for their Streamers when they first started out. It was originally called 'Streamer licensed by Spector' but it has since changed so much that they no longer need the license to build it.

[dearest009]

thanks for the information ^^

[Zelious12]

Warwicks and Spectors are pretty much the best. Of course they are similiar, lol. Gotta love 'em right?

[misanthroposy]

@dearest009 Well maybe the other way around. The NS body shape was out before the streamer shape.

[goiano20]

dude playing w/o the pick the sound is sounds so much better. Natural u noe

[FrttMs]

Depends on your likings. Some songs almost require to be played with a pick, for example My Friend of Misery by Metallica. It sounds so much better with a pick than without.

And don't bash me, I'm not a Metallica fanboy.

[jedynyiprawdziwyGomo]

@FrttMs you can also use double thumb slap to sound like a pick:P

[Metalmoe94]

@FrttMs

Why should someone bash you if you were a Metallica fan?

IMO they are the best band.

[mastadon1111]

sounds cool!

[danielrosero]

lol pic!

[peaveybassist13]

spectors are the greatest basses in the world. where do you get thats spector t shirt!??!!??!

[jgsky]

I'm falling in love with spector!

[JasonNewsted1990]

Spector Rules !!!

[scarred2112]

Where do I sell a kidney? ;-) I'd a *BIG* fan of non-traditional Spectors (bolt-ons, Jazz pups), am in the middle of outfitting my Euro-built bolt-on ReBop series 4, 5 & 5 fretless with Aguilar-OBP3 preamps and Nordstrand Big Single pickups to get that amazing "Spector meets Jazz Bass" tone that's apparent when John starts playing fingerstyle near the end of the video.

[misanthroposy]

@scarred2112 I thought the rebops came with OBP1 pre amp. Because doesn't a OBP3 have boost and cut. Where as rebops only have boost?

[scarred2112]

The original "Non-DLX" versions (All Alder body/No Maple top/No Crown Inlays) of the ReBop did indeed some with OBP-1s until Spector came up with their own "TonePump" which is *VERY* closely based on the Aguilar: 2-band, Boost only. I've installed OBP-3s in my ReBops as I'm far too fond of boost/cut preamps as well as the ability to control the Mids, which I find especially useful in my fretless ReBop (I've found mids the key for fretless bass to cut through a live mix).
