#Spector bass korean serial numbers serial number#

I got one of these back in late 1991 in Bergenfield, NJ. Tags: Kramer, Spector, Steinberger, NS-2A, Bass, Guitar It is very reasonably priced and comes with a very nice padded Spector gig bag. It plays well, sounds awesome, and lives up to what I expect from a Spector bass for boatloads less than I would pay for similar quality instruments.Д«y the way, this bass is for sale so shoot me a message if you are interested in owning it. It weighs in at a bit over 8 1/2 pounds, which is not too bad. Lastly, this bass will not kill your shoulder and back.

BTW, an odd feature of these basses is that the serial number is stamped onto the pre-amplifier cavity cover. They are hooked up to a 9-volt pre-amplifier that sounds fabulous. There are four control knobs, including treble, bass, volume and tone. The Spector-branded pickups are in my favorite configuration: P-J. Also, the end pin has been relocated about ВЅ inch, so I figure its hole must have gotten stripped at some point. It came to me like this, and I have no idea where the original ended up. The low E tuner has been replaced with a matching Gotoh de-tuner. The bridge looks to be the same design as they use today, and the Schaller tuners are a nice find on an import bass. This NS-2A has its original black hardware, and the finish has held up a lot better than it did on the late 1980s Fenders. The neck is very playable and has a nice medium/low action. It is a little dinged up around the cover. The headstock has the SSD logo, and the original truss rod cover. Somebody changed the nut somewhere along the line, so there is a little roughness between the nut and the original finish. The neck has a rosewood fretboard with pearl dot inlays, and 23 years later it shows very little fret wear. The finish is in very good condition, with only some light dings. It is finished in a gorgeous semi-transparent cherry burst fade. This is a neck through bass with the same body shape as the NS, with a carved top and a concave back. So, this bass is a 1988 NS-2A, which is one of approximately 7000 that were built between 19. All of these basses were sold under the Spector name until Kramer went bankrupt in 1991. Kramer continued production of the NS, and introduced an imported line of basses that include the NS-2A we are talking about today. NS basses sold well, leading Kramer Guitars to buy the company in 1985. Yes, that is the same Ned Steinberger that started Steinberger guitars. вЂњNSвЂќ stands for Ned Steinberger, who helped design the bass. Stuart Spector is a luthier that started his own company in 1974, and he introduced his most famous bass, the NS, in 1977. But before I start yammering on about this bass, I had better explain the relationship between Spector and Kramer Guitars. Today we are going to look at a sweet 1988 Spector NS-2A bass.
