L - R... Spector Coda Pro 4 (2013), Kramer Spector NS2B (late 80s) & Stuart Spector Design (SSD) NS-94 (1994)

Spectacular @cetera, keep up the good work 🙂

All very cool. What's the history of the NS-94 as a model? How did that come about as a design? Looks intriguing to me.

That Squier P is very bling and very cool.

I had one in amber with LED’s - still wonder where that bass is; it cropped up once on eBay…think I was 18/19 when I bought it.

 

Theyre Korean build, neck through…very cool/different

Chapeau!

Think there's at least 2 of those that I was close to buying 😶‍🌫️

[Sean]

One of them has motivated me to sell something I've got.

I'm going to have to sit down and do one of these in the next few days. 2025 has been a very expensive year, so far.

 

Is it like a church confessional?

Yes, though maybe more like AA? . e.g. My name is *name* and I'm a bass buying addict....

It was a new 'transitional' model in the early 90's when Stuart Spector was re-establishing his brand after the Kramer bankruptcy. He used the name SSD (Stuart Spector Design) and tried some new shapes/designs like this one, alongside the tried and tested NS2 shape, until he got his brand name of 'Spector' back....

This was one of the first Asian (Korean) models he had produced for the brand and it is of very high quality (maple, neck-thru, EMG BTS circuit). Kind of a precursor to the NS2000/4 model that came along soon afterwards...

Alas the SR isn't the Pebble Body, but that P 'n Grabber combination, nice.

[crazycloud]

I'd have #6 and maybe #1 myself, except they're 4s.

 

Big hoard and hope you enjoy them. It's been a long time since I've had such a big haul in a brief time myself.

Was nearly 7 when you played that black Ripper 😂
