I mean in terms of weight and balance?[/quote] Weight is reasonable on both... though balance on the Kramer one is a little neck heavy.... Both sound great though!

doctor_of_the_bass Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Nice collection Gary!!!! (he says!!) Seriously, you are nearly as bad a boy as me! We should get together and open the world's biggest bass shop! Hope you are keeping well and spitting fire/blood etc!!! Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cetera Posted May 21, 2010 Author Share Posted May 21, 2010 Cheers Nick! Yep, all good & busy here! I reckon between us we probably have the finest collection of basses in the country eh? Maybe it should be a museum though as there's very few I'm looking to move on.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul S Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 Wow. I'll say that again. Wow. Which do you use the most? I can't help but notice a glaring omission, though...... (sorry, couldn't resist...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well..... they all get played.... but I guess the most played is the pre-Kramer Spector NS2 in cherry sunburst. ....and yes there is a glaring omission You know how to put that right though..... lol!

cetera Posted July 13, 2010 Author Share Posted July 13, 2010 A couple more recent arrivals..... Inspired by the quality of the all-blue ESP 'The Surveyor' featured earlier in this thread I've just imported a couple of rare mid 80's ESP 'Masayoshi Yamashita' basses from Japan.... (the 2nd one is active and EMG-loaded!): Just need to find 5 mins now to put them through their paces & see what the multi-P pickup configuration is capable of!

Lorne Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 Damn nice collection Cetera We had a lake placid blue E.S.P. Precision in the shop I worked in,in the early 1990's.I could have had it for £150,still kicking myself now,20 years later BTW,you have too many Euro Spectors and I would suggest you give one to me,especially as I don't have one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herbsley Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Always a good thread to visit when you fancy ogling some fine Spectors - among others of course. Given your loyalty to the brand, you should think about contacting Stuart and putting together a Cetera Signature Edition! Any thoughts to the model, spec, and colourway you would insist on? Or do you already own one which you secretly think [b]should be[/b] the Cetera Signature Edition? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be nice! To be honest I think an NS2 in gloss black with a thinner neck (like the pre-Kramers/Kramers), gold hardware and a HazLab preamp would have to be my 'signature' model.... and I already have one of those!

Herbsley Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Cool. Just need to bang a 'Cetera' sticker together on Photoshop, slap it on yer black NS2, and email a pic to Stuart with a link to this thread and the simple message of - "Dear Stu. Thoughts?". I'm sure that'll be job done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmshaw37 Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 i'm so pleased i've found you! IS there another bass like the punisher - or even similar? i'm in love with mine for all occasions, but obviously it doesnt look the part in all occasions! cheers bud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wil Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 Mr Cetera, Mr Cetera! As a man who owns a lot of Spectors, how do you rate the EMG-HZ pickup/SD preamp combo from the lower end Spectors compared to the "proper" EMGs + tonepump combo on the higher end models? Is there much in it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
