Ahh the ns2j, the secret monster behind late 80's chili peppers and the early days of living colour. On my list of dream basses

rumor has it... that b natural harmonic is still ringing

Love those 80's Spector basses..never been privileged to own one. I'd definitely want a monster preamp installed. Sounds great and you do it justice!!!!!

I love this review! Amazing tone, amazing playing and hilarious commentary. 👍🏻👍🏻

Just got an ns2jar and I love it best bass I’ve ever played and it was 1k big steal

3:13 R.I.P. Headphones's users!

Wow, that harmonic was amazing. My bass playing pal will be getting this video link. He has to hear this! Thanks Johnny, most excellent!

A bass review that every bass player should see.

Wild brutal and clean sound lmao.

Both my Spectors are monsters...nuff said...both Euros...a 4 and a 5er...I agree Mr Johnny...love your energy...lol...I gotta get one of those!

I thought my phone froze or a minute. That harmonic was crazy

Johnny, looks like the Lord blessed you with a desire of your heart. Awesome bass! AWESOME Bass player. 😎

Man you are a true bassist

Amazing bass whaouuu, Thanks for sharing SV

SHADA KA! Damn that sounds good!

l played one years ago and I was blown away by way bass brother your all right with me

And that sustain is NO joke!!!!

Ooooooweeee that thing is zinging daaaaaammmnnn

We all messed up, your 💯 correct. 2021 I lost my sn5 1994 Stuart spector special design and I regret it to this day...

Bought one sold it, and then I did it for the rest of my life ;-) Sell me that bass please, you know how I love Spector J. L. Holla!

Love my spectors and want a us made Spector bass , time to save up for one more then likely a 4 or a 6 string

it's a monster..perfect if you want to experiment with sound design,other worldy tones,and those harmonics are an instrument by itself...

Got an 87 NS2A with EMG PJX activrs and a LHZ HAZLAB clone pre. It rips just like this one!

I have the identical bass, almost 40 years old and still an awesome bass.

Sustain 4 ever

The sustain on that thing is epic!

I've never seen anyone with that one with the Badass bridge.... I have one in my bedroom. We are brothers for life..... I have the original made in Japan.

Awesome vid J! I'm wondering how close the new euro classic j tone would be.

Fucking love this guy!

Hey man, awesome bass and nice playing. I got a question, do you think a spector ns 2000/5 from 97 for 400 usd is worth it? Keep up the good energy!

Johnny Boy!!!! I got a 1993 NS-2 with the PJ ups Had made by Stuart himself. You'd have to kill me to get it!!!!

Allllll the way on 1!🙃

Hi and thanks for all those videos and advises!! I tried to look for monster preamps to mod a bass but it seems that here in europe they are no longer avaliable.....What other preamps do yo recommend fot quality and price?? thanks!!

I wish you lived in Houston.

took a little weed nap while filming did we? how many basses you got??i've had a100+ but only about 7 at any given time.(finally realizing the stupidity of carrying 4 basses to every gig-2 basses with different tunings and a back up for each one but only playing one of the four all night cured me of owning more than two at a time-1 4string and 1 5string)still haven't replaced the one spector i let get away but you pushed me to trading these two at the house for two spectors tomorrow with this video.paired with my trace elliot rig i think it will make the Angels rejoice.THANK YOU SIR.LOVE YOUR CHANNELhow about a video with your entire collection on display?

Johnny,I wanted one the minute I heard {Crowed House,Nick Seymour},,the most beautiful,,,,,sound.

Have you ever played an authentic Guild Pilot?I own 15 basses and this 80s beauty is great and was my main weapon in my heavy gigging days.

What strings are you using?

Where do you find your tone monster preamps. I can't seem to find them anywhere

Brilliant bass,,Johnny,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ,should you get a chance, could you please,have a look at [Artist ag105 active electric bass },,,,I own one,and love,easy to work on,and very inexpensive, would love your opinion,,,,and anyone else on,Johnny's site?

Do they make a 5?

sharakaka jesus!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! kkkkkkk

I want one

saca cacaaaaa!!

This is why I refuse to sell my custom NS-2 (35" scale). Nope, not going to happen, sold some of my others (NS-5) but not my baby!

Is that a lemon beside the hand sanitizer?? Spectors are all about the growl, and that's why I like my Emg Spector euro very much. That NS 2j is one crazy animal. Thanks for showing it

He would be better off doing a rap video

I would buy that bass from you if you still had it, sad to assume that I highly doubt you kept it. Johnny doesn't keep most instruments folks, it's a sickness he and many of us suffer from called G.A.S. GEAR ACQUISITION SYNDROME... And after the chase is done, J.L. sells it for something else that sounds amazing, but gets boring somehow in the near future lol... Insanity at its most basic material form. I'm just saying, you REALLY should have kept that bass Johnny....

How many people are actually in there J.T, or is it adult ADHD? Just be yourself and slay that bass.
