"Stuart Spector may be the heart of Spector but PJ Rubal was certainly its soul! I have known PJ for over 20 years and the man has infinite knowledge of Spector basses as well as many other fine brands. PJ is a total professional and very accessible; I respect his views as both a player and a collector."
