[quote name='TommyK' timestamp='1472012197' post='3117631'] ^erm... It is trans purple is it not??? Sorry about that... Good luck with the Gas! Lovely bass OP BTW. I keep looking at it longingly myself.. [/quote] I meant if it was this colour with white pickups and the neck humbucker, I'd have to sell one of the kids!!

I do wish I hadn't seen this... I just love the sterling basses. At least it's not trans purple with White HH or I'd be in REAL trouble!! GLWTS

Wow!!!

Always liked the Antigua finish, good luck with the sale!!

The photos don't really do it justice. It's unlike any other exotic top I've seen... It looks like it's water damaged and had years worth of cigs put out on it, but it's just the natural grain!!!! It was a tough choice to let it go, I just love that finish!! Again, couple that with the playability of a Spector and that classic NS body shape, how can you say no??? If anyone is concerned with them being overly growly, when I bought it, it had an EMG preamp, and I found it quite tame but very versatile. I imagine the Bart to be similar in this regard. Having said that I didn't find the trim pot tone pump overly aggressive with the trim pot dialled back a bit. Either way it's a cracker!!! Starting to have remorse now!!!

Hey, my old bass!! This is a belting example, I love the spalted maple top on this one, looks like it been burned with cigarettes :-) Sounds and plays really nicely- was my go to bass until My band circumstances changed, and miss it often. It had a trim pot tone pump when I had it, but I'm sure the Bart does it justice!! Dave is a top bloke to deal with too. I actually bought it from him to start and then sold it back to him!! Good luck Dave!

Do it Karl!!!

Go for it Karl!!

Jesus wept, this is a STEAL!! I have the 1001rb and it is killer, this must knock walls down. GLWTS

Up for sale is this as new boss tu-3. Bought just before Christmas for a second board that's no longer being used. Still in box (pretty sure there are no marks on it at all) will include mainland uk delivery. Can supply pics if needed, £40

It's probably better for all concerned lol

Basses?? I think it's only the FSR that survive from ANY of his gear to see the year out!!! I bet there is a pool of seafoam green at the base of his guitar stand as it quietly sweats waiting to be shifted on too lol.

This breaks my heart Karl... I was hoping you would hang on to this long enough to to shift my bass and get some pennies together. After reading some of the horror stories on these basses, I instantly loved this one when I played it. The pickups are very full, and the neck pickup could almost pass for a p. Neck is very comfy and I have tiny hands, so don't stress about the slightly deeper neck profile. It is reliced quite heavily as you would expect, but it is very light, noticeable after playing his old Adam Clayton. Someone is getting a steal!!!!

Lovely bass Brother. I think you may have just saved Karl too 😄

[quote name='karlfer' timestamp='1470321642' post='3105130'] Cheers Martyn, that's 4 telling me it's a £900 + new REX. The [s]song[/s] price remains the same [/quote] Yep, the usual price hemorrage on Spector and the unusual shape, I'd say this is priced about right, but a bargain for someone looking for one!!

Sorry Karl, I didn't even realise you hadn't put Rex in the title, I just saw it "elsewhere" and ran like a moth to a flame. That holoflash is so cool!!! The waters are a little murky with these, I'm not so sure it's a Rex signature... I think they were made for a short time in the Czech Republic. The "Rex" part simply refers to the thunder bird style body shape, hence "Spector legend Rex holoflash" should be the correct title. The Rex signature came in holoflash, but also a dark greyish brown colour, and had DC's and a tone pump AFAIK. I am happy to be corrected, but I'm sure cetera will be along to sort us all out 😂 And don't tempt me Karl!!

For those who don't know, I LOVE. Spector basses and can't rave about them enough. Even the Korean stuff has amazing build quality, and have considered getting a Rex before now. If you were to swap out that pre for a tone pump and put some EMG DC's in there (easily picked up for under £100 in the used gear section), I doubt you could get better bass for the money (especially if you are a rock/hard rock/metal kind of player). Even the standard pump Jr. And HZ's will have your typical active bass sound (a touch too bright for my taste, hence the above upgrade), but would make a great all rounder. That finish is KILLER!!!!!! GLWTS Karl!

Now that looks like a steal!! Good luck with the sale Karl!!
