Cosmo Valdemar Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 (edited) I've just purchased this Spector Rex brand new from Mark at Bass Direct. I've only had it about a month but as usual something else has caught my eye, something has to go, etc, etc... Same old story. As expected, it's in as-new condition and is, as far as I can see, totally blemish free. Official specs: [i][b]NECK[/b][/i] [i][b]HARDWARE[/b][/i] [b]NECK CONSTRUCTION:[/b] 3-Piece Rock Maple Neck-Thru Body Design Graphite Reinforced [b]FINGERBOARD:[/b] Rosewood [b]NUMBER OF FRETS:[/b] 24 [b]SCALE LENGTH:[/b] 34" [b]RADIUS:[/b] 16" [b]NECK INLAYS:[/b] Pearl Dot [b]WIDTH AT NUT:[/b] 1.56" [b]STRING SPACING AT BRIDGE:[/b] 0.70" [b]BRIDGE HEX KEY SIZE:[/b] 2mm [b]TRUSS HEX KEY SIZE:[/b] 4mm COLOR: Black [b]BRIDGE:[/b] SPECTOR® Die Cast Locking Bridge [i][b]ELECTRONICS[/b][/i] [b]TONE CIRCUIT:[/b] EMG® BT™ [b]CIRCUIT TYPE:[/b] 9-Volt Active - Boost and cut, bass and treble [b]BRIDGE PICKUP:[/b] EMG® 35HZ™ [b]NECK PICKUPS:[/b] EMG® 35HZ™ [b]PICKUP TYPE:[/b] Passive - Dual Coil [b][i]BODY[/i][/b] Our [i][b]Professional Series™ REX™[/b][/i] Basses Feature Neck-Thru Body Construction with Maple Wings.

Makes no difference to the sound. And despite the shape, it fits happily inside a standard gig bag. Quite a rare beast on these shores, a quick Google search shows they retail at around £839.99 - I'll ask [s]£600[/s] [s]£550[/s] £[s]500[/s] £475 for mine. Collection preferred but can arrange postage if needed at buyer's cost.

Graham Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 I don't normally go in for daft shaped basses, but I actually quite like this; probably partly to do with Rex Brown going quite a lot up in my estimations as a bassist recently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gust0o Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Ooh, very nice, Cosmo! I have had a lot of time for Rex - in the older underrated bassists thread he was my nomination, some superb work with Pantera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
