Less'n it's $11.22, it's out of my range at the moment.
I think I already offered the $25 cash I have on hand and they said no, but you can try!
This is by far my favorite of this design he's used off and on for years. Added to my WANT list.
From Rex himself 4/28/10 over on the Down board: "SAY FELLA'S ...THAT IN FACT IS THE NEW SPECTOR TELE, THAT'S COMIN' OUT THIS SUMMER!!! NO SLAP ON NECKS, I'VE HAD THIS DESIGN FOR MANY YRS. IT'S SPECTOR ALL THE WAY!!!"

I'll say it again. This man has astounding clout in the field. How many other bassists get to exercise creative license with body design and in turn have Spector make it a production model? This is one of the reasons among many as to why Rex just RULES outright

My word.
I doubt it's possible to list all the ways that I waaaant this bass...

Outstanding purchase on the Brownie. Very jealous indeed. I've been saving for a Forte X but locked in on this one when I found out it's going into production. I see this Tele in my future.

Super quick response from my email to Spector last night was in my inbox first thing this morning.
Hello Dan,
Stuart says perhaps August.

I asked Beav @ BC and he emailed PJ this AM for me. Still waiting to hear back.
Wonder what it'll be priced as? Hopefully closer to the Forte line!

That's my hope as well since I was initially gunning for the Forte X to begin with. In the ballpark of that would be really swell

Yeah if we're talking new NS2LX water cured walnut prices or something, Imma gon' pass...
Thought I'd throw together some history pics of this bass's evolution...
And here is an awesome HD vid of Rex's new band Arms of the Sun playing 'Slow' with the Spector.

Just got home from another night of taering s#!t up w/my green NS5CRFM. Being a part time guitard, the Rex six string in that Arms of the Sun vid has me fiending hard. I was fixing on an Arc 6 hardtail til' I saw that

So the new Rex sig (called the RXT) will be regular USA NS2 prices...
Not sure on release date yet. Considering placing an order though, still.

Though I bet it will be slightly cheaper as I don't think they would bury Solid AAAA maple under black paint.

True but there's a high gloss option that takes it up a good bit too! Still checking on when it'd actually be ready. They don't even had it 100% spec'd yet so not sure.
Stuart said perhaps August which could mean that is what they are shooting for..... probably later I would imagine.

That seems to be like the design that he's always wanted haha Good for the guys over at Spector to hook it up.. I still like the first spector rex shape better
