Jarrod, your Rex is looking really sweet. I remember before when it had a bunch of stickers and different knobs but I have to say, it really looks great in that picture.

Thanks ! Just got it back from being buffed . I am very happy with it !

in and +1 on the Rex Jarrod, it looks really cool. Man lots of nice basses to open this thread.

I shot photos/video of Spector Endorsed Artist Christy Lichtenstein and her all-female Led Zeppelin Tribute Band last night in Malibu...
It was a killer show. And they rocked it. You know you've got to be good to step up to Plant, Page, Jones and Bonham.
They did an awesome set and Christy showed off her "Pitts" Spector. Her old Q5-Pro was recently refinished to match her high-performance airplane. When not rocking one of her USA NS-5XLs (she has two, both natural oil finish, one normal, one fretless) or her Euro5LX or her Pitts Spector, she's a high-performance aerobatic (professional) pilot.
How cool is that?

BTW: her Q5 has been gutted and has EMG DC pups and the Spector TonePump installed in it. It sounded pure Spector last night.

What a beauty! And a rare one at that!

 

[grendle]

That's the customized doug wimbish sig right?

Yes. Trans green, 35" scale, detuner. 18v tonepump.

 

[grendle]

Here are my newest 5 strings. The green one has just been updated with the black hardware in lieu of the gold.

Awesome!

 

[grendle]

Thanks. The green and gold was a bit to pimp for me.

Lol that's why I like it.

 

[grendle]

Cool paint job on that one! Wow! That NS5 looks huge on her! Lol

My 1987 NS2-A.

Now with DR Black Beauties and Creative Cuts decals in Black Pearl, inspired by JPS.

To cover the 12th Fret Dots, I took the inlay for the 24th Fret, cut it down the middle & spaced the halves apart to cover the dots.

Then I took one of the spare 5th Fret decals and put that over it.

Quick question:

My strings of choice are Labella Hard Rockin' Steels. I use the standard gauge set, .45-.128. These are pretty stiff rounds, more like Roto 66's vs. a looser string like High Beams, Sunbeams, etc.

Does the 35" scale of a Spector 5 make a big difference in tension? Would it be better to use a lighter gauge or should I stick with what I typically use?

Those gauges should be fine. The 35" adds a bit of tension but even the 34" spectors have a tight b. No slop on these basses.
