NBD!

After much delay, teeth gnashing and worrying - it's here. It's a lot lighter than I thought it would be. Somewhere between my Rebop and my Forte - weight-wise.

Seems to be V V Mid and stacked B/T, not sure if this is EMG pre or not.

Sounds quite good. Need to slap some new strings on it, but it plays rather well. Also, working on a custom Rebop with BC and PJ. Details to follow. :D

I've really been wanting to add some 40P/J pickups and a Tonepump to my Rex5 recently. Considering the Rex uses a solid maple body and neck-through construction like the U.S. models, some upgraded electronics could turn this into a seriously mean(er) bass! :bassist:

My thoughts exactly... my cr4fm is solid maple with P/Js and a TP and it is a beast... never mind the fact the the Rex looks soo cool :bassist:

Yep, I love the look of the Rex. I've actually been wondering about going with P/P pickups instead of P/J. I've never seen a Spector with a dual P setup, but I played a Fender Blacktop Jazz with the dual P's and it was the best sounding Fender I've ever played. Mixing that with an EMG/Spector tone might turn out awesome I think.

Talk about timing! Allison Webster, Alex's wife is a photographer and she took recent pictures of Five Finger Death Punch at a show. She happened to post a close up of his Rex bass with the P/J pickups.

I need to drive up to Anaheim or LA to catch CC. It'd be nice to see them. Still trying to catch Mastodon, and of course Iron Maiden.

I've seen Dillinger Escape Plan 5 times. Once, Mastodon opened for them, but I missed the opening act. :/

Anyway, updated family pic:

Mastodon live is awesome. Even with the bass drum too loud (could barely hear troy's awesome bass work). The sheer energy was incredible. I need to see dillinger though. I hear they really bring it live.
Awesome family pic BTW. :bassist:

Man, that does suck but I bet they will come around again. They aren't even playing in my area at all so something tells me they will add another string of dates. I sure hope they do.
