Gotta say it again, Killer shot of a beautiful bass! WOW!
If looking at that pic does not produce SAS, I don't know what does?
Yeah, if it wasn't for ordering a new Coda 5 Deluxe a couple of weeks ago.
I'm still on cloud nine.

Thanks dudes. When I saw it on display at NAMM, I just had to have it so thanks to Limaguy, JPS, and PJ it became a reality. That's the great thing about this company....even a mediocre nobody player like me can get a bass like this when it is on display so keep your eyes open when they show their basses at BPL and NAMM.

Sure ya are! Congrats , look forward to pics.
I am still trying to talk myself in rolling two loved basses to pick up that NAMM "Coral Reef" bass.
Have that one and my red one side by side as my screensaver. Deliberating? hmmmmmm? LOL
Fire and Ice?

Totally great feeling! Now if I could just get my pinky under control.... looks like it's doing it's own funky dance on the side. LOL
Awwww man, I was so close to winning the blue EURO 5LX on ebay just now. I should have increased my bid as somebody sniped me at the last minute. So bummed!

I found this little gem online a week ago and have been trying to sell my 'wick to fund it's purchase. I finally found a buyer, his payment cleared today and within 5 min I was on the phone giving the GC employee my credit card number, gotta get that 1% cash back too! The guy on the phone had to double check to make sure the price was marked correctly. Yeah, that's right, a Spector Rebop 5 for just under $600 shipped to my door. It won't be coming with a gig bag or case, which works for me, I already have a nice SKB that it'll fit right into.
I am so excited!!!
I had a Legend Bubinga 4 a few years ago. It came with active EMG P/Js and a BQC system. I metallized it by ordering a full set of black hardware directly from Spector. I still remember how amazed I was that PJ had gotten back to me so quickly with pricing, and on a Saturday no less!! Trying to get black hardware for that 'wick was a PITA. And outrageously expensive to order from W. Spector takes care of their customers and even the entry level instruments are on par with most other companies mid to high end equipment Ibanez.
I'll post up some better pics than the GC pic for sure. I'll wait to request my number after I actually have it in my grubby hands.
Can't wait

That's awesome. I have a new Rebop 5 and it's like a gateway drug. This week I've been selling everything I own to get a Euro.
Let us know how that GC transaction goes after you receive it. I always wonder what you might get off the wall/floor in a GC, sight unseen.
And it's used to boot. It was a return, the guy brought it back after a week or so. Either he didn't like it or just used it to record and brought it back. I can return it to a local GC if there's anything wrong with it, but the dude said it plays flawless and the electrics work. Those will be gutted soon anyway, to make way for a set of 40DCs and an EMG BQC. As close to a Euro as I'll ever get.

Sweet! That is exactly like my Rebop 5 that I got from Guitar Center also. You will not be disappointed since it really is a great bass for the money. I think I might order a trim pot tonepump for mine soon though since the output is very hot and I want to be able to adjust it to the same level as my other 2 Spector's.
Can't wait until you get it and let us know what you think.
It's funny because when I ordered mine, I said the exact thing and wanted to swap out the tone pump and pickups with a BQC and EMG DC's. When I got the thing though, I was surprised how great it sounded. Of course, that was after swapping out the dead strings that were on the bass and tightening the loose pots since they were buzzing a bit.
Here is a clip I made like 2 weeks ago playing the riff from "rain when I die" by Alice in chains. I am tuned to C# and have the bass and treble turned up all the way but one thing that happens which I don't like is you get a hum in the background when you boost the treble all the way. Here is the clip and you can hear it in the background.

A few people mentioned that it might be the pickups since are passive and not hum canceling supposedly so completely disregard what i just said before and you might want to throw DC's in there since they are active. I think that is what I am going to do but I haven't completely decided yet.

I've seen that documentary. Amazing. Have you guys checked out Alex Webster's instructional book. I have it and I can't help but to laugh every time I see him play. It's mind blowing stuff. The book comes with a play along CD. If you are up for a challenge, it's a challenge of a lifetime. Well for me anyway.
Maybe I'll just keep selling stuff and buy a bloodless Alex Webster Spector .
