I just got my bass back from my tech. I needed some neck adjustment but mostly it was being set up for the Spector SS Tapered strings. So far I like.

But check the pic. I find it interesting that without my saying anything he angled back the string saddles. I think I like it that way. :D

They even forged Stuart's Signature. :eek: :rollno: :scowl: :spit:

Anybody looking for a Sansamp RBI? I have a pair in great shape I'm wanting to get rid of now that I picked up my aguilar pedals. Not too sure how the shipping thing works as I've never shipped gear but I'm willing to learn and hook a club member or two up if someones looking for one.

Apparently Performers cannot take heavier gauge strings, because the neck starts to come out of the bloody pocket!

I'm probably just going to use larger screws, and hope that works.

I would try a balanced tension string like circle K or d'addario

Well, it looks like we finally found a new drummer!
We have our 3rd rehearsal with him tomorrow evening, so I'll bring my Moog Taurus & PJB bass rig with me (I've been playing through my singer's ancient but adequate Peavey bass rig until we found a permanent drummer). Last week I played my NS-4 at rehearsal for the first time in ages, and it was just killing.
Feels so good to be back in the saddle again.... :bassist:

Ok, I've been out of the loop awhile. Major move, death in the family, getting nursing school lined up for fall. So all that said, I've been away for a little bit. Now a big question to all the Spector Family . REX4 Korean $500 with case, near mint. Good deal bad deal, pros and cons. I also have an EMG 35P and 35TW in hand that I would throw into it over the HZ's. current line up is a stock ReBop Zebra Bolt on and a legend upgraded to EMGX P/J with BQS. Worth the jump and any experience with it.

As always, thanks for any Input and experiences.

$500 with case is a solid deal on a Rex 4, adding the P/TW combo would be a great add for the Rex as well. Use the push/pull tap for the TW and you'll get the best of both worlds, with the 35P. The neck thru and all maple design of the Rex does add some grit and growl that you're not going to get from the Rebop or the Legend, and if you like the EMG preamps (you said you had the BQC in the Legend) I'd recommend running the stock BTS at 18v with the upgrade and you'll have a killer bass. The Tonepump would be another preamp I'd seriously consider as well, (the newer model with the trim pot), to get you as close to the classic Spector sound with that bass. The Rex is a great bass, I have owned and gigged extensively with a Rex 4 and currently own a 5.
The body shape and cutaway doesn't lend itself to high register noodling, but most players (myself, for one) looking at the Rex are probably not looking at buying it to wear chest high in a fusion ensemble.
In my opinion, anyhow.:) YMMV.

I always love seeing this bass. I'll bet it was sweet to strap it on once again. :bassist:

That's just horrific. Just noticed the price too, $2K for what's basically a Spector shaped (loosely) bit of wood. There's even damage on the neck from what I'm assuming is the wall stand. Shows the quality of the paint used...

Still a Spector....Performer, I think, but definitely not a Forte!!

Sounds about right. I paid $650 for mine with EMG DCs and a Trim pot Tone pump in it.
