Yes they do and it's a killer ultra fast neck thru design. Look on the Spector website for the Rex Pro bass. It easily has the most aggressive sound of any bass I've played. It makes my Warwick thumb bass seem sedate. I'd highly recommend it to anyone playing progressive rock or metal.
The holoflash finish is a love it or hate it thing (I love it). On stage the color of this bass constantly changes as the light hits it from different directions. Here's a pic from a different angle where you can clearly see the colors are different from the first pics I posted.

See that above? Why can't Spector use their 4-string headstock shape like their 5'ers do on the Rex Brown Model? I hate their 5-string headstock shape. To me, the headstock on the 4-string is a big, big part of the attraction to me. It seems that once upon a time, their 5-string headstocks had the same shape as the 4-string headstock. Or, am I wrong about that?

Not sure about the historical aspects of the Spector headstock shapes but they do offer the 4string headstock shape on their 5string basses in a couple of models. I think the Legend series and the performer series 5strings have that traditional Spector shape as do the Rex Brown and Mike Kroeger signature basses.
I personally like the 4string headstock shape and have always thought the 5string elongated headstock looked out of proportion or just a little off, same with their guitar headstocks. However I'm sure there are many out there that like the look of the elongated 5er... to each their own.

Yeah, they do offer it on those particular models. And, wouldn't you know it's the models I have NO DESIRE to own, of course. :rollno:
