Thanks!
She's my wild child. A 35" scale Spector Rex 5 Pro all maple neck through with stock BT preamp and holoflash paint, I call her Cindy (as in Cindy Lauper because of all the wild colors). Plays sweet, sounds awesome and has a very unique ever changing color pattern. Used it's about the same price as a new Eppi TBird VP or a third the price of a new Gibby. Hangs right there with them performance wise. Well worth the money...
Rock n roll man. Good chops, good riff, good sounds. Nice jacket, bassie!
I'm shopping around for a 5er... that one's cool...
They are getting harder to find now that Spector discontinued them. The Spector Legend version is a bit more common but it's not really the same bass. The legend has a Bolt on neck, different pups and preamp and I think different body wood. The Rex Pro is the middle of the pack offering from Spector and has the maple wings and three piece maple Through neck design along with different pups and preamp that make it sound quite different from the Legend series. The Spector Forte version is the top of the line and quite nice but also much more expensive. I'll keep my eye open for any 5ers that pop up, but you might want to jump in the Spector club thread and ask if anyone has one for sale, that's probably the best place to find one.

TBH, it's my least played bass. It's kinda heavy-close to 11 lbs.-and if I'm doing a gig where I have room for a TBird, I'm more likely to take the '67. I'm not trying to sell it but I'm not married to it either. At first I didn't like the sound w/ the P/J pups but when I put on the EB Cobalt Flats, it made all the difference in the world. In other words, it sounds like a 'Bird.Yeah cut it out...

Thanks for your response.
It's a Epi ProIV. Indo/2016
Won't offer, certain I can't afford it.TBH, it's my least played bass. It's kinda heavy-close to 11 lbs.-and if I'm doing a gig where I have room for a TBird, I'm more likely to take the '67.

Yet.
That helps.
I believe the ProIV is the same size as the Goth (other club members chime in please).
Here's some pics of my Goth in a Gig bag and some info on the type of bag it is...
(Click on the pic to enlarge it)
Note - the headstock of the Goth is pushing pretty good against the inside of the bag. It zips up just fine and probably offers a fair degree of protection, but it's close to borderline for the Goth in my opinion.
It's not going any where. I gots a gig 10/6 where I'll prolly be playing it. Then back in its case for awhile.

Latest issue of the revamped Bassplayer mag - legendary sessions player Michael Rhodes holding his Seymour Duncan T-bird pu J - that's a awesome mix right there -
The 'Rockbag' I have my 67 NR in is longer and Definitely gives the headstock better protection. I'm not home 'til tomorrow but I'll try to post pics and any info I can find on it.
