karlfer Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 (edited) Just taken this as part trade. I'm hoping when this is gone, I'm finished. Aye, right . Approx 2007, good condition but lots of light buckle rash on the back, couple of dints here and there. It's a well gigged bass. Not cosmetically mint be any means, BUT, that Holoflash does some cool? things I've done a quick set up and changed the strings. VERY easy bass to work on. Very well made Korean bass, neck thru construction. IMO a decent bass for this sort of price. They seem to be around £650 new in the UK, but not the easiest bass to find. Weight 9lb 4oz. I'm not getting any neck dive, but I do use very wide straps. SPEC. Maple body construction, Holoflash finish. Spector TonePump Jr. active tone controls and EMG Pickups. 3-piece maple neck through construction Rosewood fingerboard 24 frets 34" scale length 16" radius. Pearl dot neck inlay. Spector die cast bridge, 2 volume controls, 9-volt active - bass and treble Bridge pickup: EMG SSD Neck pickups: EMG SSD Pickup type: passive - dual coil Legend 4X Classic Electric Bass Guitar Width at nut: 1.56" String spacing at bridge: 0.70" Truss hex key size: 4mm Bridge hex key size: 2mm Comes with a fair conditioned Stagg gigbag. Any trial in Wigan. £325 collected from Wigan please, or £350 by insured courier BUT UK only I'm afraid. TRADES....................... I have some loot floating about, that somebody might like to take with the bass . Particularly looking at Barefaced or a 50's style Fender Precision. Feedback linked below, many thanks for looking, cheers, Karl.

Damonjames Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 For those who don't know, I LOVE. Spector basses and can't rave about them enough. Even the Korean stuff has amazing build quality, and have considered getting a Rex before now. If you were to swap out that pre for a tone pump and put some EMG DC's in there (easily picked up for under £100 in the used gear section), I doubt you could get better bass for the money (especially if you are a rock/hard rock/metal kind of player). Even the standard pump Jr. And HZ's will have your typical active bass sound (a touch too bright for my taste, hence the above upgrade), but would make a great all rounder. That finish is KILLER!!!!!! GLWTS Karl! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlfer Posted August 4, 2016 Author Share Posted August 4, 2016 (edited) Thanks chaps. Damon, thanks for that. I've advertised it elsewhere and a nice chap has put a message up that it is in fact a REX and they are over £900. Apparently this has the slightly different shape and pick ups , of a REX. I DON'T KNOW, but I've put a post up asking for expert advice, in the GEAR section. Whatever happens, the price will not be going up, even if it is the more expensive REX. Damon, you know where I am EDIT, another guy has just chipped in, quote "that's a REX signature dude" Edited August 4, 2016 by karlfer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bagsieblue Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Yep that's a Rex Karl, A squarer shape than the legend. Great bass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlfer Posted August 4, 2016 Author Share Posted August 4, 2016 Cheers Martyn, that's 4 telling me it's a £900 + new REX. The [s]song[/s] price remains the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damonjames Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Sorry Karl, I didn't even realise you hadn't put Rex in the title, I just saw it "elsewhere" and ran like a moth to a flame. That holoflash is so cool!!! The waters are a little murky with these, I'm not so sure it's a Rex signature... I think they were made for a short time in the Czech Republic. The "Rex" part simply refers to the thunder bird style body shape, hence "Spector legend Rex holoflash" should be the correct title. The Rex signature came in holoflash, but also a dark greyish brown colour, and had DC's and a tone pump AFAIK. I am happy to be corrected, but I'm sure cetera will be along to sort us all out 😂 And don't tempt me Karl!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
