Autographed Rex Brown PANTERA-Era Bass Up For Auction
December 5, 2007, 16 years ago
Up for auction at eBay until December 13th is a Spector bass used by PANTERA bassist Rex Brown.
A description reads: "USA Spector bass, handmade by Stuart Spector for Rex Brown of Pantera. This is not just a Rex signature model bass, but one specifically made for him to tour with.
Rex was given this bass in the summer of 2000 during the OZZFest tour. This was either the 2nd or 3rd Rex bass he received, (after the prototype).
After Ozzfest, Rex also used this bass on the "Extreme Steel Tour", which ended up being Pantera's last tour ever. It features an 18 volt active pickup system, (two 9v batteries). Features a custom paint job like non other.
This bass was crafted by Spector, then sent, 'unfinished' to an artist / friend of Pantera's who then applied his unique design with a Pantera / Texas / Camoflauge theme. A unique camoflauge design that actually features Pantera's Cowboy's From Hell symbol "branded" into the finish of the bass.
If you run your hand over these branded spots, you can feel the indentation, where they actually used a metal cattle-brand with the "CFH" symbol and permanently branded the image in.
The bass is also autographed on the back, and says "Smoke Whiskey, Rex ".
The normal USA-made Rex bass available to the public from Spector, has a retail price of $5299.00 , so you can imagine the craftwork that goes into this handmade bass."
