Uwe would approve.

Looks pretty good. But pricey too.

This is the third time this bass has been on ebay in about the past month or so. The seller keeps slightly lowering the price each time. It was also for sale on TB a couple of months ago. Beautiful bass, and the price is fair, wish I could swing it.

Looks stunning... but I don't like the bridge...

Oh the irony. Stuart Spector still can't get over Warwick copying the NS style 25 years ago but he has no problem copying a Gibson design.

35" B E A D. I'm not a nu-metal guy but that sounds like it would be a nice addition to anyone's bird collection. Of course, it's maple so it's not gonna sound like a bird. Nothing wrong with maple though...

35" ? Awe that kills it just as well.

Wouldn't you need a new nut to switch it back to standard tuning? What would the E sting feel like on a 35" scale?

I don't like the look of the bridge or headstock, tho I could probably deal with it. #3 piece is pretty cool

But methinks not at this time

I like those basses! Very Nikki Sixx!!

Spector is now also copying Fenders!! http://www.spectorbass.com/bass_us_coda.html

That's a great price. Very cool bass. I played a 35'' scale 4 string Modulus for a while. I liked it.

nice bass.
changing the nut, if necessary which i doubt, is not that big a deal. 35" scale is not really noticable. More of a tension issue as Rob stated. That is fixable with different brands or guages... my 5 string is 35" and hardly noticable. I always found more of a issue with the b string when you grab it between songs.
