DISC Spector Bass Euro 5LX Alex Webster Bass, Black Gloss w/ Graphic

Full Description

With attitude to match the sound, Alex's bass sports a "Blood Splatter" paint job, red Crown Inlays and matte black hardware.

For over 20 years Alex Webster, the bassist for Cannibal Corpse and Blotted Science, has been at the forefront of the Death Metal genre of music. Alex's three-finger "galloping" style gives him some of the technically fastest riffs in the music industry and as such he needs a bass with a neck that was built for speed.

Spector have been making bass guitars for famous artists since 1977. Since then Stuart Spector's select team of designers has grown in stature, often in close collaboration with many world-famous performers. Gene Simmons (KISS) commissioned several Brooklyn Era SB-1\'99 basses from Stuart in the late 1970's. Some of the modifications included a special gloss black paint job with white binding along the sides of the body. Stuart shaved down the normally bulbous horns of the SB-1 into points. In 1982 Sting favoured Spector's NS-2, and relyed upon it while out on the Police's Synchronicity Tour. The NS-2 was also the weapon of choice for Jack Bruce (Cream), who favoured the instrument during his 80s solo career.

The Spector range has since become extensive and varied. In response to fans constant demand for 'a bass like theirs', Spector collaborated closely with several leading artists to create the Spector Signature range. These basses have a distinct engineering and performance pedigree - the roster includes such legends as Jason Newsted, formerly of Metallica, Ian Hill (Judas Priest), who has been playing Spector Bass guitars since 1985, and Rex Brown. From his earliest days with Pantera and later with Down, Rex has been a loyal Spector Bass player and supporter.
