REX BROWN IS ONE OF METAL'S MOST
INFLUENTIAL BASSISTS AND WE'RE GLAD THAT
HE'S ALSO A LOYAL SPECTOR® PLAYER. |

Rex
Brown started his career as a jazz bassist,
which is ironic because he is widely
considered to be one of the driving forces
behind groove metal.
Rex
joined Pantera in 1982 with his friend
guitarist Dimebag Darrell, drummer Vinnie
Paul and vocalist Terry Glaze. In 1990 with
the release of "Cowboys From Hell" Pantera
redefined the metal genre and Rex's driving
bass lines where at the heart of it all.
During down time Rex and the Abbott
Brothers, teamed up with country artist
David Allan Coe in a project called "Rebel
Meets Rebel" in 1999. The album was released
May 2, 2006 on Vinnie Paul's Big Vin Records
label. Rebel Meets Rebel disbanded in 2004.
After Pantera disbanded, Rex joined Down in
1999 after the departure of their former
bassist. On March 26, 2002, Down released
their second album called Down II: A Bustle
in Your Hedgerow with Brown on bass. |
Rex has
worked previously with Jerry Cantrell on
five tracks included on the album called
Boggy Depot as well as eleven tracks with
Crowbar on the album "Lifesblood for the
Downtrodden". He has also provided bass work
for Crowbar in 2004 and 2005 and to "Cavalera
Conspiracy" in 2008.
Rex revealed
his new project Arms of the Suns, a project
also featuring John Luke Hebert (of King
Diamond) on drums, Lance Harvill on vocals
and guitar, and Ben Bunker (of Gryn) on
guitar. The group has completed work on
thirteen tracks at Willie Nelson's
Pedernales Recording Studio in Austin,
produced and mixed by Terry Date. |
From his
earliest days with Pantera, Rex has been a
loyal
SPECTOR® Bass player
and supporter. He's rarely been
photographed with anything other than one of
his many
SPECTOR® basses.
We worked with Rex to develop a uniquely
shaped
SPECTOR® body, inspired
by his playing called the REX™.
Available in both 4 and 5-string
configurations, these basses are sonically
refined and geared for those bassists who
want to make thunderous noise when they
play.
Which is a perfectly fitting
tribute to Rex's influence in the metal
world of music.
