cetera Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Got this through from Spector....Enjoy! This is to let all our friends have a preview of the exciting new instruments that we are debuting next week at the NAMM show in Ahaheim California. Spector has just debuted the Doug Wimbish Signature Model Euro Series Bass. The model renews a relationship between Doug and Spector that stretches back over 20 years of recording and touring. Doug has toured and recorded with numerous artists including Living Color, Mick Jagger, Carly Simon, Keb Mo, Tackhead Measurements for the neck were taken directly from Doug's late 1980's USA NS-2 bass. This neck was originally custom made to a narrower (1.5") nut width for Doug and the body was carved out of highly figured quilted maple. Highlights of the instrument include: Graphite reinforced 3 ply USA Rock Maple neck 24 fret Rosewood fingerboard with Mother of Pearl Spector inlays Gold plated hardware, Spector locking bridge, Schaller tuners and straplocks. Body wings laminated of Alder with a 4A Quilted Maple top EMG active P & J pickups Spector Tone Pump TM active EQ circuit High gloss amber finish Limited Lifetime Warranty to the original owner This model is also available as a hand crafted USA instrument. USA MSRP:$3699 Spector is now offering a signature bass from Ian Hill of Judas Priest. This Euro Series bass was developed with measurements taken directly from Ian's mid 1980's USA NS-2 bass. This somewhat thinner neck is graphite reinforced 3 ply Rock Maple with a 24 fret rosewood fretboard and Mother of Pearl inlays. 34" scale length. Gold Plated Hardware includes the Spector locking bridge and Schaller tuners and straplocks. The fully carved body is made up of alder with a soft maple top finished in solid high gloss black. Electronics include active EMG P & J pickups and the Spector TonePumpTM EQ circuit. The original owner is protected with a Limited Lifetime Warranty USA MSRP: $2699 Spector Basses is now offering for the first time a short scale USA bolt on neck bass. Known familiarly as "Shorty" the bass utilizes a 30 3/8" scale length 22 fret neck. The neck features a pau ferro fretboard on a 3 ply graphite reinforced hard maple neck. The original versions of this bass were built for Garry Tallent who has been using them for years on tour with Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band. The body is the original Spector ergonomically carved shape with a light weight mahogany core. It is available with a wide range of figured maple and exotic wood tops and stain colors. All hardware is black plated and the electronics consist of EMG pickups and an Aguilar OBP-3 active tone circuit. USA MSRP including hardshell case: $3249 Spector announces a new option of EMG MM4 and MM5 active pickups on both USA neck thru and bolt on neck models. These wide aperture pickups sense a longer area of the string and deliver a very wide range of fundamental and overtone signals. These pickups will primarily be place in the bridge position of the Spector basses and matched with a DC pickup in the neck position. The upcharge for this option is $200 on any of the standard model Spector handmade USA instruments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warwickhunt Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 I seriously hope those $$$$ prices aren't going to convert directly to ££££ as they have been known to do with Fender. If so I may have seriously misjudged the price and timing behind the sale of my Euro 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
