Doctor J Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 This is interesting. Kip Winger, former pouffy-haired 80's hard rocker has a Spector I've never seen before, can't find it on the Spector site either. No cease-and-desist issued yet? 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grahambythesea Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 Well I guess if you can afford it, they’ll make anything you want at the US workshop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skybone Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 (edited) Seen pics of it before, and can only assume that it's a one off specifically for Mr Winger. I like it, and I'm surprised that they "got away" with it. Edited March 8, 2023 by Skybone 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine the one off nature, with no selling to the masses , got them a pass. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waddo Soqable Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 If he's had it specially built as a one off for him, dont see there's anything anyone can do about it, good job too.. Good luck to him 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cato Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 Retrovibe got away with using a version of that shape for a few years befor Ric sent the 'cease and desist'. Rickenbacker don't have the right or the means to order the destruction of copies all they can do is get the lawyers to tell the offending manufacturer not to do it again. And since the departure of John Hall manufacturers such as Harley Benton seem to be testing the perimeter on what they can get away with again.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueMoon Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 Nice looking bass. Shame about the buckle rash that’ll be on the back after playing in that stage outfit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattbass6 Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 I’m so confused. I’m not a fan of Rick’s but I love Spector’s, yet I find myself drawn to this. FFS! 👀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_S Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 I've never liked Rics at all, and I generally much prefer the other style of Spector headstock, but I do quite like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cetera Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 This was custom built for Kip at the Euro factory (NOT US custom shop) as a STRICTLY one-off, organised by Stuart Spector before he sold the brand to Korg. This won't be produced for public sale. Sorry... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
