One day, we received a call from our friends at Spector USA who were geeking out about a special shipment of wood - something they've never offered before. When they sent us the pictures of the first batch of tops, we immediately jumped on the most eye-catching sets available, as we always do. This bass is the first arrival to flaunt this beautiful and very uncommon wood - Chestnut. Out of all of the sets available, there were four that really made us go "Yes - that is IT!" This set was the very first of those to catch our eye. And the result is undeniable - this may be the clearest and most articulate Spector USA build we've had in our store. With a very quick note response, the Chestnut top really shines and retains the classic Spector tone while adding clarity and definition to accommodate a wide variety of playing styles and tonal applications.
