CloseA while back, our good friends at Spector USA gave us a call and were extremely excited about an arrival of Chestnut - a wood previously not offered by Spector USA. For bass guitars, Chestnut has become a tonewood surrounded by lore and legend. So when we got the opportunity to have first pick of the sets they had received, we were elated to snag some beautifully-figured sets for some very special builds.
This bass just exudes a richness that's hard to put into words. We knew that, for this bass, we wanted to go a little outside-the-box. First things first, we chose this beautifully-figured Chestnut top that gets more and more stunning the longer you look at it. To set it off even more, we chose an extremely dark Black Walnut Burl for the back. The back on this bass was actually supposed to be a wood set for a bass top, but we wanted this build to be stunning all the way around - not just in looks, but also in tone! Chestnut/Walnut is a wonderful combination that provides an extremely balanced response and a very quick and punchy attack. To let the natural allure of the woods of this bass to shine, we chose to have this one built in an oil finish, which feels fantastic to the touch and is extremely easy to maintain. This bass also features a 3pc Roasted Maple neck which is topped with a Music Loft Select Ebony fretboard adorned with Roasted Maple Crown Outlines inlays. The matching headstock features an Ebony Spector logo inlay and a matching Chestnut truss rod cover. This bass is loaded with EMG 40DCX pickups which feed into Spector's HAZ 9-volt preamp. Fitted with Hipshot UltraLite tuners, a lightweight aluminum bridge, Dunlop Flush Mount Strap Locks and Luminlay side dots, this bass has all the goodies to provide a lifetime of tonal bliss.
