Spector Bass Buying Guide
In 1976, Stuart Spector first started building handmade basses out of his Brooklyn workshop. Not one to mimic conventional bass guitar designs, Stuart recruited fellow Brooklyn woodworker Ned Steinberger to help design instruments made especially for modern, high-performance bassists. Their work resulted in the Spector NS-1, which took the bass world by storm upon its release in 1977.
In the decades since, Spector has been improving upon that now-legendary bass design, gaining the support of bassists from Jason Newsted to Michael Anthony. From their premium Euro Series to the budget-friendly Performer Series, there's a Spector bass for every player. Check out our buying guide and find yours!

Spector Euro Series
Handcrafted in the Czech Republic, Spector's Euro Series offers bassists world-class performance and tone. Dynamic pickup sets from Bartolini, Aguilar, and EMG create powerful tonal foundations, while on-board active tone circuits like the Spector TonePump provide more than enough flexibility to sound exactly how you want to sound. Carved and constructed from the finest tonewoods that the United States and Europe have to offer, these beautiful basses sound as fantastic as they look.
Spector Legend Series
The Legend Series offers the craftsmanship and sound that put Spector's name on the map -- at prices that are a little easier on the wallet. No matter the gig, these basses will nail any tone, thanks to pickup sets from manufacturers like Bartolini and Aguilar. Beef up your tone even further with TonePump Jr. active electronics for an extra 14 dB of gain. Fantastic looks, superb tones, and great prices -- what more could you ask for?
