Spector Bass : Uncompromising Quality, Unparalleled Versatility, Unbelievable Sound
For nearly 40 years Master Luthier Stuart Spector and his small group of dedicated artisan craftsmen have quietly made some of the finest electric basses in the world.  Never satisfied with the accomplishments of yesterday; Stuart is constantly pushing new boundaries and exploring new vistas where his experience and skill can bring extraordinary new tonal possibilities to the electric bass. Through the years Spector® has brought numerous design and technical innovations to the marketplace, forever changing the role of the electric bass in music. 
Spector® makes a wide range of electric basses for every level of player; from beginners to seasoned professionals.  With an emphasis on tone, playability and ergonomics, Spector® basses can be found in every genre of popular music and are the preferred choice of over 700 endorsed professional musicians. 
There are 6 model lines or series that Spector® produces.  They are:
Spector® Signature Artists are musicians who have shown an aptitude for innovation and technical prowess.  They are industry legends such as Ian Hill (Judas Priest) and Garry Tallent (The E-Street Band).  They are virtuoso musicians who have brought a new way of looking at the bass guitar such as Doug Wimbish (Living Colour), Alex Webster (Cannibal Corpse), and Quintin Berry (Solo Artist).  They are chart-topping hit-makers who have dominated their genre of music such as Rex Brown (Pantera, Down, Kill Devil Hill) and Mike Kroeger (Nickelback).

A some point in each of their illustrious careers they approached Stuart Spector about a "customized" bass design, uniquely built to meet their particular playing styles.  In each instance Stuart delivered an instrument that would become synonymous with their playing style and career, and now these uniquely customized designs can be yours. 
Our SPECIAL EDITION SERIES BASSES™ represent a new concept for our hand-made Workshop and precision crafted Czech Republic instruments; limited runs with a new serial number sequence specific to the number of instruments available in their production run. We've done limited run editions before but never broke the normal sequence of model serial numbers.  These basses, often limited to runs of less than 10, represent the very best examples of the quality and tone Spector® has become known for.
HAND-MADE IN THE FAMOUS SPECTOR NEW YORK WORKSHOP
Our USA SERIES BASSES™ are often referred to as "custom shop" basses because they are handcrafted-to-order.  Although many guitar makers are acting as if this is a new concept; this is nothing different than what Spector® has done for the past 35+ years. 

Each USA SERIES BASS™ is hand-made in our Woodstock, NY Workshop by craftsmen who have dedicated their lives to the mastery of fine instrument building.  Before it was fashionable to offer models from a "custom shop" or "private stock", Spector® was laying the groundwork for what many other manufacturers have just recently learned; handmade quality is king.
PRECISION MADE IN THE CZECH REPUBLIC - AVAILABLE WORLD-WIDE
Each of these basses is hand-crafted by our staff of highly skilled instrument builders in our Czech Republic factory.  The EUROPE SERIES BASSES™ offer a wide assortment of exotic tone woods and finishes in both Bolt-On and Neck-Thru NS-Body™ designs with string arrangements ranging from 4 to 6-strings.  Designed as a more affordable alternative to our hand-made USA models, these basses can be seen on stage and in the studio in every genre of music. 
PROFESSIONAL LEVEL INSTRUMENTS MADE FOR THE BUDGET CONSCIOUS MUSICIAN
We developed the KOREAN PROFESSIONAL SERIES™ line of basses and guitars to answer the growing demand for exceptional quality instruments at a price point that the beginner could afford. 

The immediate reception by players both amateur and professional was overwhelmingly positive.  From major headlining bands to small church groups and a vast numbers of non-pro recreational players; these instruments can be seen anywhere around the world where music is being made.
ENTRY LEVEL INSTRUMENTS DESIGNED FOR QUALITY, TONE & VALUE
Made in Indonesia to Spector's exacting standards, the PERFORMER BY SPECTOR® bass series offer an affordable avenue to the outstanding tonal qualities and playability that Spector® is renown for.  Designed for the budget minded-bassist, these basses are a great solution for beginners and students.
