BACK TO THE 80's! |
|
|
Skinny Ties, Big Hair, Bigger Bands, and Spector Basses were in the hands of some of the biggest names of the day! A lot of today's bands were influenced by the best of the bands, and many of them are still around and still playing their Spectors! Join us in our little tribute to some of our favorite folks playing our basses "Back in the Day". As we always say, it's the players that make this all worthwhile.
Contact us with any names of 80's Spector players we may have overlooked. For more images of Artists around the world playing our instruments, please visit our Artists Pages!. |
