USA SERIES BASS GUITARS

Our USA SERIES BASSES™ are often referred to as "custom shop" basses because they are handcrafted-to-order. And 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. So 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.

EUROPE SERIES BASS GUITARS

Because there is such high demand for quality constructed instruments with an affordable price entry point; we developed our EUROPE SERIES BASSES™. Each of these basses is 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™models with string arrangements ranging from 4-strings to 6-strings. Popular among professional musicians and session players, these basses can be seen on stage and in the studio in every genre of music. Our Europe Series™ Neck-Thru Models have the same USA Rock Maple Necks as our USA Series™ Models!

PROFESSIONAL SERIES BASS GUITARS

We developed the 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. More PROFESSIONAL SERIES™ SPECTOR® Basses and Guitars have been sold than any other line. 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.

PERFORMER BY SPECTOR®

The PERFORMER by SPECTOR® models were designed with the goal of offering a superior-quality entry-level bass that would be suitable for any setting. From the music classroom to the sanctuary of churches and in the recording studio to the stage, the PERFORMER by SPECTOR® bass is an affordable alternative to the ubiquitous clones that most musicians associate with entry-level guitars. This bass is a breath of fresh air for those looking to play an instrument that offers that special set of qualities that can best be defined by a single word, "SPECTOR®".

For over three decades Master Luthier Stuart Spector and his small dedicated group of instrument craftsmen have quietly made some of the finest electric guitars and electric basses in the world.

SPECTOR® has always been known for a series of attributes we call U3™ or U-Cubed™. We strive to design and build uniquely functional and playable instruments for all level of players.
