Signature electric bass with full neck, EMG PJ pickup setup and Spector TonePump electronics, including gig bag
The Spector Euro 4 LX Doug Wimbish Solid Black Gloss was developed together with the Living Colour bassist, who as a big fan of Stuart Spector 's creations contributed significantly to their worldwide success. This is based Spector on the typical neck-through construction with three-piece, graphite-reinforced maple neck and corpus wings made of alder with maple top. In addition, an active EMG PJ pickup setup together with the active Spector TonePump electronics ensures an adequate fusion sound between blues, rock and funk. The massive Spector locking bridge and Gotoh mechanics complete the Spector Euro 4 Doug Wimbish Signature electric bass.

The continuous maple neck can easily be played on thanks to the flowing transition to the curved body.

The Spector Euro 4 LX Doug Wimbish is of course designed using the elaborate neck-through construction method. Accordingly, the four-string has a continuous, three-piece maple neck, which is reinforced by graphite inlays and carries a rosewood fingerboard. Glued to the neck, the body wings consist of alder with a maple top. The slim neck profile and the cuddly curvature of the body also ensure optimum playing characteristics.
The active PJ EMG pickup set, in combination with the active Spector TonePump electronics, delivers particularly versatile sounds.
