Classic Spector Body Shape

The Euro 4LX's design draws on that symbol of Spector heritage - the NS-2. With its classic body shape, it provides a smooth and comfortable body that is a pleasure to play, with a double cutaway for easier access to the higher frets. Additional classic Spector appointments include four standard black control knobs, Spector headstock and black split pickups.

The Euro 4LX features a natural finish, showing off its lush flame maple grain. The particular finish is an ideal choice for gigging bassists, as it wont glare under stage lighting, and also looks good on photographs compared to a high-gloss finish.

Aguilar pickups

Not only does this bass look the part, it sounds good too. Equipped with a pair of Aguilar pickups that include Alnice V magnets. This well-balanced set of pickups deliver a flexible array of tones that can be used in any type of music. Achieve the thunderous lows of the neck pickup, or the midrange cut of the bridge or both. A versatile tone from an iconic bass!

Spector TonePump

The Spector TonePump Active Bass and Treble control is provided by means of 2 continuously variable controls. By turning the bass and treble knobs clockwise, the Spector TonePump will provide 18 dB boost in both the Bass and Treble range. The TonePump is a 9 vDC circuit and is Spector's most aggressive preamp on the market.

A Brief History

Spector have been making bass guitars for famous artists since 1977. Since then Stuart Spector's select team of designers has grown in stature, often in close collaboration with many world-famous performers. Gene Simmons (KISS) commissioned several Brooklyn Era SB-1\'99 basses from Stuart in the late 1970's. Some of the modifications included a special gloss black paint job with white binding along the sides of the body. Stuart shaved down the normally bulbous horns of the SB-1 into points. In 1982 Sting favoured Spector's NS-2, and relied upon it while out on the Police's Synchronicity Tour. The NS-2 was also the weapon of choice for Jack Bruce (Cream), who favoured the instrument during his 80s solo career.
