  • Doug Wimbish, synonymous with bass excellence since 1987, transformed his instruments into extensions of his unique flair and vision. Acknowledging this, Spector's USA Custom Shop crafted two masterpieces: the DW-4 and DW-5.
    These signature models intricately mirror Doug's iconic 1987 basses. From the neck contours to nut widths, each detail resonates with the original craftsmanship. Collaborating with EMG, the customized pickups capture the distinct Spector sound, a hallmark of Wimbish's monumental musical impact.
    *In celebration of the launch we are releasing a limited edition , one-time-only, DW-4 and DW-5 in a "True Champagne" gloss finish. Once these are gone they are gone!

    Doug Wimbish is one of my biggest idols on bass. I never tried to sound like him, his sound and playing is so original, I would just sound like a cheap rip off. But his playing is so inspiring to me, simply ignoring the limitations of a typical bass line and what type of effects you can put on bass ... and *still* support the song. But while he can create a whole 5 dish menu with it, with my limited musicality just a splash of that sauce spices my bass lines up substantially ... Thanks Doug!

    Love the faded out glass colour on the 5-string, nod to Doug's 5 which was originally blue (can still some of the blue on the back of it). I first saw him play in Glasgow, Scotland in 89 with Tackhead (RIP Keith) through 2 x Trace Elliot each stacks with 1x15, 4x10 and a treble pack in a 300 person venue, gigs were louder then :) . Subsequently saw him play with Tackhead again and then Living Colour many times afterwards. Doug's has been an inspiration all these years, great to see this US bass range.

    So what is so special about the neck radius and headstock? the neck fretboard has a special contour and radius?

    • @OfficialSpector
      @OfficialSpector  3 місяці тому

      The neck on both the 4 and 5-string is shaved way down to make it the thinnest neck on any Spector. The nut width is also narrower than our other models.

    Haven't had opportunity to try one. The ones I get come from Europe or Asia. I have seen on the #Spector website, 1 I want really bad. However it's very expensive. Costing over 4 Times more than Brooklyn. It will be mine one day. Also, USA Series will make me a signature Bass eventually I think. I watched a Virtual Tour of the shop here on UA-cam and was very impressed. They do much by hand. Hard working Blue Collar Company that does outstanding work and business. 1 of the American things I Trust completely. Spector is one of the best Teammates I have. 🎛
