Many bass players simply prefer the traditional feel of an instrument with a bolt-on neck. On the other side of this debate is the through-neck bass, of which Spector is one of the most respected and prolific purveyors. Indeed, Spector Euro LX series basses have long been coveted for their sleek, curvaceous body shape, unmatched playability, and impeccable tone, offering discerning bassists a boutique level of style, quality, and appointments at production prices. Now, for all you bolt-on purists, we’re excited to present Spector’s first-ever LX bolt-on electric bass guitar. The Spector Euro LX Bolt-On features a host of cool upgrades, including high-grade flame maple tops, an array of eye-popping finishes, and the company’s Darkglass-designed Legacy preamp. Available in 4- and 5-string versions, the Spector Euro LX Bolt-On packs a potent combo of active EMG PJ pickups and the Legacy preamp to serve up a vast arsenal of sensational (and endlessly tweakable) tone. Grab the bass you’ve been waiting for at Sweetwater today!
Spector’s ongoing collaboration with Darkglass Electronics has yielded limited-edition bundles that have caught the interest of bassists seeking a professional-grade bass that makes a sonic statement. Now, the Spector Legacy preamp makes the partnership official. Designed by Darkglass, the Legacy preamp is an absolute tone beast that pumps out impossibly fat low end and crisp mid/high growl — a potent sonic elixir with the power to punch through thick arrangements and hold its own in any mix. Fed from the instrument’s heavily shielded EMG PJ pickup set, these active electronics deliver a strong, clean output signal that can drive long cable runs and complex processing chains without a hint of noise.
If you’ve always craved a Spector NS bass, but found them to be out of your budget, you’ll dig the Euro series. These basses are production versions of those coveted instruments, with the same sleek carved bodies as their US-made cousins. Euro series basses are handcrafted in the Czech Republic using top-shelf tonewoods from the United States and Europe. You’ll love the natural resonance, amazing tone, and off-the-charts playability of these fine instruments, which now give you a choice of neck-through and bolt-on designs with premium pickups and Spector’s new Legacy preamp designed in collaboration with Darkglass Electronics. Sweetwater is delighted to bring you Spector’s outstanding Euro series basses, which continue Stuart Spector’s decades-long tradition of innovation.
