Spector introduces Doug Wimbish Signature Series basses

In its nearly 50-year history, the iconic Spector NS bass has been played by legendary bassists on countless recordings and stages. In the brand’s storied history, no bassist is as closely associated with Spector as Doug Wimbish. After receiving his first Spector NS basses in 1987, Doug used these instruments on legendary recordings and performances with artists such as Living Colour, Mick Jagger, Jeff Beck, Annie Lennox, Seal, Depeche Mode, Lee “Scratch” Perry, Madonna and many, many others.

Now, Spector’s USA Custom Shop is proud to introduce the Doug Wimbish USA Signature Series. The collection includes a four-string model, the DW-4, and a five-string model, the DW-5. Each model has been carefully specified to match the unique characteristics of Doug’s vintage instruments, including unique neck carvings, nut widths, pickup positions, and even custom-wound EMG pickups that have been matched alongside the pickups in Doug’s 1987 Spector instruments.

“Spector took the time to get every little nuance right, and to me that means dedication and thoughtfulness to know, ‘I want to get it right,’ and you’ve done that. I can pick up these instruments for the first time and play them like I’ve had them for years.”

Available in 4- and 5-string versions, each model offers unique features and finish options. The DW-4 is available in Amber Stain Gloss and Black Stain Gloss, while the DW-5 is available in Dark Blue Stain Gloss and Faded Natural Gloss. Each purchase includes a Certificate of Authenticity signed by Doug Wimbish.
