Description

Unleash the depths of your musical prowess with the Spector Alex Webster Signature 5-String Bass, a masterpiece tailored for the modern metal bassist. Crafted with precision, this bass boasts a 3-piece North American maple through neck, ensuring unparalleled stability and comfort during those intense performances. The contoured body wings add to the seamless playability, allowing you to focus purely on your artistry. A striking ebony fingerboard, adorned with Alex Webster’s signature Blood Red Crown inlays, not only elevates the visual appeal but also provides a silky-smooth playing surface.
