Description

The Spector Euro 4 LE1979 electric bass is a striking homage to the iconic 1979 Spector NS-2, revered for its craftsmanship and tonal prowess. This limited edition bass guitar combines nostalgic design with modern enhancements, making it a coveted piece for discerning musicians. The Euro 4 LE1979 features a meticulously crafted body with walnut wings and a robust, 3-piece maple neck that runs through the entirety of the instrument.

A smooth 24-fret rosewood fingerboard and a brass nut enhance playability and sustain, making this bass a joy for both studio and stage performances.

This exceptional instrument is a testament to Spector's tradition of quality and innovation, blending the allure of classic design with contemporary features. With its exclusive features and limited availability, the Spector Euro 4 LE1979 is not just a bass; it's a collector's dream.
