In 2016, Spector has a lot of new things planned. One of the rare opportunities that manufacturing musical instruments presents is the opportunity to produce a product that is not disposable – that is so durable that you can play it for all of your life, pass it on to your children and their children – and in an age of disposable products, that’s an incredible privilege to be able to work in that sort of realm.” “We are deeply honored to be participating in producing something like that. “Any instrument such as our curved body basses that you can produce with very slight variations except for improvements in performance for 40 years has to be a classic,” comments Spector. and with our offshore products.”Īnd though Spector notes the company has tweaked the instrument slightly over the years, he firmly believes in the continuity and legacy of the Spector bass. Through the years, we have tweaked every detail of the instrument, both on the U.S.A. That feature provides an incredibly comfortable instrument. “Thanks to a brilliant design and his first design for the music industry by my friend Ned Steinberger, back in 1977,” says Spector, “we were the first bass with a multi-curved ergonomically curved body that fits perfectly from the instrument body to the human torso for playing. Spector believes a few things set a Spector bass apart from any other bass on the market. Both models come equipped with a pickguard, a newly designed Spector split-coil pickup, and Spector exclusive TonePump Jr circuit. Adorned with a high gloss black finish, the CodaPJ 4 Pro features custom- wound Spector pickups. The CodaPJ 4 Pro was designed with working bassists in mind and offers a palette of both classic & modern tones.
The CodaP 4 Pros features a solid alder body with a figured maple top. “As a partner in product development we are thrilled to help bring these new products to market.” The new bass models premiered in early October of last year, the CodaP4 Pro and the CodaPJ 4 Pro. “Spector basses are built for a lifetime and deserving of the highest level of sales and marketing support dealers have come expect from Korg U.S.A.,” says Brian Piccolo, Korg’s director of guitar brands. In conjunction with the announcement of the news, Korg launched a creative rebranding project, which resulted in the release of several new Bass models, new variations, including new finishes to Spector’s Legend and Coda lines, as well as extended pickup options. Spector will continue to sell their U.S.A.-handmade instruments direct to dealers, which are made in their woodshop in Woodstock, New York.
We needed assistance with servicing a wider range of dealers with our imported instruments.” Spector imported instruments are made both in the Czech Republic and in South Korea, and these are the products that Korg will be distributing. It’s a tremendous boon for both companies in that Korg did not have a bass guitar line to compliment the Ashdown bass amps that they’re selling. Shortly after NAMM we worked out the parameters of an agreement to work together. “Late, last year, we started discussing this.
“We were looking for a new North American distributor,” Spector recalls. The company ended 2015 with a bang by way of their win-win marketing distribution partnership with Korg, so things are only looking up from here, according to Stuart Spector. It seems as if 2016 will be the year of the Spector Bass. With the release of new bass and guitar models, as well as a new partnership with Korg, Spector is soaring straight to the top. Stuart Spector, president of Spector Instruments, is excited about 2016. Musical Merchandise Review - January 2016 Fretted Spector BassĪll About That Bass, ‘Bout That (Spector) Bass
