Spector Debuts 30th Anniversary NS-230 "Bass Bass"

Spector celebrates the 30th anniversary of the renowned Spector NS style
bass. The original contoured ergonomic bass was designed for Spector by
award winning designer Ned Steinberger.

The now historic NS bass was the first Steinberger musical instrument
design and was produced by Spector in the Brooklyn workshop starting in
1977.

This special very limited edition NS-230 anniversary bass features museum
quality inlays on the neck of 5 different species of bass. The inlays were
designed and cut by Larry Robinson, author of "The Art of Inlay". Larry's
credits include the number 1,000,000th C.F. Martin guitar.
Stuart Spector says, "As my hobby is fly fishing I wanted to have the
chance to feature on this special bass some of the fish that I have had so
much fun pursuing in my spare time."

These instruments will only be built to order and orders will only be
accepted for one calendar year starting with its debut date of November 24,
2007. Customers will be able to choose from the finest pieces of Spector's
stock of rare woods for building these instruments.

MSRP for the NS-230 bass is $15,000.

 

PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE JANUARY 2008   WOODSTOCK NY Spector Offers Special Limited Edition Water Cured Redwood Burl Basses Stuart Spector Designs Ltd is offering a very special limited edition of handmade Spector basses. These basses are handcrafted in the Spector workshop near Woodstock NY and will be limited to an edition of 24 pcs.  The body wings on these neck thru body basses are carved from rare water cured redwood burl. This wood is derived from the stumps of redwood trees that were cut down 100 years ago in northern California. These stumps were completely submerged in rivers for the last century and have recently been salvaged and obtained by Spector. The flow of the river water for such an extended period deposited minerals that have hardened the wood and deepened the color to a rich chocolate brown. In addition to this all the sugars have been washed out of the wood enabling drying to be done in the same fashion as the traditional preparation of violin woods. Each instrument will be accompanied by a special certificate signed by Stuart Spector which explains the special nature of the bass and lists it's place in the limited edition. The bass requires our clear high gloss finish (900.00 list), and will deliver 4-6 months from month of order.
