Launched exclusively this year to celebrate Spector’s 40th year of bass building, the four-string 1977 bass is modelled on the company’s first ever model developed in 1977. In a throwback to its predecessor, the new 1977 bass boasts a number of original features that have since seen Spector become a legendary name among bass players.
It offers the same neck-thru construction and body shape crafted from fully carved solid American walnut with a light centre band as seen on the original 40 years ago. A three-piece maple neck runs through the entire length of the instrument with a 24 fret rosewood fingerboard inlaid with fret markers measured to exact dimensions of those featured on the first bass.
Electronics inlcude the same DiMarzio P pickup used originally combined with the updated Tone Pump active tone circuit now synonymous with modern Spector basses. Additional updated elements include a lightweight zinc brass alloy Spector bridge.
The Euro4LE 1977 retails for £2,450 and is available to order from Barnes & Mullins.
