Spector Releases Doug Wimbish Euro 4 Signature Bass

The new Euro model brings Wimbishโ€™s unmistakable tone, style, and legacy to an even wider audience

Spector Bass unveils the Doug Wimbish Euro 4 Signature Model, an inspired evolution of Dougโ€™s iconic 1987 NS-2 bass. Building on the momentum of the 2024 USA Signature Series, this new Euro model brings Wimbishโ€™s unmistakable tone, style, and legacy to an even wider audience. As bassist for the legendary rap label Sugarhill Records backing Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five to the pioneering Living Colour, Wimbish has lent his innovative and creative bass grooves and sounds to a roster of world-renowned musicians.

Meticulously designed in close partnership with Doug Wimbish, the Euro4 DW features a signature slim neck profile and narrow nut width to offer unmatched speed and comfort. As well as custom-voiced EMG pickups, developed alongside Doug himself, delivering that unmistakable tone thatโ€™s powered countless records, tours, and sessions. Considered a pioneer in Hip-Hop bass playing and in the use of bass effects, alternate tunings and extended hand techniques, Wimbishโ€™s mastery of the bass is unparalleled.

โ€œMy Spector Euro 4 Signature Model is absolutely stunning – visually, sonically and with the feel of my original ’87 NS-2 Spector 4-String,โ€ shared Wimbish. โ€œThe stars aligned on this new model – everything came together. I knew instantly when I played the first note on this model that we had a winner! I couldn’t be happier – what a wonderful instrument.โ€ 

Finished in Amber Stain, Black Stain (gloss), and a Limited Aged Nitro finish that authentically replicates the wear and feel of Dougโ€™s original bass, the Euro 4 Signature is both a playerโ€™s tool and a piece of history. A figured maple top, classic maple body wings, and a rosewood fingerboard with mother-of-pearl crown inlays complete the look. Gold Spector hardware adds a touch of elegance, while the Spector Legacy Preamp delivers a powerful, 1980s-inspired 2-band EQโ€”the heartbeat of Dougโ€™s signature sound.

Now available worldwide from Spector Dealers, the Amber Gloss and Black Gloss is $3,499.99, and the Amber aged $3,699.99.
