SPECTOR releases the Doug Wimbish Euro 4 Signature bass guitar

28-05-2025

MELVILLE, NY – Spector Bass unveils the Doug Wimbish Euro 4 Signature Model, an inspired evolution of Doug’s iconic 1987 NS-2 bass. Building on the momentum of the 2024 USA Signature Series, this new Euro model brings Wimbish’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, among which Tarja Turunen, Depeche Mode and The Rolling Stones.

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 that’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, Wimbish’s mastery of the bass is unparalleled.

“My Spector Euro 4 Signature Model is absolutely stunning – visually, sonically and with the feel of my original ’87 NS-2 Spector 4-String,” shared Wimbish. “The 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.”

Finished in Amber Stain, Black Stain (gloss), and a Limited Aged Nitro finish that authentically replicates the wear and feel of Doug’s original bass, the Euro 4 Signature is both a player’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 EQ—the heartbeat of Doug’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.
