Couldn’t pick a better spokesman than Ian. Absolutely a class act.
In every sense of the word
Couldn't agree more!! Solid solid Bassist...
Ian knows the intricacies of bass for sure, and how to explain it.
Ian is the coolest guy ever. His enthusiasm is infectious. And of course, he's an amazing bassist.
Props to Spector for allowing their artists the freedom to do what they do best! Too bad more companies don't do this.
Thanks for checking out the collection 🤘
All those basses are a work of art. This is what companies need to do more of. Take chances, take risk.
Thank you for the kind words and checking out the collection! It was a labor of love and we couldn't be more pleased 🤘
Extra props for using the wood from a decommisioned watertower instead of just wasting it.
💯 The combination of it being Redwood and coming from atop an NYC building is a super inspiring and cool story.
Round of applause to the entire team. Each bass is a work-of-art and it brings me joy knowing this kind of creativity is being supported.
So glad you're enjoying the collection 🤘
That pink bass is a dream! Spector playability with vintage P-Bass tones and tons of mojo! 💓
Agreed! 🤜🤛
And it still sounds like a more modern Spector.
@@GingerBass Really cool bass. There's a little bit more of a "woody" character than you might expect from a Spector but like you said, it still has that undeniable Spector tone.
Every single one of these is dripping with style, personality, and most of all, love. Undeniably Spector. They're all beautiful and I hope the builders are incredibly proud! Basses built for life!
🤘
Round of applause for the makers, they all sound different and the look of each is inspired, great video
Thank you @kellyvibert7861 🤘
These basses are a dream!
So great working with you on this!
For me the walnut fretless is the No 1 from this collection, but honestly, Spector is maybe the last boutique bass maker from the good old late 70's - 80's good wood era, who still did not exhausted so far. Their ideas and approaches are both eye catching as a custom shop, but still have the playable sound as well.
The Walnut is a stunner for sure. Thanks for tuning in🤘
@@OfficialSpector My all time favourite Spectors are the two cocobolo-walnut sandwitch basses, the NS5 XL five stringer and the NS2. As far as I know, only these two pieces built ever, I mean, a one and only NS5 with the two EMG hb pickups and the single NS2 with the regular EMG PJ set. These two are my dream basses
These are all INCREDIBLE!! Such a great job Spector team! And shoutout to Spector for allowing the team to come up with their own designs, what a way to show your appreciation to your team! Luv it guys!! The tone of Robs tho that B😍
🙏 - Rob's in an absolute tone-beast of a bass
The workmanship on these basses is absolutely stunning. Amazing instruments, I totally love them all :-)
Thank you for your checking out the collection 🤘
@@OfficialSpector Thank you for creating such beautiful basses.
@@Belman5 Anytime 😉
Korg and Spector team are showing how to keep a legacy alive, congrats !
Honoring the past is the future 🤘
Ian is the best for this job. He is so likeable and such a good musician as well. Beautiful basses as well!
💯 Thanks for checking out the collection🤘
Good job Boys!!
Thanks Rex 🤘
IAAAAAN!!!!!!
The first Bass I purchased for myself was a Spector, beautiful Bass, and that pink bass is stunning!!!
🤘
Gorgeous ❤❤❤❤
🤘
Ian is the best 🎉
💯
Ian allison is my hero
To us all my friend!
@@OfficialSpector he must be protected at all cost.
@@stefanpride9442 🤣
That 34" scale 5 in Buckeye is awesome.
Awesome variety and great input from Mr Allison as ever. But oh..., that Outdoors water tower number. Sweet
Right! Picture the past life of that exact piece of Redwood, living atop a NYC skyscraper. Pretty cool!
WOW!!! Spector, well done!!!!
🤘
Adam's black/gold sparkle 'Catalogue Bass' is the winner for me 👌
Hard to top that 🤌
There is some amazing stuff there, but that last bass gave me whiplash. That is the definition of badass!
Thank you @bernieconatser1028 🤘
Ian you are a gem. No better person to give us the nuances of each of those beautiful basses. Excellent as always.
I WANT YOUR JOB!! I WANT YOOUR JOB!! Great review and Sir you are one heck of a great bassist!!
Agreed!
I waited for this video, incredible!
Nice! Which one is your favorite?
They’re all so sweet, but wil’s one is so beautiful.
@@bryce4503 Hard to disagree with that!
I love al more classic style Spectors. I had a Kramer one once from the late eighties.
That pink one with the single p-pickup! Wow!! She’s stunning and has all the tone I’d need.
And, because she has no frills whatsoever, she just shows all the beautiful and practical aspects of the original design.
Beauty!
🖖
That's a real stunner. Simple yet so right 🤘
Incredible!! 🥰
Great to have you onboard for this collection!
Amazing collection!!
Especially the one with the triple Lollars 😅
I don’t even play bass and I want these. That charcoal gray metallic bass is 🔥🔥🔥
Wow! Now that is awesome 🤘
Spector are at the top of the game! Always making the greatest basses!
Super kind! Thanks for checking us out 🤜🤛
@@OfficialSpector Spector basses for life! 🤘🏻
Wow this is incredible! Ian is such a good guy to have explaining. Not only a solid bassist, he’s a great communicator and ahem bass collector! He knows his gear, a gear head for sure… but he pays attention to detail.
Total pro and such an awesome human 🤘
What a gorgeous collection. Amazing basses. The video work is great too, great production values and Ian Allison is the perfect presenter.
Much appreciated! 🤘
NS2 by Jessie & Tim is my favorite, probably because of Ian's slapping part. I love how it sounds! But also, the NS5 by Tailor, with the kill switch, could be super fun to play along with all my synth pedals. Super cool collection!
The pink NS-2 and the orange NS-2 were my favorites. But Taylor's bass is insane. So maybe that's my favorite. I don't know, they were all so beautiful and unqie.
On sound, looks or both?
@@OfficialSpector the pink one was probably my favorite sonically. I did like some of the basses Ian called "rock machines" though.
@@rome8180 Right on! That pink one is special.
So awesome!!! You guys at Spector topped yourselves again! This is a great showreel of your work!
And everyone who doesn´t want a Spector Bass after watching this video must be a keyboarder 😂
Thank you for this cool presentation!
Amazing and thank you! (keyboarder 🤣🤣🤣)
@@OfficialSpector 1976 when Spector Basses was estimated, I started learning to play Bass … a 15 year old dreamer … and now since two years I own a NS 5 and I am looking forward to my NS 2 Fretless I have ordered recently!!!
@@wolfgangsaller5843 That's a great story, thanks for sharing! An NS-2 Fretless, awesome! Was that before or after you saw this video 🤣
Last year and I am waiting impatiently 😉 like being 15 again 😂
God I love spector.
You can say that again 😂
Oh my...the low B at 25:00 gave me total bass face when I heard that punch.
Appropriate reaction 🤣
That redwood bass is the bass of basses. master of masters.
Special bass for sure 🤘
A beautiful collection of basses. incredible craftsmanship, i love the fact thwy let their tean do this
🤘
Gorgeous instruments - Great job Guys!!!!
Thanks so much!
Love the NS 5 by Colin and Drew. I would buy. 11:18 sound amazing
They are available 😉
I’m obsessed with Adam’s bass. God I wish I had the almost $9k this thing costs
That NS-2 by Fen is my definite favourite!.
Absolute stunner
That WIDE spacing one...❤
🤘
Show the builders!
Check the bottom of this page to see (most of) the team. www.spectorbass.com/usa-custom-shop/ We've been busy building basses and the site is overdue for an update! (can you blame us)
Man those Aguilar dcbs have such a distinct tone. My Warwick has them and it sounds almost exactly the same
Those basses sounds really great. The B string of the 5 string is amazing.
Thank you!
I have a Spector NS-95 from the mid 90s. Not the top of the line Spec but still beautiful,plays a dream and sounds like a Spector.
Yes please regarding the water tower bass.
Such a cool story!
@@OfficialSpector 👍
Great basses,but that orange bass is my favourite
Oh my God.. again? Super Basses from Spector
🤘
Awesome video, Ian smashes it. Just feel a bit sorry for that piece of flamed maple that ended up on that second bass - to think it could have ended up on a really nice instrument...
Ian is the best! Totally hear that. Nothing better than a flame top in all its glory.
That pink reverse P 😍
So simple yet so good 🤌
The ‘John’ three pickup bass is a bit like a stratocaster in bass range with the tones you get combining bridge or neck pickups the middle
You got it 🤘
7:00 Okay you have my attention fully. Just make that.
"Rock n' Roll Machine"
Dude! Spector X is X-tra sick!
Holy damn, the NS5 Colin and Taylor models... Immediate bassface on first pick.
🤣🤣🤣
Wish they would make more Kip Winger basses.
I kick myself for not taking a chance on playing a Spector 8 years ago when i had a chance to hookup with your company..
Spector gives me a mix of a jazz mixed with Warwick combined together....
When the time is right my friend 🤘
🎯
Billy 🤘
every bass I saw I was like "that's my fav" and then the next one came and I was like "oh wait"
💯Same
I like Ian's the best :)
Valid 🙃
@@OfficialSpector its gorgeous! But so are all Spectors!
@@grooveholmes79 You've got a point! Ian's bass is special though. If you haven't already check out this beautiful recording of Ian playing his bass for the first time.
ruclips.net/video/Cl8Ivdks7EM/видео.html
@@OfficialSpector thanks! Haven't seen this. I love the spalted maple but it still has the flame it. Beautiful piece of wood.
@@grooveholmes79 Totally! That top is second to none.
Love all of them, especially Fen's, Adam's and John's. Can anyone help me finding out, what's that song he played at around 14:04 to 14:12? I know it, but can't seem to get the title.
💯 that tune is "The less I know the better" by Tame Impala
Thanks a lot!
Great basses!Will we ever see a USA custom shop multiscale Spector?)
Something we do get asked for. We're not there just yet but certainly worth considering!
14:30 middle is nice
very🤘
Jeff bass is the best for me
It's like children, we can't a pick favorite. But if we had to choose...😉
ooooh baby :0
I like it like that
Lots of really great work and cool designs here! As an archtop guy though, my eye was immediately drawn to the D'Angelico hanging on the wall. What's the story on that one?
Good eye! There is a story with that one. You'll have to hit up The Guitar Shop NYC - theguitarshopnyc.com/ for the full download.
Whenever you need to market a bass or gear or need a session bassist...call Ian...
All the basses covered.. pun intended 🤣
The last bass should be called Living Color !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Right! Such energy
Im drawing a blank - what is that melody Ian plays at 14:05?
It's from the tune "The Less I Know the Better" by Tame Impala
That passive pink beauty.... 🤤
Right?!
These basses are ten years of my salary here in Brazil🤕
Maybe in my next life 😮💨
Brazil we see you!!
Good god I want the Little Prince bass please....
It can be yours😉
I am currently working on getting a red Euro 4 Classic before anything😂😂.
@@josephwalton487 Solid choice!
All of the basses seem amazing, but I'd take Taylor's bass if I had to choose! I don't even like the color, but that bass is so killer that I wouldn't care! lol
Beast mode 🤘
Name of the song at 14:00?
The less I know the better by Tame Impala
17:51 sheesh
right!
Are not the 5 string a 35" scale?
Colin’s Buckeye Burl design is a 34”. The other 5-strings are 35”.
@@OfficialSpector appreciated
That fretless please
Not only do Scott and Ian look so much alike, but they have the exact same bass face. Wild.
Bass brothers separated at birth?
Sadly all out of my price range😮
One can dream 😉. But seriously thanks for checking out the collection 🤘
@@OfficialSpector Well I have the Pulse II , I kind of like to see the Euro Bolt models ( Hard to find one in person)
@@michaelblaney4461 Pulse IIs are great! which finish did you go with?
@@OfficialSpector The Purple one , the EMGs and preamp do sound great.
@@michaelblaney4461 Love the Ultra Violet!
KORG has made changes that have opened the door to almost anything . Better than the old regime .
Keeping the legacy alive 🤘
I wasn't so sure about the new MN flag until now.
Keen observation 😉
Jerry Seinfeld: "Any guy who wears a cap indoors... Nine times out of ten... Plugs."
10:20 no to the headstock
The shape or the Walnut?
@@OfficialSpector Just seems like the shape is a compromise, or not quite right
Wow you have one; good for you. Cool looking guitars.
But a one off guitar/bass, That common folk can't get one.
This brings me to the conclusion.
That is.
So what? Who cares? And Why should I really give a Rat's A$$,
For/about a guitar/guitars or bass that is unobtainable to myself or the masses ?
I really dislike spalted and burled wood on musical instruments. It looks diseased, and the grain patterns do not lend themselves to transmission of resonance. If I'm going to pay that much money for a custom instrument, it should have perfectly straight, quartersawn grain oriented for maximum resonance, not for visual interest.
Totally hear where you're coming from. That's the beauty of the custom shop, you design what you want! Thanks for checking out the collection 🤘
I'm sorry you were conned into believing wood has any effect on the sound of an instrument. A delusion that's thankfully disappearing fast
@@ileutur6863 It's good to have different perspectives and opinions on this topic. However, saying one of the main ingredients such as the body wood and or neck billet has no effect on the sound is factually untrue.
You da man
