Spector NS-2 DW-5 Doug Wimbish Signature True Champagne
DESCRIPTION
For over 45 years, Spector Bass has blended artistry with precision, refining our expertise. Now, we proudly present our inaugural USA Custom Shop Signature Model for bass legend, Doug Wimbish.
Doug Wimbish, synonymous with bass excellence since 1987, transformed his instruments into extensions of his unique flair and vision. Acknowledging this, Spector's USA Custom Shop crafted two masterpieces: the DW-4 and DW-5.
These signature models intricately mirror Doug's iconic 1987 basses. From the neck contours to nut widths, each detail resonates with the original craftsmanship. Collaborating with EMG, the cus- tomized pickups capture the distinct Spector sound, a hallmark of Wimbish's monumental musical impact.
Blending tradition with innovation, these models empower artists to explore, echoing Wimbish's iconic journey. This collaboration symbolizes Spector's commitment to merging heritage with the future, preserving a timeless musical essence.
Available in both 4-string and 5-string versions, each boasts unique features. The DW-4 offers Amber Stain Gloss and Black Stain Gloss options, while the DW-5 showcases Dark Blue Stain Gloss and Faded Natural Gloss. To mark their launch, both feature Spector's exclusive True Champagne Gloss color in the initial production. Each purchase of True Champagne comes with a certificate of authenticity signed by Doug Wimbish.
SETUP & INSPECTED BY OUR TECH TEAM
All of our guitars come with a FREE professional setup to a comfortable action as specified by that instrument’s manufacturer. Our setups always include inspection of (and necessary adjustment to): action, intonation, tremolo angle, truss rod, frets, nut, bridge, and more. We can accommodate special setup requests - additional charges and/or shipping delays of 1-2 business days could occur.
INDIVIDUALLY PHOTOGRAPHED
After 15 years of innovation in our photography process, Ish Guitars has developed a way to get you the most accurate true-to-life color of every instrument we sell. We never embellish, oversaturate, or misrepresent our images, so that your buying experience can be as much like visiting our showroom as possible. Keep in mind that various computer screens can show colors a bit differently, so the color on your screen may not match the real thing perfectly no matter how hard we try. Also, unless otherwise noted, we individually list and photo every piece of gear that comes through our doors.
