    Question: Who plays Spector Basses?
    Spector Basses have a range of Artist models including basses designed with Ian Hill (Judas Priest), Doug Wimbish, Rachel Bolan and Alex Webster.
    Question: Are Spector basses active?
    Part of the signature sound of Spector Basses is the active preamp integrated in the tone circuit. This gives these basses their trademark growl. The USA Series use the fames HAZ preamp whereas the Euro and Legend Series use the Czech-made TonePump preamp. Some Spector basses use active EMG pickups but it’s quite common for them to have passive pickups such as Bartolinis.
    Question: Where are Spector Basses from?
    Spector Basses were formed in Brooklyn and are now based up-state in Woodstock. Only the USA Series is made there, however. The Euro Series is made in the Czech Republic, the Legend Series is made in Korea and the Performer Series is made in Indonesia. Historic Spector models have also been made in Singapore and China and are equivalent in quality to today’s Legend and Performer Series.
