Spector’s legacy began in a small woodshop in Brooklyn, NY, in 1976. Our founder, Stuart Spector, was driven by a conviction to build instruments that emphasized craftsmanship, playability, and heirloom-level quality. Today, we proudly carry on that tradition in every bass we create at our Custom Shop, now located just outside Woodstock, NY.
At the Spector Custom Shop, our mission is simple: to build your dream bass—one designed to last for generations. Using carefully selected tonewoods on our time-honored platform, our team is dedicated to delivering excellence in tone, feel, and aesthetics with every instrument.
Ready to bring your vision to life? Use the tools below to design your one-of-a-kind Spector! Choose from a wide selection of woods for tops, backs, and fingerboards. For electronics, we proudly stock EMG, Aguilar, and many other trusted brands, along with our own proprietary preamps that are available only through the Custom Shop. And when it comes to looks, you’ll find endless options for inlays, stains, and finishes to ensure your instrument is truly unique.
We know the possibilities can feel overwhelming, but that’s where the magic begins. Whether you’re working directly with us or through one of our trusted dealers, we’ll guide you every step of the way. Let us help turn your dream bass into reality!
