The Bass That Started It All - Back for a Limited Time
A Faithful Return to the Original
The SB‑1 stays true to the details that defined Spector’s first bass — from its distinctive body shape and pickup placement to its vintage headstock construction.
This recreation honors the original vision behind the SB‑1, preserving the simplicity and character that laid the foundation for everything that followed.
Built by Hand in the Spector Custom Shop
Each SB‑1 is handcrafted in the Spector Custom Shop in New York, alongside the same NS basses we build every day.
Built with the same materials, processes, and attention to detail as today’s Custom Shop instruments, this limited run brings the SB‑1 into the present without losing its historic identity.
Classic Components, Timeless Design
At the heart of the SB‑1 is the same iconic formula that defined the original. A single DiMarzio Model One pickup delivers a bold, vintage‑inspired tone, while the original BadAss bridge provides rock‑solid stability and sustain.
Carefully Curated Woods
The SB‑1 is offered in four carefully selected wood options - walnut, maple, curly cherry, and rainbow alder — each bringing its own character to this historic design.
Available only in limited quantities, every SB‑1 showcases the natural beauty of its tonewood, making each instrument as striking to look at as it is to play.
