Spector just need to release a 'pearl' white (affordable) Euro 'Rachel Bolan' sig model now...... They look nice. Eyewatering prices. I think the main problem I see with these is that I've never - from a Spector perspective - seen him playing anything except the honeyburst(?) PJ and JJ models. He's not associated with anything that looks like that. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor J Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 His natural but odd looking 5 string JJ was trans blue but faded over the years. I think the Wimbish tag is just a means for them to charge a grand extra for the slimmer nut, to be honest. The Wimbish LX models are massively overpriced compared to a regular LX for what is basically the same bass aside from nut width. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bloke_zero Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 Didn't want to start another thread - looks like he's playing one of these here? Amber stain https://www.instagram.com/reel/C_QXCjsuSOJ/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolf Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 How can you tell that’s not his original Spector? Also, can someone point me in the direction of a video clip where Doug plays a more typical lower-register bass groove? Every clip I’ve seen seems to be this wild-effects solo stuff… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meterman Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 Tackhead? He wasn't doing too much freaky dusty-end stuff when I saw him playing with them. Them Spectors though. Crazy money for horrible looking basses 😂 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delberthot Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 Not sure if a video exists but Doug played on Mick Jagger's track "Sweet Thing" Now there's a low register groove 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
