Rather than reimagining a well-known stage staple, Spector went digging into the vault. The result is the Doug Wimbish Euro 4 Aged White Signature Model, which feels like a road-worn classic from the golden era of Spector refined for today’s professional player.
The defining visual feature of the Doug Wimbish Euro 4 Aged White Signature Model is its Light Aged White Finish, applied in Nitro White for an authentically worn-in aesthetic. Subtle aging gives the bass the look and feel of an instrument that has already lived a lifetime of sessions and stages, without sacrificing structural integrity or reliability.
Gold Spector Hardware completes the throwback vibe, pairing perfectly with the soft patina of the finish for a bass that feels equal parts museum piece and modern workhorse.
Under the finish, the construction stays true to Spector’s Euro heritage. Maple Body Wings provide punch, clarity, and sustain, while the Slim Doug Wimbish Neck Carve is tailored for speed, precision, and long playing sessions. With a Narrow 1.5″ Nut Width and a 34” Scale Length, the Euro 4 Aged White feels immediately familiar to players who favor fast, articulate necks.
A Rosewood Fingerboard with Mother-Of-Pearl Crown Inlays adds warmth to the visual and tonal profile, reinforcing the bass’s vintage character while maintaining the unmistakable Spector identity.
Electronics are where this model truly stands apart from the rest of the Euro line. The Doug Wimbish Euro 4 Aged White features an EMG Jazz Pickup Configuration – a rarity for Spector’s Euro Series. This setup delivers articulate mids, focused low end, and the unmistakable snap that made early Spector basses so influential.
Those pickups are paired with Spector’s recently developed Legacy Onboard Preamp, created in collaboration with Darkglass Electronics. Voiced to capture the spirit of classic 1980s Spector tone, the 2-Band EQ delivers musical bass and treble shaping without overcomplication, staying true to the era that helped define Wimbish’s sound.
